Leighton Meester has had an ongoing battle with her mom, Constance Meester. Currently, the actress is even going through a stressful legal battle with her mother whom she accuses of using the money to buy frivolous things such as cosmetic surgery instead of spending the money on Leighton’s younger brother, Lex.
Now, Constance is attacking Leighton, yet again, blaming her for financially abandoning her and Lex. In an exclusive interview with In Touch, she said that her car was taken away, her house has gone into default and they cannot afford food. According to her, she only has $26 left and if something does not happen soon, they will be homeless by the holidays. She also said that she just got blood work done and the doctors are pretty sure that she has lymphoma. Constance said she knew that Leighton was going to be a star and she devoted her life to making sure that happened. She also claimed that she worked as an exotic dancer to make ends meet which she never told Leighton. The actress’s mother said that she was looking at homeless shelters the other night and Lex showed her photos he had found of a million dollar house she bought in LA and asked his mother how can she do that to them.
E! Online said that Connie gave up her life so that Leighton could make it in the business that is show. Connie moved her family to New York for Gossip Girl and then moved them back to Los Angeles all for Leighton’s career. Like any good pimp, Connie kept track of all the cash she put out for acting classes and private schools, and says Leighton owes her $230,000. Connie went even harder by saying that she is legally a “dependent adult” due to a medical condition and is eligible for parental support. Because Leighton stopped paying Connie’s bills, her house fell into foreclosure and she does not have health insurance anymore.
Connie’s son and Leighton brother recently had brain surgery to get rid of a tumor, and she claims her daughter is trying to turn him against her. Connie says that Leighton threatened to stop paying his medical bills if he did not move to New York. Connie is also trying to paint Leighton as a crazy cunt beast who brought the prison yard to the living room when she attacked her mother with a bottle last December.
The sad thing is that her mother has been known to have a past with drug use and has even been incarcerated on drug-related charges. While Leighton did end their informal business relationship back in 2008, she still sent over $7,500 every month to help both her mother and her brother out. It is sad that money has come between Leighton and her mother and it sounds like she has been willing to financially support her as long as she uses the money wisely. Not sure of Leighton’s mom is trustworthy enough especially with her shady past.
