Orlando Bloom was Robbed— and We’re All Guilty with Alexis Haines Jun 10, 2022

In the early 2000s, a group of teenagers collectively known as "The Bling Ring" reportedly stole over $3 million dollar’s worth of possessions from celebrities like Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson, Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan and more.

Over a decade later, a viral Vanity Fair article and a subsequent film still control the narrative of this story— not the people involved. If you watched the film, you might think that Alexis Haines (née Neiers) was the ringleader of the Bling Ring. So it might surprise you to learn that she was actually only at one of the break-ins, and at the time, she was addicted to heroin and dealing with the aftermath of abuse. Alexis will be the first one to tell you that stealing is always wrong. Full stop. But so long as her story is still being told in the media, she should be the one to tell it.

Alexis tells Nicole and Morgan her side of The Bling Ring story, her tips on manifesting money, the financial and emotional cost of reality TV, the latest on her divorce, the silver linings of her recovery journey, and everything in-between.

Today, we’re talking about the version of a Karen who walks around in platform flip-flops, who asks for the manager, and has THE haircut, you know, the Karen. That Karen… may not be all that bad.

Nicole gives a listener advice on what to do about taxes if you filed for unemployment last year, and debunks Dave Ramsey’s statements that people collecting the stimulus check are "screwed." Nicole says: You are not screwed.

From This Episode:

Report your unemployment benefits on your Federal Tax Return, which will say “Form 1040”.

You’ll need Form 1099-G, which you should have received from your state. You can see how much you received in unemployment benefits in Box 1.

You’ll need to report this amount on your tax return on line 7, Schedule 1.

You also have to report any taxes that were withheld from your unemployment benefits… to find that number, look at that trusty Form 1099-G again… the amount of taxes that were withheld from your unemployment benefits is in box 4. You report that amount on line 25b of your tax return.

If you have an income of $72,000 or less, you can file for free using the IRS Free File program.
