Grief
Aged 15 when David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, Lexi Jones, whose real name is Alexandria, is at her lowest point.
Eight years later she agrees to look back on these dark years: “I got involved in things that I would never have expected.
By placing myself in situations that contributed to the collapse of my family's already fragile foundations, I ended up isolating myself," she explains, before adding: "I hurt those I 'loved the most with hateful words so that they would feel at least a little of the pain that I felt every day.'.
Unhappy and not seeing the end of the tunnel, the young woman admits to having become a “violent and angry person”, who readily called herself a “psychopath to try to justify [her] harmful actions.”
The one who grew up in New York with her mother, the supermodel Iman, had already declared having had to “struggle with mental health problems” and having found an escape: “Art has always been a coping mechanism to get out of dark places.
Last April, we learned that Lexi was following in her father's footsteps and making music, while taking an example from her mother by launching herself into the world of modeling at the same time.
