Laguna Beach’s ALEX MURREL (on Laguna Beach, The Hills, RHOC & Dating Nick Carter) II May 03, 2026

Show notes

Laguna Beach’s Alex Murrel Johnson, otherwise know as Alex M, Steps Behind The Rope. With Laguna Beach’s 20th Anniversary having aired earlier this month, all things Laguna are top of the mind. One of the granddaddy’s of them all, or as we like to say, one of the best reality shows to ever exist. Alex explains what it was like to be a student at Laguna Beach High School when MTV came knocking on its door. Alex discusses how she felt with her “bit*h” edit once she watched the show back as the season aired. Alex also discusses what it was like to gain instant fame overnight and how life changed once that fame, and money, started to roll in. Of course, we also discuss her Laguna Beach colleagues Lauren Conrad, Jason Wahler, Stephen Colletti and Kristin Cavallari. We discuss what our fav Laguna Beach students were like way back when, and the status of each of these relationships today. Alex discusses what life was like once her time on the show ended and she moved to LA, where she initially spent a lot of time hanging out in the clubs with other friends, including some of our favorite Hill’s cast members, Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag, Brody Jenner and Spencer Pratt. During her time in Los Angeles she also partied with Celebs like Paris Hilton, Aaron Carter and ex boyfriend Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. Last, but not least, we talk RHOC, Bravo and the current state of reality tv. Part II starts now.
