Did Tim Gunn shoot at the wrong target when he called Taylor Momsen "sad and pathetic"?

Whether or not you think that's accurate, the 17-year-old has a natural ability to create controversy every time she says something, wears something or flashes everybody. And now the Gossip Girl star is here to tell you that none of this nonsense is her fault...

"Everyone's like, 'Wow, why is she upset, and why is she so miserable about things?'" Taylor says in the November-December issue of Revolver, before going on to lament about how she wound up here

"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," she points out. "My whole life, I was in and out of school. I didn't have friends. I was working constantly and I didn't have a real life."

Well, that explains it all. Thanks for clearling that up, T!
