According to TMZ, the Gossip Girl star has filed a suit against her mother. The suit claims the her mother stole money Leighton sent to her little brother and used it on plastic surgery instead.
Apparently, Leighton’s mom refuses to work, but Leighton’s brother suffers from medical issues, so she sent her mom $7,500 for him.
Not only did her mom use the money for cosmetic purposes, she is also trying to tell the court that Leighton and her have a contract that demands Leighton gives her $10,000 a month for life. Leighton claims that this is a complete lie.
She hopes the suit declares that there is, in fact, no such contract between her and her mom.
Wow, that is some crazy family stuff Leighton is dealing with!
What do you think about the lawsuit? Are you on Leighton’s side?

I support Leighton in this. I just feel bad that she’s been through so much with her mom, like she’s opened up in interviews about her mom being in jail. It’s all really sad for the whole family.

She can sue, but I don’t know how much money her mom is going to have.
guest
I definitely am on Leighton’s side. Clearly her mom cares more about herself than her own family members. This is so upsetting.

If her mom has been in jail and she is suing her, I doubt she’ll get much money. However, I support Leighton completely. What her mom did was wrong and her mother should know that.
guest

“she is also trying to tell the court that Leighton and her have a
contract that demands Leighton gives her $10,000 a month for life.”
Sounds totally believable.
guest
that’s cruel that she used the money for vanity purposes when her son has medical issues. she should sue and I feel for her brother the most.

How sad, she can’t trust her own mom not too use her for her money and fame. And she was just trying to help the family out.

I feel bad for the son
. That’s sad that he needs medical attention and the mom would even think about spending the money on herself for something so superficial.

Wow. This is just fucked up in a lot of ways.
guest
That’s messed up.
guest
well of course im “on her side”. what a shitty mother.
guest
I agree with the person that says she can sue and no one would blame her, but exactly how much money is a person that refuses to work going to have?
guest
“She hopes the suit declares that there is, in fact, no such contract between her and her mom. ”
I think she is hoping for the stated above so that any money she will send in the future will not go to her mother but to her brother, and that the money in the future cannot be disputed because of this lawsuit.
guest
The lawsuit seems pointless. Why not sue for custody and take care of her brother directly? That would be a lawsuit with a point.

She probably is suing for custody.
guest
I hope she is suing for custody of her brother… Their mom is nuts!
guest
@Lost_Muse@xanga - I agree gazillion percent hope she gets a professional stay at home nurse for him and someone that takes him to his daily appointments.
guest
@wyrdkismet@xanga - I don’t know if she’s trying to get money rather than teach her mother a lesson.
guest
I probably would do the same thing because her mother is taking advantage of her, and what her mother did was awful. If her brother need that money for MEDICAL purposes and her mother stole it, her mother deserves consequences.
guest
Nice mom huh….
Thats really good that she is helping but her mom expects 10,000 a month for LIFE?… I couldnt even spend that much a month! Wow, some people are so stupid… Im sure she would help her mom if she wasnt such a moron!
Her poor brother though
guest
even if the mom refuses to work and doesn’t have much money, they can probably take the mom’s property and sell it and give the money to leighton. there are always ways to get money if someone owes you. but yeah, this is so sad. what a terrible mom.
guest
I have no idea who she is, but her mother doesn’t appear to have any right in this matter. I am sure there is more to the claim then meets the eye however.
guest
did’nt hav d tym to read next time
guest
I love my mom, but if I was in Leighton’s position, I’d sue the fuck out of her too! How could her mom take money from her son, HER SICKLY SON, and use it for plastic surgery?? WHAT THE FUCK. That bitch can spend a million dollars on plastic surgery, but she’ll never be beautiful. She sounds like a ugly selfish wench. Ugh. She should eat some damn makeup and try to make herself pretty on the inside.
guest
Her mom is a leech, that’s so pathetic..
