“Real Housewives of Orange County” alum Lynne Curtin’s homeless daughter was busted 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, California, 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 Alexa’s mugshot, with the 34-year-old looking disheveled and staring straight at the camera.
Lynne’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Five months prior, Alexa detailed her heartbreaking road 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 this “snowballed” into taking pills, with Alexa eventually “switch[ing] over to hard drugs.”
Alexa declared, “I’m here and I’m alive, but I don’t want to be. I’m not trying to get no one’s attention. I am f—king being tortured. This is a cry for help.”
That same month, she appeared in an “L.A. to You Int.” YouTube video, where she discussed her years-long fentanyl use.
Alexa also shared some of the “really bad things” that have happened to her while living in Los Angeles, from suffering a sexual assault 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 she didn’t “even have parents anymore.”
Alexa appeared on “RHOC” between 2009 and 2010 with her mom, 71, dad Frank Curtin and sister Raquel.
Since her time onscreen, Alexa has been arrested on a slew of drug-related charges and was also taken into custody for allegedly assaulting then-husband Michael DeVecchio, whom she divorced in 2013.
Amid her decade-plus of legal issues, Alexa accused a cop of raping her and received a $2.5 million settlement.
Lynne, notably, has stayed silent on her daughter’s struggles over the years.
