The youngest daughter of the “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum Lynne Curtin claims she is homeless and addicted to drugs.
Alexa Curtin addressed her dire circumstances while speaking with the “L.A. To You Int.” YouTube channel last week in an impromptu interview at a gas station in the crime-ridden Lancaster, Calif.
“A lot of bad things have happened to me since moving out here,” Alexa, 33, told the YouTube channel, which is known for its LA street interviews.
“It’s not really a safe place. I’m probably gonna move back to Orange County eventually – I hope I make it there,” Alexa added.
Alexa had disheveled hair and missing teeth as she admitted to using fentanyl for about six or seven years.
“I was doing heroin and then I kind of like, met some people. They introduced me to fentanyl, so I started doing fentanyl, and basically my life just kind of like went downhill,” she said with a nervous laugh.
Alexa said she started hanging out with the “wrong people” and “smoking speed.” However, she said her life is “more mellow” and claimed she isn’t “using as much anymore.”
“I used to use a lot, but now I use a lot less,” she said.
Alexa said she lost two fingers after being in a car accident due to her drug use.
“It kinda sucks,” she said.
Living on the streets, Alexa said “really bad things” have happened to her and detailed a time when she was sexually assaulted.
“I put myself in a really bad situation and the guy handcuffed me and I tried to crack the window with my head but I couldn’t and he f–king covered my mouth, covered my nose, I couldn’t breathe, and he raped me for like two hours,” she said.
Alexa said the man threatened to kill her but then “let [her] go eventually.”
“During that time, I really thought that was going to be it for me,” she said. “A lot of bad things have happened to me since moving here. It’s not really a safe place.”
“It’s not easy being white and living on the streets, you know?” she continued. “But even any other race, I hear about girls getting raped all the time [in Lancaster.] So you really have to protect yourself.”
Alexa shared that she doesn’t currently have a phone and is trying to make some money so she can buy one. She also confirmed that she doesn’t have an ID or Social Security card.
“I have nothing,” she said. “I have to literally start from the ground up. It’s going to be difficult, but I’m actively trying to do that.”
When asked if she has ever held down a job, Alexa said “yeah,” before detailing her short-lived pornography career.
“I actually worked a lot growing up. I was a hostess for a little bit and then … I moved to LA, I did porn for like a year and then stopped doing porn, moved back to Orange County, got my boobs done, got my nose done, and I was like ‘Balling!’ you know?”
“And then, unfortunately, all the money ran out and then I was like f–k. Back in the same spot again,” she said.
Alexa claimed that she is “kind of cut off right now” from her parents, who currently live in San Diego.
“Maybe I get sober again and then maybe they’re gonna supply me with money again,” she said. “But right now they don’t really want anything to do with me.”
Alexa said that her life was “unstable” growing up because her parents moved a lot.
“It made it hard for me to get the grounds to build my life in a way, it held me back so I wasn’t even able to succeed in a lot of things. There’s so much more that I could have done,” she said.
Alexa said that “constantly switching school systems” made it really difficult for her.
“I didn’t have any stable relationships,” she said.
When asked if she had any words of wisdom to share with her younger self, she said to “stay in the net of your friends and family.”
“Don’t isolate yourself. Try to stay involved, because if you don’t get involved, you’re going to most likely get depressed and turn to either making bad choices or bad friends and end up at the wrong places at the wrong time,” she said. “Then you could develop a drug habit or alcohol habit, and it could really ruin your life.”
Alexa has been in and out of jail through the years on drug-related charges.
In 2019, she filed for divorce from estranged husband, Michael DeVecchio — just one month after her mom filed to divorce estranged husband, Frank Curtin.
Lynne, 70, starred in the Bravo franchise’s Season 4 and 5 from 2008 to 2010, though she made guest appearances in Seasons 6 and 10. She and Frank also share daughter Raquel Curtin.
Page Six has reached out to Lynne for comment.
