America Ferrera Disapproves of ‘Gossip Girls’ Message
America Ferrera claims Blake Lively’s show, Gossip Girl, emphasizes a catty and competitive nature between women, completely discounting the loving , supporting bonds many have with one another.
“Close, genuine female relationships are not what generally gets depicted in movies and TV shows,” she says in the October issue of Seventeen. “Like, if you’re watching The Hills or 90210, all the backstabbing shapes the way we act – you go to school, and you think your job is to find a sworn enemy and be jealous of each other.”
Ferrera, 24, goes on to add, “I mean, I love Blake [Lively], she’s a wonderful friend of mine, but shows like Gossip Girl kind of condition us to be mean.”

Before meeting them she says, “I was like, ‘I’m just going to show up to work and be professional – not their best friend… But a couple of weeks into shooting, Amber and I started talking,” Ferrera tells Seventeen. “She’s a hippie, and I thought we had nothing in common – and now she’s one of my closest friends!”
