Blake Lively Defends Gossip Girl
Blake Lively and Penn Badgley are coming to the defense of their Gossip Girl series, saying that it presents issues relevant to youth today.
“I think that our show takes place at a heightened reality a little bit… I think a lot of the realism is lost in the sparkle, and it’s meant to. You need that for the entertainment and the grit,” Lively, who plays Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl, said on The View. “But this stuff does happen and it’s good that we get to address these issues. It does open the door for conversations for parents to have with their children.”
Badgley, who appears as Dan Humphrey on the show, echoed his costar’s statements, adding that the characters who are most engaged in the wayward lifestyle are the ones who have “the most shattered family lives.”
“You see the repercussions of it at such a young age,” Badgley said. “There’s an element of it that’s very realistic… It is heightened reality because it is television, but they did get it from somewhere…”
