Taylor Momsen thinks "fame is so fleeting and stupid."
Given the way she’s treated in the press, it’s not hard to empathize with the young star.
Her transition from television to music came at a price, courtesy of cruel bloggers who seemingly made it their mission to highlight her more embarrassing moments. During the Warped Tour in 2024, for example, a concert photographer snapped upskirt pictures of the Pretty Reckless singer on stage.
"My Tampon String was put on the Internet when I was 15 because some A–hole Shot up my Dress and it made big headlines," she says. "For a year, if you Googled ‘Taylor Momsen’ the Tampon photo was the first thing that came up. When that happens, you just go, ‘I really just don’t give a f–k,’ and you close the computer. People are going to say what they’re going to say, and the tabloids will always spin s–t."
Momsen left Gossip Girl behind in Season 4 (along with co-star Jessica Szohr), though she made a cameo in the series finale. That episode featured the Pretty Reckless song "Kill Me" at its conclusion.
