Taylor Momsen Talks Parents, Being A Child Star

Taylor Momsen admits that maybe her parents didn't entirely ruin her childhood.

The 'Gossip Girl' star, Pretty Reckless lead singer and all around shock seeker spoke to Kerang Magazine about comments she had made in November to Revolver Magazine about her parents and the lost childhood she suffered as a result of being a child star.

"I love my mom and dad. Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages," she told the publication (via Us Weekly). "I was still a child. Maybe it wasn't a conventional one, but you know... I like where I am now, so it's OK. I think my parents have learned by this point that none of [what they read] is probably true, and words can be put in your mouth."

She had complained to Revolver that her parents were the reason that she was "miserable."

"My parents signed me up with Ford [Modeling] at the age of 2. No 2-year-old wants to be working, but I had no choice," Momsen said. "My whole life, I was in and out of school," Momsen continues. "I didn't have friends. I was working constantly and I didn't have a real life."

Momsen has displayed frenetic, shocking behavior over the last year. She declined to wear pants and then cursed on a British morning show; wore only thigh highs at a July concert; and stripped to her underwear in her video for 'Make Me Wanna Die.'
