The Pretty Reckless singer, 30, appeared on her “Gossip Girl” co-star’s “Podcrushed” podcast to discuss her life as an actress turned rockstar.
“That was the first [full] year where I was in school, and I had the opportunity to try and actually make friends,” she shared.
“I got uprooted to New York. The band fell apart,” the “My Medicine” singer said, before joking, “We were gonna be huge. It was a real bummer.”However, her bid at a normal life only lasted for a year because she was cast as Jenny Humphrey on “Gossip Girl” at the age of 12.“I had to kind of restart it all again in New York, which didn’t take me that long,” she recalled.
At the time, she made the decision to quit the show after spending a lot of her free time working on songs due to feeling isolated from her co-stars because of their massive age gap. Momsen told the “You” star, 36, that she didn’t fit in with him or the older cast, including Blake Lively, 36, and Leighton Meester, 37.
“Literally, as soon as I got to an age where I could make my own decisions, it was like a click … I woke up one morning and went, ‘Wait a second. I don’t have to do this?'” she recalled
