Lexi Jones Clarifies Posts, Says She Doesn’t Blame Parents Over Teen Treatment

She says her goal is to draw attention to how teenage treatment programs operate rather than assign fault within her family.

Overview

  • Jones, 25, posted an Instagram statement on Feb. 27 saying her story was never meant to place blame and that she loves her parents and holds no resentment.
  • In a Feb. 18 video, she recounted being taken from her home at 14 by two men and driven away after an intervention-style meeting with family present.
  • She said she spent 91 days in a wilderness therapy program before 13 months at a Utah residential center, where she learned of David Bowie's death.
  • Jones noted she had spoken to her father two days earlier on his birthday and that phone restrictions in treatment limited her awareness of events at home.
  • Amid widespread coverage of her initial account, she asked the public not to speculate about her family and emphasized conversation about the teen treatment system.
