‘RHOC’ Alumna Lynne Curtin’s Homeless Daughter Arrested With Drug Paraphernalia
The homeless daughter of “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum Lynne Curtin was arrested for alleged possession of drug paraphernalia months after her “public cry for help.”
Alexa Curtin received a citation at a Jack in the Box in Fullerton, Calif., on July 21, TMZ reported Wednesday.
Cops allegedly found an opium pipe on her and she was charged with a misdemeanor.
Officials noted in the citation that Alexa was homeless.
The outlet obtained the photo from Alexa, with the 34-year-old looking disheveled and looking directly into the camera.
Lynne’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Five months prior, Alexa detailed her harrowing journey to homelessness and drug addiction in an interview with the Daily Mail.
She explained in February that she started “drinking heavily” after high school before “snowballing” and taking pills, with Alexa eventually “moving on to hard drugs.”
Alexa said: “I’m here and I’m alive, but I don’t want to be. I’m not trying to get anyone’s attention. I’m a fucking king being tortured. This is a cry for help.”
The same month, she appeared in a “LA to You Int”. YouTube video, in which she talks about her years-long use of fentanyl.
Alexa also shared some of the “really bad things” that happened to her while living in Los Angeles, from being sexually assaulted to losing two fingers in a car accident due to her drug use.
She clarified that she was “cut off” from her parents, similarly telling the Daily Mail that she “didn’t even have parents anymore.”
Alexa appeared on “RHOC” between 2009 and 2010 with her mother, 71, father Frank Curtin and sister Raquel.
Since her on-screen appearance, Alexa has been arrested on numerous drug-related charges and was also taken into custody for allegedly assaulting her then-husband, Michael DeVecchio, whom she divorced in 2013.
Amid more than a decade of legal troubles, Alexa accused a police officer of raping her and received a $2.5 million settlement.
Lynne, notably, has remained silent about her daughter’s struggles over the years.
