Leighton Meester seeking custody of brother?

Leighton Meester reportedly wants her brother to live with her.

The Gossip Girl star recently took legal action against her mother Constance claiming underwent several cosmetic procedures using money sent by the actress for her younger siblings and is now said to be so worried about her brother Lex who recently had brain surgery and suffers from a series of medical problems she wants him to leave California to stay in her New York home instead.

“Leighton is disgusted by her mother and is determined to get her brother Lex out of that situation,” a source said.

“She wants Lex to leave their mom’s California home and come to live with her in New York.

“Leighton is really close to her brother, so she just hates that she can’t be there to help him more.”

Leighton who had been sending $7,500 a month to her family is said to be tired of her mother’s lifestyle and “refusal” to work.

Her lawsuit states, “Although [Constance] is healthy and physically able to work, Constance refuses to do so. Instead, Constance expects her daughter to support her financially.”

Claiming the pair had an oral contract guaranteeing the actress would pay her mother $10,000 a month, Constance who gave birth to Leighton while serving time in Fort Worth Prison, Texas, for her role in a drug smuggling ring reportedly threatened to file a $3 million lawsuit against the brunette beauty unless she started handing over the cash.

With the star insisting no such conversation had been had, she is now keen for a judge to declare that there was never any contract verbal or otherwise between the family members.
