\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nMischa Barton<\/strong> got candid about difficulties growing up as a young actress.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old recently spoke with Harper\u2019s Bazaar U.K.<\/em> about her rise to fame, including the long period of time where she was sexualized at a very young age:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy film debut, Lawn Dogs<\/em>, explored theme<\/a>s of child molestation, and \u2014 while the crew did everything to ensure that I wasn\u2019t exposed to the realities of what all that meant \u2014 when I did press for the film, it became clear that it was very mature content.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It didn\u2019t end there, as she went on to experience other mature themes in films she did as an early teen, recalling:<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo years later, I did Pups<\/em> with Burt Reynolds<\/strong>. Lead roles in coming-of-age films are always directly tied to sex and sexuality, and this was a prime example. It was for Pups<\/em> that I had my first kiss on screen and in real life, in front of an entire crew. My character had her first period in one scene, something I hadn\u2019t even experienced in life yet. The movie blew up in Asia, and I became a strange sex symbol over there. I was 13.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What the actual f**k?! No matter your opinions on Mischa, you cannot deny how messed up and disgusting it was for her to be recognized as a \u201csex symbol\u201d at such a young age. She was literally just starting her teenage years. And unfortunately, it only seemed to have grown worse for the celeb as time went on.<\/p>\n

The Hills: New Beginnings<\/em> star went on to share how she felt pressured to have sex for the first time while playing the role of Marissa Cooper on The O.C.<\/em>, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cEven being a virgin at the time in that context made me feel like a fraud. Here, I was playing a confident character who was fast and loose, and yet I was still a virgin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While she ended up losing her virginity, Mischa didn\u2019t considered it to be such a great experience, expressing:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kids in the show were quintessential rich, privileged American teenagers drinking, taking drugs, and of course having sex. I knew it was important to get this thing \u2014 my virginity \u2014 that was looming over me, the elephant in the room if you will, out of the way. I started to really worry that I couldn\u2019t play this character if I didn\u2019t hurry up and mature a little. Did I ever feel pressured to have sex with someone? Well, after being pursued by older men in their 30s, I eventually did the deed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Barton even admitted to feeling \u201ca little guilty because I let it happen. I felt so much pressure to have sex, not just from him, but society in general<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wow\u2026<\/p>\n

Of course, the fame stemming from the popular teen drama also meant dealing with constant harassment from the paparazzi \u2014 something she attempted to avoid as much as possible with little to no success. And the more Barton tried to steer clear of them at the time, the more the paps swarmed her everyday life, explaining:<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t want to leave the house. But even if I had wanted to, it wouldn\u2019t have been safe because of the dangerous situations that the paparazzi created. They chased my car. They tried to climb over the walls to my house. They\u2019d track my phone and my car. They\u2019d make deals with restaurants so that when I went to one, someone would notify them. They\u2019d buy cell phones for the homeless, instructing them to call as soon as they saw me walking down the street. I was stalked. They\u2019d shoot directly into my home to the extent where I couldn\u2019t even open my blinds. It was lockdown before there was a name for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We can\u2019t even imagine living like that, but it\u2019s, unfortunately, the price you tend to pay as a celeb. Years later, the London native confessed how the time still deeply affects her mental health:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened gave me PTSD. In the years afterwards, cameras would bother me; any noises that sounded like a shutter would give me a panic attack and make me extremely paranoid. I\u2018d have full-blown panic attacks. I went to very dark places.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While she didn\u2019t add more details about those \u201cdark places,\u201d we can assume she was talking about the time where Barton was arrested for a DUI in 2007 and placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold two years later. Either way, it sounded like an extremely difficult period for the reality star.<\/p>\n
