In a video posted on social media, Elle Woods creator Reese Witherspoon told Lexi that she got the role of a lifetime. In the clip, Reese welcomed Lexi into a room, and they sat down on the couch to talk.
«Your audition video was amazing, as we were saying, and we had to make a very difficult decision recently», - said Reese, who is an executive producer of the show. «And we wanted to tell you this in person, because you have just worked so hard, and we just wanted to tell you that you don’t need to audition anymore — because you got the role. You’re Elle Woods». Lexi then leaned back in disbelief and covered her face, overwhelmed with emotions. «Really?» she asked. «Can I hug you?» Reese admitted that she «didn't sleep for three nights». She added, «I wanted to tell you this earlier». Lexi and Reese called Lexi’s mother to share the good news, a moment also captured on camera.
Along with the clip, Lexi expressed her joy in an enthusiastic caption. «Me!!! Yes:)», - she jokingly noted, referring to the iconic Elle Woods moment from the movie. «Okay, okay, okay, my brain is going crazy here, I don’t even know where to start. Maybe with gratitude… yes, that’s a good place to start usually, good job, Lexi! Thank you to my family, friends, and agents who believe in me and my silly little dreams».

Lexi is originally from Georgia, according to several sources.
