On October 10, 2022, Rachel Bilson surprisingly invited Alexis Neiers and her younger sister, Gabby Neiers, to her podcast “Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson.” As reported by Bustle, Alexis told Bilson that she wasn’t present when the Bling Ring members stole from her house, but Gabby, who was 15 years old at the time, was. “I’m grateful that you’re allowing me to be here to [apologize] to you face-to-face,” Gabby told Bilson. “I wish I could take it back. It’s been a living nightmare for you for the past 10 years, 11 years … I stripped you of feeling safe in your home, and I am so sorry.”
Bilson explained to the Neiers sisters how she had felt a “feeling of violation,” but she forgave Gabby and told her to forgive herself, as well. “You obviously have remorse. I let the actual incidents go so long ago. It’s so important for you, and as a mother, that you fully let go,” the actress stated.
