Mischa Barton news revealed that the former star of hit teen drama "The O.C." is allegedly taking odd jobs "to pay bills". According to a report from The Independent, family and friends of the actress are concerned with the professional decisions that she has been making.
Mischa Barton's most recent projects include endorsing products such as Vapestick E-cig and a diet supplement called Proactol XS.
An insider shared to America's OK! magazine: "Mischa doesn't know where her career is going, so she's been taking these quirky gigs to make a quick buck."
The actress is reportedly not open to talking to her loved ones about her recent career moves, which they have been questioning.
"Her friends and family are worried about her decisions, but she keeps pushing them away," the insider claimed.
Another questionable career move made by the actress was ditching the shoot for a movie entitled "Promoted," which initially cast her as one of the lead stars. According to a report from TMZ, the film's producers are suing Mischa Barton a total of $320,000 for delaying the project's production.
The team behind the film "Promoted" claims the actress was travelling around Europe instead of attending the film's scheduled shoot. Mischa Barton's failure to attend the movie shoot allegedly "created a snowball effect", as the lead actor cast in the movie did not want to work with a different actress.
Mischa Barton news have surfaced over the past couple of weeks about how she has been self-destructing. According to a Perez Hilton report, a concerned insider has described the former Hollywood It Girl's road to self-destruction as "extremely heartbreaking."
"She's broke and ashamed - and I'm afraid that she may try to numb the pain. We worry that she could turn to alcohol to try and forget her troubles. Even though she's basically broke, whiskey is cheap and she can use what's left of her money. I'm worried she could end up in worse shape than ever," the insider said about the Mischa Barton news.
"Her parents are incredibly worried for her," the insider added. "They're very afraid of what might happen next."
A rep for Mischa Barton released a short yet direct response to all allegations: "There is no truth what so ever in that," the rep said to Perez Hilton
