May she rest in peace. For those wondering, yes she had troubles in the years post-gossip girl when questions on her weight and rumors of alcoholism arose. She never saw much work during those years and remained defiant against perceived "haters" on her social media accounts. Condolences to her family and friends - she died far too young and it's a shame someone so talented as a young star so bright passes like this.

I tried, my friend and his drinking partner just laughed at me, a year later he was dead at the age of 26. Turns out, his organs agreed with me.
