Actress and mom suing each other

This story is priceless. The New York Daily News reports:

Constance Meester claims her famous daughter reneged on an oral agreement to pay her $10,000 a month, cancelled her health insurance and assaulted her in December by “throwing her to the ground and repeatedly hitting her with a bottle.”

The 54-year-old mom says Leighton’s “malicious” treatment has left her “destitute” as she cares for the star’s ailing younger brother.

She alleges in the suit filed Monday that her house fell into foreclosure and she needs $5,000 a month to treat her Hepatitis C.

Constance Meester argues she deserves the millions in cash because she “sacrificed her happiness” to further her daughter’s career, according to the suit.

Leighton Meester, 25, hasn’t addressed the allegations publicly, but (she) filed her own suit Friday in anticipation of the claims.

Her suit alleges she sent $7,500 a month to support her brother Alexander and that her mom used the money for plastic surgery, Botox injections and hair extensions.

So how dysfunctional is this family? Well Leighton was born while her mother was serving a federal prison sentence in Texas. Mom was allowed to stay in a halfway house for the birth, but had to return to prison on the day Leighton turned three months. The future star was raised by a relative while mom served out her sentence for her role in a major drug-running ring.

Can't wait to see how this turns out.
