Well unfortunately it wasn't just tweenie fangirls. It was US Weekly, they ran an article, very anti Leighton:
Gossip Girl's Real Rivalry! Think the backstabbing on Gossip Girl is bad? An insider on the CW teen soap tells US the frenemy tension between Blake Lively and Leighton Meester gets even worse when the cameras stop rolling! "Leighton is a diva, and she's jealous of the attention Blake is getting," the source says. "Frankly she's rude to people on-set. Blake is much more mellow. She never complains." And even though Meester, 21, swears to Us of her costars, "We get along famously! We're like family," and Lively, 20, echoes, "We're very lucky that we all mesh and we hang out all the time," those close to the castmates tell a dramatically different story. At one recent event, organizers were alerted that the actresses were going to sit at different tables because of their animosity. Says the source, "We were told not to be surprised if they don't interact." (Counters Meester's rep, "This is not true at all. Leighton is very close to Blake and her other costars.")
Personally I find it to be total shit, so does the majority of fandom, but still, annoying.
