Full disclosure: I love "Gossip Girl," the delightfully dishy and wonderfully silly teen soap opera that ran on The CW from 2007 to 2012. Based quite loosely on a series of young adult novels by Cecily von Ziegesar, the series, created by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage , focused on an über-wealthy group of Manhattan teenagers who cavort around the city and get into all sorts of dramatic romantic entanglements. According to one former cast member, though, she wanted to leave the show ... and was punished for it.
Former child actress Taylor Momsen , who played aspiring social climber Jenny Humphrey from the show's first season until its fourth, appeared on "Call Her Daddy" and revealed that she tried to abruptly leave the show to devote time to her band, the Pretty Reckless.
