In 2016, former yoga instructor Alexandria Duval was behind the wheel of an SUV that plunged 200 feet off a Hawaiian cliff, crashing into the rocky shoreline below. She survived the fall, but her twin sister, Anastasia,died in the wreck.
As the tragedy gained national attention, so did thesisters’ often contentious relationship.
Duval has never spoken publicly about the crash or Anastasia’s death. She didn’t even take the stand at her own trial. But she’s speaking now — to Dr. Phil McGraw on Thursday’s episode ofDr. Phil, an exclusive clip of which is shown below.
She tells McGraw she does not remember much about what happened before or after the crash, but can recall being airlifted — unaware she’d never see her sister again.
It wasn’t until “way after,” when she was in the hospital, that she learned Anastasia had died.
The show’s host even offers up his own theory on the incident during Thursday’s episode.
“You wanna know what I think?,” McGraw asks her. “You and your sister had a very volatile relationship. You got into an argument. She started grabbing your hair and all of a sudden, you’re falling 200 feet.”

The Duval sisters rose to prominence as yoga instructors in Palm Beach, Florida,where they ran multiple locations of their yoga studio starting in 2008.
