'Get me the f**k out of here.' The true story behind Netflix's The Real Bling Ring.

The year was 2009. Straight hair, skinny jeans and fake tan were in. 

Paris Hilton was barely clinging onto her IT Girl status. Kim Kardashian's sex tape had just been released. An MTV camera crew had been following a group of friends from the Hollywood Hills for three years, as they attended LA parties and screamed at each other over their bougie cocktails. 

It was a wild time and things were about to become... wilder. 

On the night of July 13, Alexis Neiers, an 18-year-old budding actress who grew up in the affluent suburb of Calabasas, was drinking in a trendy bar on Hollywood Boulevard. She was there with her friend Nick Prugo. 

When Prugo received a phone call from his friend Rachel Lee, asking him to come meet her, Neiers got into Prugo's white car and they drove to a house in the Hollywood Hills. 

The house belonged to Orlando Bloom. You know, Pirates of the Caribbean Orlando Bloom. 

Bloom's house was just one of many celebrity houses that were targeted by Lee, Prugo and their group of friends who would later become known as The Bling Ring. 

Now, over a decade later, Neiers (now Haines) and Prugo (now Norgo) are telling their side of the story in Netflix's new true crime documentary series, The Real Bling Ring: Hollywood Heist.

But back to that night outside Bloom's house. 

Neiers would later tell police she was "drunk" and didn't really know what was happening, when Lee, and another girl, Diana Tamayo, got out of the car and walked towards Bloom's house. A stark black mansion on a hill. 

Once they reached the chain-link fence surrounding the property, Lee cut a hole in it and they all crawled through. 

After they found an unlocked window near Bloom's pool, they ransacked the property, allegedly stealing close to $500,000 in Rolex watches, Louis Vuitton luggage, clothing and artwork. Neiers told police she screamed, "What are you doing? Get me the f**k out of here," when she realised what they were doing, and then ran outside, threw up and peed in the bushes. 

The quartet were caught on security cameras leaving the property at 3am and attempting to disguise their appearance. 

Four months later, Neiers arrived at Los Angeles Superior Court for her arraignment with the camera crew for the E! reality show Pretty Wild following her. The show was supposed to be about Neiers and her three sisters growing up in LA, but it soon became about her bid to keep herself out of jail. 

Under a deal with prosecutors, Neiers was sentenced to six months in jail, with three years' probation and was ordered to pay restitution to Bloom.

Between October 2008 and August 2009, the alleged members of The Bling Ring stole over $3 million from some of Hollywood's biggest stars including Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson, and Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox. 

According to the LAPD's report, Prugo told cops that Lee, a Korean-American girl also from Calabasas, was “the driving force of the burglary crew and that her motivation was based on her desire to own the designer wardrobes of the Hollywood celebrities she admired.”

The rest of alleged Bling Ring was made up of Neiers, Tamayo, Courtney Ames, Johnny Ajar and Roy Lopez Jr. 

As Vanity Fair reports, Prugo and Lee robbed their first home when they were in 10th grade (aged 15), stealing $8,000 in cash. They would also take credit cards and cash from unlocked cars on a nightly basis, a skill Prugo said he developed to pay for his cocaine habit.

In 2008, they broke into Paris Hilton's home and stole designer clothes, expensive items and cash. They later stole $43,000 worth of designer items from The Hills' Audrina Patridge, between $130,000-$300,000 from The OC's Rachel Bilson and $130,000 worth of stuff from Lindsay Lohan.

Yep, it's giving late 00s. 

The crime spree came to a grinding halt after an anonymous person told the LAPD that Prugo and Lee were the ringleaders. Prugo quickly confessed to police, even confessing to crimes they didn't even know he had committed. 

"I didn't really understand, you know, what was real and what wasn't at that time, just because I was so consumed with reality television," he told ABC Eyewitness News in 2013. 

"I was very nervous, very scared, but the girls seemed to calm me down a lot. And then it just seemed to flow, and it seemed very natural after a couple of burglaries. And it just didn't seem like what we were doing was so bad."

Prugo was sentenced to two years in prison, but was released after one. Lee was sentenced to four years in prison. She was released after serving one year and four months of her sentence. The rest of the 'ring' were credited for time served and did community service. 

In the Netflix documentary, Neiers and Prugo attempt to explain their actions.

"I know we did these horrible things and there were victims, and I deeply do regret those things," Prugo says at the end of the documentary. "But for me personally, I would just have to say that no matter how badly you want to fit in, a good sense of self does not come from material possessions. If I had a better sense of self, things probably would've been different. But I'm still responsible for what I did."

"Burglarising a home is obviously not ok," Neiers adds.

"But what drove us was, in part, this societal pressure to be a certain way. This narrative that we were just these celebrity-crazed, self-obsessed teenagers absolutely relieves any onus on the culture and the society that created that obsession in the first place."
