Biography
In July, 2011, she and her mother filed lawsuits against each other regarding Meester's financial support of her younger brother, Alexander, who has multiple health problems. Meester's suit claims the money she sent was used by her mother for "cosmetic procedures", such as botox and hair extensions. Her mother's suit makes a counterclaim alleging breach of contract and physical abuse. Her mother also claims that a verbal contract was in place where Meester had promised $10,000 a month, instead of the $7,500 she received. Her mother also claims that she is due a larger sum in return for "sacrificing her own happiness" when she moved Meester to Los Angeles as a child to pursue acting. When taken to court, the judge disregarded this illegitimate claim. She also accused her daughter of calling social services on her by making up false claims, which investigators promptly dropped after an interview with Meester. In November, 2011, Constance Meester dropped the $3 million claim for damages against her daughter. Leighton claimed that she would be willing to pay for her brothers medical expenses as well as his school tuition, but denies that she agreed to pay $10,000 every month, which she claimed was a ridiculous claim. As a result, Leighton obtained a default judgment on December 7, 2011. In June, 2012, Meester subsequently won the lawsuit, with the judge rejecting her mother's claims from her previous counter-suit.Following Gossip Girl 's ending in 2012, Meester moved from New York City to Los Angeles. She purchased a house in the Encino neighborhood in September, 2011. The house was put on sale in January, 2015 and sold in June, 2015.
