Penn Badgley claims he was "molested" by frenzied 'Gossip Girl' fans
Penn Badgley, the 31-year-old heartthrob of the 'Gossip Girl' fame, is starring in the brand new Lifetime series 'You.'
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Badgley reveals that he's no stranger to being the star of a popular show. However, he dropped the proverbial bomb during the interview when he claimed to have been molested by obsessive fans of his previous show, 'Gossip Girl,' when the series peaked.
“I think as an actor you can become an object of desire, which is something women are already accustomed to more or less around the world — I’ve definitely been, I mean, I don’t want to sound sensationalist, but I’ve literally been molested — just in the literal sense of the word — by many people in the moment,” Penn said. “Because that’s what they do.”
