With Erin Lee Carr’s ‘The Ringleader,’ Rachel Lee finally tells her side of the Bling Ring case

Rachel Lee, left, with director Erin Lee Carr in New York this week. Lee, now 33, is the subject of Erin Lee Carr’s incisive new documentary premiering Sunday on HBO, “The Ringleader: The Case of the Bling Ring,” which allows Lee to share her perspective of the events that unfolded while simultaneously holding her accountable and letting viewers wrestle with the question: Can people change? “It started in prison actually with Sofia Coppola’s assistant trying to get me — reaching out to my lawyer so they could come visit me,” she says softly. Let’s just keep talking, and let’s figure out what the story is.” With “blind faith” and feeling inherently connected to Carr because of astrology, Lee took the leap. Lee: It’s really funny that she said she “thinks” because I literally washed her hair, and she said, “When did you get out?” That moment was intense because her and I were never friends before.
