In the recording, the young woman recounts how the pressure of growing up in the shadow of two global icons and family tragedies led her into a spiral of depression, eating disorders, and addictions.
Lexi explains that her mental health problems began at a very young age. Before turning ten, she was already in therapy due to anxiety attacks and learning difficulties affecting her school performance. At 11, she started self-harming, and at 12, she developed bulimia, constantly feeling "incompetent and unworthy" compared to her parents' success.
The most critical moment came in 2014 when David Bowie was diagnosed with liver cancer that would cause his death two years later. Lexi confesses that instead of facing the news, she used alcohol and drugs as an escape mechanism, hitting rock bottom while her father was dying. Due to her condition, her family made the drastic decision to admit her to treatment centers when she was only 14.
One of the most emotional moments of her story describes how two men showed up at her house to take her to the rehabilitation center. At that moment, her already very ill father handed her a letter asking for forgiveness for the decision made to save her life. Unfortunately, this healing process prevented her from being with Bowie in his final months.
Today, after years of struggle and a "pilgrimage" through various centers, Lexi has managed to steer her life through art. In 2025, she released a musical album composed, produced, and performed entirely by her, demonstrating her resilience. Although she admits that addiction is a constant battle, her testimony aims to raise awareness about mental health. Lexi, who has a filmmaker stepbrother named Duncan, continues to work on her daily recovery.
