David Bowie’s daughter Lexi launches blistering attack on her friends for failing to get in touch on her late father’s 79th birthday – and reveals she only received ONE text

by

David Bowie’s daughter has criticized her friends for not reaching out to her on what would have been his 79th birthday.

I was absolutely heartbroken when I heard about David Bowie. He passed away peacefully at his New York City home, surrounded by his family – his wife, Iman, and their daughter Lexi – on January 10th, 2016. It was just two days after his 69th birthday, and we later learned he’d been privately fighting liver cancer. It still feels so unreal.

Okay, so both of them – can you believe it?! – actually posted about him on his birthday! It totally melted my heart. And everyone agreed, the posts were so sweet and thoughtful, the comments just flooded in! It’s amazing to see so many people appreciate how incredible he is, just like I do.

Lexi, who is 24 years old, has criticized her friends and family for not acknowledging her birthday, especially because it was close to the ten-year anniversary of her father’s passing.

She posted a selfie on Instagram with a message thanking strangers for their condolences, while also expressing anger towards her friends who didn’t reach out to her.

She added: ‘I got 1 text! F**k all y’all.’

Lexi, whose full name is Alexandria Zahra Jones, recently posted an old photo of her father with a heartfelt message. She wrote, ‘Happy 79th birthday, Dad! I miss you!’

Lexi recently shared the post a few months after publicly disclosing her autism diagnosis. She described getting the diagnosis as the end of a long and difficult process, following years of feeling like she didn’t quite belong.

I was absolutely floored when I saw the post! She finally talked about it on Instagram in August – getting a diagnosis that just… made everything click. It’s like she’s been carrying this weight her whole life, trying so hard to seem ‘normal,’ you know? It was so validating to see her finally acknowledge it, and honestly, it felt like a huge weight lifted for me too, as a longtime fan. It explains so much!

Lexi shared that she had spent a lot of money on therapy and evaluations before finally receiving an official diagnosis from a specialist in autism and ADHD.

The artist shared her autism diagnosis in June, explaining it brought her a sense of ‘clarity and relief.’ She realized she had been masking her autism for years, which had left her feeling exhausted and disconnected.

Everyone experiences autism differently. There isn’t a single way it presents itself, and many people with autism learn to mask their traits without even realizing it.

I recently found out I’m autistic, and it’s helped me understand a lot about things I’ve always experienced but kept to myself.

It’s common for women and people raised as girls to receive a diagnosis later in life. This is often because they’re taught to hide their symptoms, copy others, and keep feelings inside. But that doesn’t make their experiences any less valid.

Receiving this diagnosis hasn’t changed me as a person, but it’s helped me understand and articulate my experiences, and it’s brought me a sense of peace. I’m sharing this because I know others can relate, and these kinds of stories deserve to be heard.

I recently shared a really personal piece with my followers called ‘The Quiet Effort,’ where I talked about growing up feeling like I just didn’t quite fit in. It’s about my journey understanding neurodivergence and realizing I’ve always experienced the world a little differently – and that’s okay! I wanted to be open about that feeling of ‘otherness’ many of us experience, and how I’m learning to embrace it.

Lexi remembered feeling lonely as a child and spent years trying to fit in by copying others. This involved ‘masking’ – a common experience for people with autism where they hide their natural behaviors and traits to seem more like everyone else.

She explained that she always felt like an outsider, and constantly hiding her true self left her completely drained.

Lexi admitted she’d learned to fit in, but it didn’t happen easily. She explained it was something she had to actively and deliberately practice.

She described it as a carefully constructed act she’d developed over the years, rather than a genuine expression of her thoughts, feelings, or personality.

She described feeling overwhelmed, sometimes withdrawing completely or reacting angrily. She explained this stemmed from a deep-seated insecurity, a feeling of inner pain that gradually eroded her self-esteem and made her question her value.
