GOSSIP GIRL STAR ACTRESS, LEIGHTON MEESTER BATTLES MUM LEGALLY

Spread the love


Gossip girl star Leighton Meester has emerged victorious in a bitter legal battle with her mother. Constance Meester has dropped a $3m claim for damages against her actress daughter.
It means the actress – pictured today on the set in New York – can be granted a default judgment against her mother and will no longer have to pay her any money from her starring roles.
The dispute began in July when the 25 year old star decided to sue her mother for allegedly using money meant for her brother’s medical expenses on cosmetic procedures including hair extensions and Botox
Constance hit back with a lawsuit of her own claiming $3million in damages for ‘sacrificing her happiness’ to support Leighton’s acting career.
She also claimed she was owed money as part of a verbal contract, and that she was due $10,000 a month in support payments.
But now it has been revealed Constance,who gave birth to her daughter while on remand on drug smuggling charges, told her lawyers she no longer wants to proceed with the case.
A Los Angeles judge made an order striking her answer to the lawsuit and as a result gave the actress the right to obtain a default judgment.
Leighton’s attorney James Spertus said he will still seek a ruling stating that she does not owe her mother parental support.
Leighton is also said to be seeking custody of her 17-year-old brother Alexander, who has suffered health problems, including recently undergoing brain surgery.
A source said: ‘Leighton is disgusted by her mother and is determined to get her brother Lex out of that situation.
‘She wants Lex to leave their mom’s California home and come to live with her in New York.’
