David Bowie’s daughter missed his final days after being ‘forcibly removed’ from family home

David Bowie's daughter claimed she was 'forcibly removed' from her home and taken to a wilderness therapy camp before the legendary musician's death.

Taking to Instagram to share her story, Alexandra 'Lexi' Jones explained that she was just 14-years-old when she was escorted out of her home by two men 'well over six feet tall' and taken to a treatment facility.

"It was a weekday morning, I had already gotten ready for school," the 25-year-old explained in the video.

"My mom [supermodel Iman] called me out to the living room... my dad, my godmother and my mom were all standing there. It felt like an intervention.

"My dad read a letter he had written. I don't really remember what it said, but I do remember the last line and it said, 'I'm sorry we have to do this'."

Lexi was then then taken to a wilderness therapy camp for anxiety, depression, buliama and self-harm as well as substance use.

"Then two men came through the door, and they were both well over six feet tall," she recalled. "They told me I could do this the easy way or the hard way. I chose the hard way. I resisted. I screamed. I held onto the table leg.

"They grabbed me, they put their hands on me, they pulled me away from everything I knew and I was screaming bloody murder. I was screaming for someone to help me, but no one did."

She went on to explain to her experience at the retreat, telling her followers that she felt 'stripped of any right to stay in my own life'.

"They got me back into a black SUV and shoved me inside," she said. "By the time the door shut, my parents were already gone. I was alone. I was in a car with two strange men that wouldn't tell me where we were going and I just sat there completely horrified and silent."

The teenager was barred from using modern technology during her stay at the unnamed camp, meaning she was one of the last people to learn her father had died from liver cancer on 10 January, 2016. After 91 days at the retreat Lexi was transferred to another facility for troubled teens, which is where she learnt of her father's passing.

Recalling her final interaction with the 'Starman' singer, Lexi said: "I had the luxury of speaking to him two days before, on his birthday.

"I told him I loved him, and he said it back, and we both knew."

She also revealed her reaction to reading the statement announcing her father's death, which included the line that he was 'surrounded by his whole family'.

"It made me physically ill because, yeah, the whole family was there. Except for me," she said.
