Taylor Momsen has been suspended from Gossip Girl
Taylor Momsen’s TV career looks like it’s dead in the water. According to Deadline, 17-year-old actress will begin an “indefinite hiatus” from Gossip Girl following next Monday’s episode.
Momsen has played Jenny Humphrey, kid sister to Dan Humphrey since the CW soap debuted in 2007. Se has only appeared in three episodes so far in the current fourth season.
“She only does [the show] for the money,” a source told Us Weekly magazine.
“She works hard on Gossip Girl but doesn’t care about the plot or the other cast members. She treats it like a 9-5. No emotional investment.”
Momsen — who also fronts the rock band Pretty Reckless — recently claimed it’s her parents’ fault she has such a bad attitude.
“Everyone’s like, ‘Wow, why is she upset and why is she so miserable about things?’” she said.
“My parents signed me up with Ford [modeling agency] at the age of two, no two-year-old wants to be working, but I had no choice.
“My whole life, I was in and out of school, I didn’t have friends – I was working constantly and I didn’t have a real life.”
