Mischa Barton Puts Exclamation Point On Recent Controversies By Posting A Topless Picture

Mischa Barton Puts Exclamation Point On Recent Controversies By Posting A Topless Picture

That's the way to do it.

The other day I woke up stark bollock naked, had a shit, and then stretched, still in my birthday suit, on my balcony. No one gave a shit, no one pictured it, and the world carried on turning. I had a sausage butty, had another shit, then grabbed some more Zs. It was chill.

This scenario isn't the case for other people these days. Whether it's wannabes, has-beens or the I'm-screaming-out-for-attention-please-love-me celebrities, there's bound to be some tenuous way to end up in a tabloid for doing absolutely nothing of any interest.

Mischa Barton (don't worry, I had to ask who she was too) is one of these people. She's been at the forefront of social media controversy as of late, beginning with a battle with her mother over their $7million California home (life's fucking hard, isn't it?) and a picture she chose to accompany a post about the recent shooting of Alton Sterling.

The former O.C actress posted a picture of her on a yacht drinking a glass of wine, with the caption: "This may have been going on forever in the United States but thank god the pigs get caught on camera now. Its unthinkable and an embarrassment to America. The country I was brought up in.

"Somebody make change. We need gun control and unity. And a real President so think about that when this election is around the corner. The world is a precarious place right now. #stop #reflect and #act appropriately."

The image received backlash and Barton quickly deleted it.

So, obviously, after a shit storm like that, the best way to remedy the situation is to upload a topless picture of yourself, while smoking a cigarette, sat on a balcony overlooking the beautiful country of Greece. Because, why the fuck not?

Honestly, I know none of you actually care about all this, you're literally here to see tits, right? Well, tough, they're censored.

I don't particularly understand it, it just seems like a good way for a controversy to culminate.

She did appeared on Dancing with the Stars this year, so maybe she's just at that stage of her career where any attention is good attention.
