Things just keep getting more and more bleak for little Mischa Barton.
Less than 24 hours after she was forced to deny claims that she has displayed chat-worthy “unprofessionalism” on the set of Law & Order: SVU, the troubled 23-year-old actress has been smacked with a suit from her landlord.
In a lawsuit filed Thursday, M.R.A. Realties Inc. alleges the celeb owes approximately three months back rent on an apartment she is leasing in New York City’s trendy Tribeca neighborhood. Mischa rented out the $7,000-a-month pad in the Big Apple on a one-year lease in September. She had planned to stay in the city while filming her now-defunct CW series The Beautiful Life, but has had trouble paying her rent since the show was was axed by the network last fall.
The realty is seeking the outstanding rent as well as legal fees.
