Andrea Arlington/ the Mom
As a onetime model, mom sees a lot of herself in her daughters: The former wild child turned self-help enthusiast is now feeling the consequences of giving the kids perhaps too much freedom growing up. Andrea has a hard time reinforcing rules and is often butting heads with Tess, who wants to go out all the time. Jerry, Andrea's husband and the girls' stepdad, tries to serve as the rock of the family, but even he has trouble protecting the girls from all the craziness that seems to follow them.
Tess Taylor/oldest daughter
who was adopted by Andrea. Andrea's best friend at the time was Tess' mom and she was not taking proper care of her (maybe issues with drugs). Andrea has raised Tess.
The oldest sister and the true party girl of the family, 19-year-old Tess hangs out with and dates a Who's Who of Hollywood and frequents the hottest celebrity hangouts. Despite her best intentions, she often falls into what mom Andrea considers the "wrong crowd" and finds herself surrounded by trouble. When not rabble-rousing, Tess works as a model and is hoping her recent magazine appearances will rocket her career to the next level—assuming she can ride the rocket that is Hollywood.
Alexis Neiers/middle daughter.
The one arrested in the BLING RING. Mostly referred to as Lexi.
Caught in the squeeze of middledom, 18-year-old Lexi's love/hate relationship with Tess stems from her jealousy of all the attention her older sib seems to get. But recently Lexi's getting more of the spotlight than she could have ever imagined following her arrest as part of an alleged Hollywood burglary ring. That's left Lexi facing the challenges of a chaotic legal process, hungry paparazzi—and a possible stalker!
Gabrielle Neiers/youngest daughter,
referred to as Gabby.
Why is it that so often the youngest of the bunch is also the most mature? That's the case with Gabby, 15 and the moral center of the family. She has been home-schooled in the past and is now trying to live like a normal teenager, from getting her driver's permit to dating for the first time. She's been rocked by Lexi's recent troubles but is doing her best to keep the family grounded through it all.
I have no idea what the step-dad, Jerry does for work. But they seemed to have allot of money ... and no issues spending it on whatever.
The DATELINE show was amazing. Lexi is in BIG trouble. It appears from Dateline that Lexi's bf ratted everyone involved out and gave all the details on all the robberies.
AND absolutely, this mom appears to be a complete IDIOT.

What is she ON??????
