The Bling Ring came out last week and two people who aren’t the biggest fans of Sofia Coppola’s latest work are The O.C. co-stars Rachel Bilson and Mischa Barton. Mostly because Bilson had her house robbed while Barton had her 2007 drunk driving arrest mentioned in the film. Haters.
Says Bilson, “I thought it was weird to glorify something that was so upsetting for a lot of people. It’s important to detach from material things, but the special, personal things I lost are hard to forget.” It’s probably hard to disassociate oneself from something you were directly involved in so I’d take her criticisms with a grain of salt.
Meanwhile, Barton just rails on the film without ever having seen it merely because they highlighted how much of a screw-up she was back then.
The whole idea of this movie, granted, I haven't seen it, creeps me out #theblingring . #undeserved

All I hear is “Wah wah wah. How dare you make a movie about a subject matter that personally affected me. You are not allowed to do that! Anyone else, fine, but not me!”
