When Taylor Momsen and her character Jenny Humpries left Gossip Girl I was devastated. Like many very young, smokey-eye enthusiasts, I was obsessed with Jenny’s transformation from a little dweeb into a fully-fledged powerful hottie. And as I watched Gossip Girl after school, my impressionable Year Seven eyes thought that maybe, just maybe, if I chucked on enough eyeliner like Taylor Momsen, I’d transform from a chubby 5’3 girlie pop with frizzy-ass hair into the cool, chic vibes that Momsen oozed.
Obviously, that didn’t happen but we were all delulu in Year Seven, no? Anyway, the reason I bring it up is because we finally know why Taylor decided to leave Gossip Girl in 2011.
