Leighton Meester's Mom Accused of Making Death Threats

By Sarah Crow Posted Feb 17th 2011 11:18AM

Leighton Meester's character on 'Gossip Girl' may have been raised in the lap of luxury, but in real life, things on the home front have been far from perfect for the small-screen star.

According to RadarOnline.com, a Los Angeles judge has granted the actress's former friend Laurel Wiig a restraining order against Meester's mother and manager, Constance, who she has accused of making death threats. Constance, a former drug smuggler who gave birth to her actress daughter during a 10-year prison stint, is accused of threatening to "f**k up" and "hunt down and kill" Wiig.

"She is an addict and had made a threat to kill," Wiig described in court documents.

"Leighton Meester's mother has a history that seems as if it was scripted for a dramatic TV movie," RadarOnline founder and executive vice president David Perel tells PopEater.

Meester, who can currently be seen on the big screen in 'The Roommate,' admitted recently that she's dealt with the turmoil in her life by turning to music. "[I'm] writing music that speaks to me and is from my heart," she said, "and apparently, I'm really depressed."

The judge trying the case has ordered Constance to stay at least 100 yards away from Wiig.

Why even report on this? It's invasive journalism like this that gives the press a bad name. Had this been Leighton behaving badly, then yes, by all means; report about it. But it was her mother who was at fault here, hence why make Leighton look bad? Her mom isn't some fame-craving wannabe like the Lohan clan, so it doesn't merit informing the world of her ignorance.

It always gets reported when a family member of a celeb gets into legal trouble.

Glad it was made public, let's you know that these hollywood people are not perfect like they want you to think, especially when they're being interviewed. Everyone has skeletons in their closet. Having fame is the price you pay for having your skeletons revealed to the public.

I don't even think of "real issues" as being skeletons in the closet. We're all human. Human things happen to each of us. We all do human things. We all make mistakes. We all have people in our lives whom also are human. I actually appreciate Leighton more, knowing some of her background. I think most people would feel the same way.
