Alex Kompothecras is perhaps the most controversial personality to come out of Siesta Key, and here's everything that Alex has been up to since he was fired from the dramatic reality show. He starred in the first few seasons of Siesta Key, one of the best reality TV shows, before being let go due to a racist social media presence. While it was a popular show, Siesta Key isn't returning to MTV. From dealing with the fallout over getting axed from the hit MTV reality show to the status of his relationship with his former co-stars, there is plenty to learn about Alex's life after Siesta Key.
Alex was one of Siesta Key's original cast members. While on the reality series, he was known as the playboy of the Florida shore. He was regularly juggling relationships with his co-stars and was a heartbreaker. Specifically, Alex had a tumultuous relationship with Juliette Porter. The two dated for years and even saw each other while Alex was dating his current girlfriend, Alyssa Salerno. In addition to stirring up relationship drama, Alex caused controversy behind the scenes of Siesta Key. Before the MTV series even aired, Alex was causing trouble. Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent and Jayde Nicole from The Hills spoke out against Siesta Key after Alex was accused of animal cruelty. There was a backlash when he was shown in a video dragging a live shark behind a boat.

The former star was a leading cast member of Siesta Key for three seasons. In response to the Black Lives Matter movement, MTV decided to fire Alex due to his racist past. On June 16, 2020, Siesta Key tweeted, "We’ve made the decision to cut ties with Alex and are editing the current season to minimize his presence. He will not be in future seasons of Siesta Key." This decision came halfway through season 3 of the reality show and confirmed that Alex would not return for Siesta Key season 4. Alex's troublesome behavior on and offscreen proved to be his comeuppance.

Following his firing from Siesta Key, Alex has kept a low profile. After losing his career as a reality star due to his inappropriate actions on social media, Alex's decision to keep more to himself seems like a smart move. Although they had to work through the reality star's infidelity, Alex has been spending his post-MTV days with his girlfriend Alyssa and their daughter.
Alex and Alyssa's child, Alessi, was born on June 11, 2020, only a few days before Siesta Key producers announced they were parting ways with the unpopular star. Alessi's birth appears to have worked its magic on Alex. His latest Instagram posts have featured him with Alyssa and Alessi, whom he is devoted to. This indicates that Alex's priorities have shifted away from the media and towards his family.
Alex is the most disgraced star from Siesta Key, from his racist past to his celebrated firing. Since getting fired from the MTV reality show, he has stepped back and focused on his girlfriend and one-year-old daughter. Fans of the show and Alex's family seem to have benefited from Alex's departure from Siesta Key.
Siesta Key is available for streaming on Paramount+.
