Gossip Girl: Leighton Meester Denies It’s Her on Sex Tape
The character that she plays on CW hit Gossip Girl
may be a naughty girl, but Leighton Meester said that the circulating sex tape featuring her and an unidentified partner is “not real.”
“It isnot real, so it makes me sort of sad. It’s unfortunate that it got carried as far as it did,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “People think it’s real because somebody says it is.”
The 23-year-old actress who plays Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl
added that the incidence merely illustrated one of the downsides of fame. “I definitely understand the nature of people better now and that the mere allegation of something like that could be headline news.
“[I don't] want most of what comes along with all of this,” she said.
Meester said that in contrast to the bad girl Blair Waldorf, she is in reality a good girl. “I’ve never been crazy. I’m a very good girl, to be honest,” she said. “I don’t do anything to hurt anybody. Honestly, all I ever do is work.”
TMZ claimed in June that a company was shopping a scandalous, X-rated video from a few years back that featured a younger Gossip Girl
star performing a striptease for her then boyfriend.
In the same interview with the magazine, which features her on the cover, she also revealed that she endured walking for a mile in a pair of Marc Jacobs red leather slingbacks prior to snagging the role of Blair Waldorf on the series.
“In my heart, I could picture myself wearing them living in New York,” she said. “So I wore them to the audition and got the part. I can’t give them away because every time I wear them, I’m living that dream.”
