Leighton Meester has sued her mother Constance for spending her money on herself. Money that apparently was being sent to her mother to care for her brother Lex, who has medical issues.
Leighton was sending her mother, Constance Meester, $7,500 a month for medical expenses, when it was actually being spent on cosmetic procedures among other personal expenses.
“This whole thing’s been really tough on Leighton,” a source tells PEOPLE. “Her only concern has always been taking care of her brother. Leighton’s really close with her brother and her dad – her parents are divorced. Leighton’s a sweet girl – she cares about work, friends and family.”
The Gossip Girl actress, 25, claims her mother threatened to sue her for $3 million if she didn’t raise the monthly allowance to $10,000.
Constance Meester has had legal troubles before. In the 1980s, she was convicted of helping a drug ring smuggle marijuana from Jamaica to the U.S. – and gave birth to Leighton while in a Texas halfway house.
Another woman also won a restraining order against Constance earlier this year after alleged harassment.
The most recent lawsuit was first reported by TMZ.com.

Most of the women last night looked gorgeous, but there were a few misses, if you ask me! These were my bottom 10… the outfits I didn’t care for. Do you agree/disagree?
I didn’t care for Sandra Bullock’s dress – but it was mostly about that dreadful hair! Just wasn’t a good look, in my opinion!
Here’s my worst dressed:
Heidi Klum
Annette Bening
Nicole Kidman (wasn’t terrible, just wasn’t a favorite)
Sandra Bullock
Leighton Meester
Julianne Moore
Tilda Swinton
Megan Fox
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Gabourey Sidibe
What do you think?

January Jones certainly left little to the imagination with her stunning red Versace dress! I loved it! Other stars pictured below: Leighton Meester, Ryan Gosling, Mark Ruffalo, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Christian Bale, Colin Firth, Johnny Depp and Christina Hendricks.
Who’s your favorite?
