Constance Meester

Leighton Meester, a talented actress, and singer, gained widespread recognition for her portrayal of Blair Waldorf in the popular TV series “Gossip Girl.” Her life began with a challenging start, as she was born while her mother was in prison. Consequently, her grandmother took on raising her until her mother’s release.

In 2011, a troubling situation arose when Leighton accused her mother, Constance Meester, of using her younger brother’s medical care funds for cosmetic surgery. This accusation led to a legal dispute between mother and daughter. Constance filed a lawsuit, asserting her right to her daughter’s earnings, citing her sacrifices by moving Leighton to Los Angeles to support her acting career. However, the matter was eventually resolved out of court through a settlement agreement.
