9.Leighton Meester Born in Prison
Leighton Meester also known as Blair Waldorf from TV series Gossip Girl wasn’t always the queen bee of Manhattan.
Well, let me break the news to you: this Upper East Side princess was born behind bars!
Yes, you got that right! Back in 1983, her mother, Connie, smuggled 1,200 pounds of marijuana out of Jamaica with the help of Leighton’s dad, Doug, and her sister, Judy. Wait, there’s more! After they were taken to prison, Judy, Leighton’s aunt, escaped and became America’s first woman on the U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted list.
Now, Connie says about her daughter:
She’s very gifted, she’s very talented, she’s very intelligent, I love her dearly.
Well, not thanks to her! Leighton Meester did it on her own without the help of her parents. Good job, Leighton!
Oprah has her own dark secrets too!
