Taylor Momsen Reveals Her Indifference on Haiti, Disdain for Puppies
Surprise—Taylor Momsen's classiness extends beyond her choice of wardrobe.
While the rest of her show-business colleagues unite to provide assistance and support in the wake of Haiti's 7.0 earthquake this week—which took an estimated 50,000 lives—the Gossip Girl hellion says she has more pressing matters on her mind. Such as herself.
Catching up with the 16-year-old at a Victoria's Secret in New York, where she was shilling her new celebrity fragrance, OK! Magazine solicited Momsen's thoughts on the tragedy, to which she replied:
“Um, right now I’m trying to just finish my record and getting through the last season of Gossip Girl for right now. So not so much thinking about that.”
But hey, she does think that "it’s awesome that everyone is ya know working towards a good cause.”
Sure. And maybe when this whole Haiti thing has blown over, they can mount a fundraising drive to buy Momsen a soul.

she s right. i cares about f*cking negros in a f*cking island. taylor is great
It's so sad that you actually believe that's what she said and the fact that you are insulting a 16 year old girl. FYI The article is completely false
You know what, people? Maybe you should back off of her. It's HER life. She's got priorities. If she dropped everything she was doing and flew all the way to Haiti, do you think it'd make a significant difference? She's not earning seven or eight-figures a year, unlike all the other celebrities who had the time and money to go help/donate. It's not a selfish thing to say, IF she said it. She's talking the truth. What if she said 'Oh yeah, I heard, I'm going to donate a couple thousand dollars tomorrow actually,' just so she's got a good image and she didn't? Then you'd get mad at her, right? Honestly, she's 16. Some of you say her age isn't an excuse, but maybe it is. Maybe it is.
Hello! gekedkk interesting gekedkk site!
okay, taylor, fine, maybe you don't give a sh*t, but let me let you in on a little secret- YOU DON'T LIVE IN THAT RICKY GERVAIS MOVIE WHERE NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO LIE CUE WACKY HIJINKS. YOU CAN LIE. just pretend for like half a second to be somewhat socially responsible, so we don't all have to get all up in arms talking about what an ungrateful little whippersnapper you are. and just by the by, the excuse that she's sixteen doesn't hold water. i'm sixteen too, and even on my worst, most spoiled selfish "who gives a sh*t about everyone else what about me" day (and trust me, there are plenty to choose from) i would never be able to say something like that about haiti. come on.
@Lilly: Perhaps she needs to learn not to be so far up her own backside rather than what words she should say. @naynobot: Whatever I was thinking it wasn't "F*ck 'em" to a load of people caught up in death and destruction.
Let's all remember that even though this was a realllllllly stupid comment, she IS only 16. What were you guys thinking about when you were 16?
What a cold heart-ed bitch, people are over there dying and she has the balls to say something like that. She didn't mean it, I'm pretty sure! Taylor would never say something like that and mean it. She just needs to learn to choose her words carefully. That's it.
she's 16!! so what, she's not thinking 'bout the haiti stufff. not everyone has to think 'bout the horrible things that happen in this world!!!! let me guess you're 16 too right? look she's 16 but she's not retarded, a simple "I think its horrible & my heart goes out to them" would've sufficed, but she's too self centered to even think that
Taylor Momsen does not like Haitian people.
WHERE THE FRIGGIN' FRACK ARE HER PARENTS!!! She doesn't realise, role model or not...others look up to her because she has what it takes to make it in this profession, unless acquired otherwise...lol....but until she realise that she's in the public eye, her opinion counts...and for her to say such thoughtless and insensitive things makes her sound ignorant...and that's a sad thing. That just shows me that she is a jaded, ignorant and deceitful person. Who would want to have her as a role model anyway...She has to remember, stars shine brightly and burn out quickly...she better make as much money as she can in this field then run for cover.
Yes, she's 16 and claims to be more mature than the next 16 year old...which makes her common...many 16 year olds feel the same way. Her ignorance is typical and it's common to hear coming from her mouth...not that it should be expected. Of course no one can understand devastation unless it's happening to them personally, but the fact that she doesn't feel a need and is focused only on herself makes a pathetic pyschopath.
As much as i love Taylor, this is out of order, i thought she was one of those celebrities who are greatful for what they have and aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in but it seems as if all she cares about is herself, she needs to stop acting as if she's it and act her age, not a 21 year old.
So is it a c*ck up her ass that makes her eyes permanently at "ten to two" or are her retinas detached from hunting for media attention?
How about everyone reveal they're indifference on Taylor Momsen. and her horrible acting skills. Bless Haiti.
haha. Ann O'Nonymous's reply to Keith is priceless. Nevermind, he's probably just trying to approach the matter by an "original angle". He probably thinks compassion is such a cliché, we should try something more... blasé? Let's not rhyme, this is just plain cold indifference. As for Taylor Momsen, you know what? Being 16 is not an excuse and being insensitive to that is simply not acceptable. You guys said it all. I know I don't want to see or hear any of her from now on. It's not like she's a good artist. Quite the contrary.
Hey Keith, when you say she didn't say anything insensitive, does that mean you think that the people of Haiti would be more interested in her record and tv show than recovering from a major natural disaster?
I don't understand. What's wrong with what she said? Since when is it mandatory to think and feel the same things everyone else does? She didn't say anything hurtful or insensitive. She was asked a question about something that's far from her mind, and she answered truthfully. And she's getting dragged through the mud for that?
I assume her ass has a c*ck up it to make her eyes so f*cked up. Perhaps she could extend the eye makeup she has to cover her entire worthless self
Its really a shame to hear comments like that, I was surprised and I'm sixteen. She has a certain amount of an advantage when it comes to giving back and she should put her 'fame' toward a good cause. It breaks my heart to see how damaging the situation has been in Haiti. However, at least there ARE celebrities who are getting involved and truly want to improve the lives of those who are affected.
Terrible... I'm 15 and I do care much about this tragedy! And she is celebrity, so that's why she even has to pretend to be into it!! How selfish... Her music is not important now, what is doing her agent? He could talk to her first, like ''Tay, there was something bad on Haiti, lots of people died and big part of them are in need. So say something good." Or shut up!
what a whore, i hope her character gets killed on gossip girl.
How do you spell C-A-R-E-E-R K-I-L-L-I-N-G C-O-M-M-E-N-T?
Who cares. So a self centered 16 year old isn't flipping out because of a natural disaster a world away from her life. Ummm, SO? Let all the people who sent their $20 bucks to relief efforts and shake their heads and bemoan the tragedy feel superior, while actually having lost their souls years ago. Hey at least she's honest.
She's so silly, don't buy her cd or watch her show! She doesn't deserve it!
WTF? she acts like shes all important and sh*t, news flash missy, theres people DYING EVERY MINUTE, and that's a bit more important than your teenager attitude, get over yourself, get the f*ck off of gossip girl and PLEASE stop giving interviews, no one cares what you have to say. heartless bitch. and don't you come galopping along tomorrow with a statement by your publicist saying "oh i'm so sorry of course I care I was misquoted" we KNOW this is the real you!
very rude and spoilt...
What happened in Haiti was terrible, however, people in other countries don't care when we have disasters (like Hurricane Katrina). So why should Haiti be the ONLY thing on our minds? Not only that, but I think that Michelle Obama saying that every person in the US has the means to donate money to Haiti when we are where we are at economically is pretty discusting.
What is she thinking? she' s so stupid.
Im haitian and i feel very offend rite now because i not sure if my family members have died or what what a cold hearted bitch
I don't believe this one tiny bit....I doubt anyone trying to make and sell music and television shows to the masses, I'm calling BS on this story.
I feel like this was taken out of context... but if it wasn't than that's a bit ridiculous and I've lost respect for her.
Such should be expected from a spoiled rich 16 year old. Hollywood socialite or not, I'm sure the same thing would be quoted from many of the rich talentless 16 year olds across the country. I can understand somebody not necessarily throwing themselves 100% into a cause they may not believe in, but she has to realize when you are in the public spotlight you should watch how you phrase what you mean. This isn't merely a political issue, granted this country has been in social unrest for decades, a tragedy of this level should humble us all. This was a natural disaster of horrific proportions, not something caused by humans such as a war attack. Its very rude to try and ignore it and think all of yourself. Atleast for just one moment, have a heart.
Wow she's 16 and she already looks like a washed up hag
Menuda estupida!!!! la gente muriendo, pasando hambre.... y ella con estas tonterias! me das asco niñata malcriada
she's 16!! so what, she's not thinking 'bout the haiti stufff. not everyone has to think 'bout the horrible things that happen in this world!!!! Uhm, the fact that she's 16 doesn't mean she shouldn't be concerned. People are dying out there, the least she could do is being more concerned by other people's death than by her own fame.
What a cold heart-ed bitch, people are over there dying and she has the balls to say something like that. heartless,selfish BITCH!!
People need to remember that she is still a kid. I'm not saying that's an excuse to be selfish or rude. However, I am saying that we should remember her age before we call her things like "bitch" or "whore" or worse. Adults who call a kid those things should be ashamed.
hahaha what a dumb blonde; wheres your brain Taylor?
What a b#tch. I'm not asking her to go to Haiti , or to even help , but I think that annyone with a heart would at least feal pity for Haiti , who already was the most poor country in America... or maybe she doesn't even know how bad it is - only paying attention to what's happening in her plastic, expensive and 'perfect' worl
i'm 16 years old and the age isn't an excuse to be like that. U can be young but u also can have a lovely heart and have things in your brain. The Haiti's disaster is something that is too painful to prove that coldness.
she's a b*tch. Actually. at 16 . she can think a bit and she can feel at least sorry for that guys that are dying there in Haiti. She doesn't even care about them. I hope she'll learn someday what that feels like. Only then she can say she's mature and blabla. She's a mean girl . No one asked her to think all the time at that disaster,or to focus on it ,but she doesn't even care about that people . They are human beings like her . But,well..she thinks like a stupid famous 16 yr`old b*tch with the "world" in her hand. [ Yeah`sure. ]
god she's so self-absorbed i just wanna punch her in the face
um it was from ok magazine, they aren't exactly a credible source. seriously guys you're saying she's cold hearted and then saying she should be murdered. ironic much?
I think what people are forgetting here is that she's 16. I'm not saying what she said was right. Of course it was a tactless thing to say but calling her a cold-hearted bitch and pronouncing that she should be murdered is quite extreme. Teenagers can tend to get wrapped up in their own lives, especially teenagers who have grown up on a popular television series, having everything handed to her. It's not surprising Haiti isn't a pressing matter in her life. She shouldn't have expressed it, but it's not surprising.
self-centered, talentless, trashy little brat. i got one word for her: karma.
she's 16!! so what, she's not thinking 'bout the haiti stufff. not everyone has to think 'bout the horrible things that happen in this world!!!! ok first of all by age 16 you shouldn't be as ignorant as not to care about the horrible situations that go on in the world. I'm 16 and I know a bunch of other people younger than me trying to raise money to help out the cause. So being 16 is no excuse.
she's 16!! so what, she's not thinking 'bout the haiti stufff. not everyone has to think 'bout the horrible things that happen in this world!!!! I'm 16 and I've spent the past week organizing a fundraiser for the earthquake victims. apathy in a situation like this is never ok, no matter what your age.
to kja: what does age have to do with compassion? when i was ten, instead of having ppl buy me presents for my birthday i asked every1 to donate money to Unicef - and the same the next year. grow up, compassion may come with age but at 16 i sure as hell cared about what was going on in the world. there is a limit to being selfish, unfortunately LA is full of vacant, brainwashed, self-centred brats like this girl. mayb travel abit and open ur mind.
Don't know who she is, so why would I care what she thinks. If you do know who she is, get outside and some fresh air. Why would anyone ask a 16 year old what their opinion is anyway?
What a cold heart-ed bitch, people are over there dying and she has the balls to say something like that. what because your famous you have to help? most of you are idiots and probably doing nothing yourselves so ya know like who gives a f*ck
- I think you're right Bev. 16 year old girls are not too with it on the global scale, their world is all right in front of them. Think about the things Cyrus says, it's youth people. Her age is no excuse. My little sister is fifteen and is helping implement a Haiti relief team at her high school by raising money and supplies for the displaced. Taylor Momsen just does not care about anyone but herself. It's unfortunate but true...
Give it a rest... She may not look like it, but she is only 16. æshe is just a kid, after all. Between working several, probably time-consuming, jobs, school and just generally being 16 it would not surprise me if her days are packed enough as it is. And lets face it, whatever she said is most likely taken way out of context for your entertainment...

Ummmm what are ALL YOU people doing about this to help??? Im sure nothing, so shut the f*ck up. The person who wrote this article probably hasn't DONE sh*t to help a little bit either....and yes, she's a kid...not a whole lot can be expected from a kid who doesn't know much about anything.
Sixteen isn't an age where someone should act so immature. It's old enough to understand the basics of compassion. So, let's not use that as an excuse.
That's when you know your too wrapped up in yourself. When people are dieing right and left with nothing to eat and your just 'working on yourself'. Why doesn't she 'work' on taking that ten pounds of eyeliner off.
wat an ignorant n selfish little bitch...so man y people have lost their lives n all she cares about is her fame...what an immature lil fame wh*re!!
I think you need to remember that she is a teenager. While a lot of teens are really mature and care about world events, a lot don't. I bet if you went to a local high school and talked to real teens, a lot would say things just like that (and probably even worse). I'm not saying it's right, i'm just saying that we all need to remember that she is still a kid before we rip her apart. Actually, I am a teacher and right now at my schoolboard, we are taking donations (even if it's 50 cents and one dollars) from the students; they are baking cookies to sell them in order to make money for Haiti...I understand your point but believe me...in high schools at the moment, that's all we talk about. Maybe it's the fact that she doesn't attend a school like teenagers her own age, that's why she is living in her whole little bubble. I think she is making it worst for herself, it's quite bad publicity for her right now....it's too bad she doesn't have her parents or her agent around her making sure that she doesn't say stupid things like this or actually showing that in life, there is more than just herself.
whoa! that's rude!!! i mean, people were dying in haiti and i'm more than willing to donate my blood if that's necessary, just to help them although its not really a big thing. kristen is way better than her. i've read that she's willing to help the people in haiti and even rob would help too. i'm kinda disappointed with her (taylor m.) coz i'm a fan of hers...well, she's young and has her priorities... :(
Hey, it's not as if she said the Haitians deserved it. Just because other people from the cast of Gossip Girl felt they could help Haiti doesn't mean she is the same. We don't know her circumstances at all. I know for me, I am not well, so it takes a lot for me to focus on things and I get tired a lot. Do I care about Haiti? Yes. Would I choose to go there over my priorities? No. What I am doing is letting people know that UPS is willing to ship out food, clothing or anything else under 50 pounds to Haiti for free. American Airlines is flying out doctors and nurses to Haiti for free. Even if I feel I can't help, I can help others help. And yeah, she is 16. There are a lot of self involved 16 year olds. I imagine she has school to deal with as well.
seriously people, dont u see?? is just another lie made by this site, but off course is more easy for u guy´s to fall on this crap ,than think that she is just a teen. stop being jerk´s
so the f*ck what? she's not obligated to care what happens in Haiti.
I thought she was revolting before I read this. Age is no excuse. It is about how you are raised, what you are taught to think is important. What a shallow little tw*t.
I get that age is not is not necessarily an excuse for her, but awful things happen every day. Lots and lots of terrible things are going on in the world and most people don't give a sh*t. Targeting her for (maybe!) giving a bad quote is simplistic, and calling her a slut is sexist.
maybe she's trying to act hardcore or something for her "image".
wow you people are actually beleiving what a tabloid magazine is saying? good god. you probably think kristen strewart is pregnant for the 5th time with rpatz baby. unless she says it herself then im not going to get riled up about it. and its her opinion not yours she doesnt have to donate a lot fo people arent.
omg , some guy punch her in the eyes??
she's 16!! so what, she's not thinking 'bout the haiti stufff. not everyone has to think 'bout the horrible things that happen in this world!!!! by sixteen you should have developed the sense that life extends beyond your own self-interests. Seriously, her age is not an excuse. She should not only understand why the situation is important but actually have a little empathy.
Wow, what an ignorant 16 year old. She really has no care in the world. Well too bad for her because that is how your career goes downhill, when people are too busy to watch your bratty ass on TV. SMH
Without a video or audio clip, I'm highly skeptical of the accuracy of this quote. This portrays her as a careless, thoughtless and completely ignorant. I've worked with her, and that's just not something she'd say. She's intelligent and image conscious. Even if that is how she feels, she knows better than to say it to a tabloid. If someone asked her about college plans, dating or the Golden Globes, that's the response they'd get. And no, it's not the last season of Gossip Girl. It's not even the last season she's under contract for. So, hmmm... maybe Kristin Stewart is pregnant too...
Um, unless everyone HERE is donating to Haiti, doesn't it seem like kind of a double standard to expect her to? She is 16, not an adult. The people who are writing may or may not be donating, maybe some cannot, regardless this just shows how self-involved she is, most of the people in haiti already had nothing and now they really have nothing, she could cough up some money to give, i have family and friends that are now over there and have been going over there for quite awhile, the pics, and stories they came back with and tell are devastating, and now it has gotten worse a normal thinking person would have heard the news and had compassion but not the same goes for a strung out slut like her.
I honestly don't hate her for what she said. She's sixteen years old, she doesn't need to be involved with every thing going on. She's busy with acting, which I can understand. Sure, she should care; but it doesn't make her horrible or selfish for not devoting her time and energy in helping out people in Haiti. She was being honest. Give the girl a break.
ok wait a minute, theres alot of people right here that are saying that shes a teen like that gives her the right to me a mean ***hole about a subject as hard and hearbreaking like this. im a teen as well (16 years old) and i am well informed about that horrible tragedy. even though i actually dont live in the USA that is one of the most informed countrys out there. and about the famous thing, selena gomez is famous as well and even been like that shes been consern about it. the same with taylor swift, haley williams and i could name a few more. it doesnt have to anything to do with been a teen or a "star", it has to be with been a good, well spoken intelligent person. three things she clearly is not
Um, unless everyone HERE is donating to Haiti, doesn't it seem like kind of a double standard to expect her to? She is 16, not an adult.
she's 16!! so what, she's not thinking 'bout the haiti stufff. not everyone has to think 'bout the horrible things that happen in this world!!!! you know you're one of the very few people to defend her. I'm 17, i turned 17 3 goddamn months ago, I'm more socially aware than she is. That's no excuse for her douchebaggery.
Y'know, if anyone actually looked at the source (OK Magazine) they'd realise how much BS that publication sprouts. I doubt she said that- Like when Kstew was reportedly pregnant? If she did say that, and that's a big if- That's disappointing because out of all those kiddie celebs I thought she was one of the decent ones.
She doesnt have to donate anything if she doesnt want to. its everyone;s own choice to help or not. and yes, she is only a teenager, but if she's such an "adult" she could have at least had the grace to say something to the affect of how horrible this natural disaster is and how she sympathizes with Haitis plight. instead of being a little bitch about. many teenagers dont know or care, but most will at least sympathize even if it only holds their attention for ten seconds
Well, whattaya know. Another stupid bitch who puts her foot in her mouth, along with other things I'm sure. 50,000 people dead & countless others suffering, but your stupid TV show, sh*tty band, & perfume are just so much more meaningful & important, right? Hey Taylor, next time you open your mouth actually THINK about what you're gonna say. TURN THE f*cking FILTER ON. Dumb *va jay jay*.
that is the stupidest, most idiotic thing i've ever heard. A massive earthquake hit one of the most unstable and poorest countries of our planet, pulverized their parliament, destroyed their hospital and killed thousands, and shes focusing on her f*cking record? what a little whore. People in Haiti have no clean water, no food, no medical supplies, and she's just not thinking about it?!?!?!?! Shes obviously taking herself way too seriously, because not only is she an ignorant fool but shes got the stupidest role in the show and her music will most certainly be complete sh*t.
I think you need to remember that she is a teenager. While a lot of teens are really mature and care about world events, a lot don't. I bet if you went to a local high school and talked to real teens, a lot would say things just like that (and probably even worse). I'm not saying it's right, i'm just saying that we all need to remember that she is still a kid before we rip her apart.
wait a minute .... The LAST season of Gossip Girl :O .say it aint so
stupid little girl. someone needs to get her back to reality. i bet she didnt know about that haiti earthquake... - I think you're right Bev. 16 year old girls are not too with it on the global scale, their world is all right in front of them. Think about the things Cyrus says, it's youth people.
stupid little girl. someone needs to get her back to reality. i bet she didnt know about that haiti earthquake...
Ignorance is no excuse but as most of you have already noticed she's only a spoilt teenager - she won't have a full grasp of the 'outside world'. Most teenagers wouldn't be able to point out Haiti on a map. Plus that quote above has no context to it, it doesn't even have the question to which it goes with. That's typical for these kind of articles, most of which bend the truth in order to sell magazines. Like I said, ignorance is no excuse and she needs to think about what she says in the future but on the other hand she's only a typical American teenager. Gosh, she's only 16 guys. Congratulations on finding an easy scapegoat.
i cant f*cking believe that!! what an incredibly selfish child, its disgusting. where the f*uck are her parents??? probably at the bank cashing in the cheques they pimped her out for. she needs a good slap, her and her parents. and then someone needs to call child protective services on their asses cause they clearly need to do better
kja get the f*ck off idiot, you are as pathetic as her, she's stupid, immature, and a f*cking whore, she should watch her mouth before speaking since it's obvious she doesn't think at all, what she said was the most selfish comment i've ever heard, who cares about her album, she sings like sh*t, she says that she's tired of people reminding her she's only 16, shame on her parents for having such a pathetic whore as a daughter, the media should understand that this ***hole should not be interviewed at all......
To Taylor Mormsmen or whatever the f*ck your name is, whatever Courtney Love's racoon faced wannabe, you might express your indifference for Haiti but nobody cares about you or your pathetic tv show or your bansy music career! You're a f*cked up dope head who works in the worst Tv show ever, Gossip Girl! Gag me with a Spoon child! You're a spoiled 16 year old *va jay jay*. I cant wait for you to weigh tables at a iHOP when Your face is too old and dry up! Grow some feelings you histronic piece of sh*t! Those people didnt ask you if you didn't care. Watch yourself! You don't have old to have a conscious!
she's 16!! so what, she's not thinking 'bout the haiti stufff. not everyone has to think 'bout the horrible things that happen in this world!!!!
she's a selfish girl, who doesn't deserve respect, people like this don't win in life, she's not going too far with this conception of concious, she'll probably die by herself, no one likes to stand by someone like her..it's sad...
Taylor Momsen caused the earthquake in Haiti with all her devil-worshiping.
wow..people have lost their lives there...how can one be so ignorant and selfish??
she is a 16 year old. don´t expect a 16 year old (brat) to always have the proper take for the media. would be nice, if that were the case, but in her life everything caters to her and all improvement of herself as a person has to be self-motivated. wonder why her parents don´t care how she dresses or what she says...
What a horrible thing to say...
shes too busy trying to ACT hardcore. so pathetic and bratty. and then she keeps claiming that shes so mature and complaining people don't take her seriously. I can't stand her.
What a cold heart-ed bitch, people are over there dying and she has the balls to say something like that.
