Mischa Barton Attempts Sexy, Comes Off Raunchy

Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Friday, July 18, 2008

Mischa Barton was photographed topless and smoking a daisy on the cover of Nylon magazine — dead sexy.

The actress was sentenced to three years probation and to complete a three-month course in alcohol education after pleading no contest to drink driving charges in April.

Recalling the incident in the interview, Mischa admits she was shocked at her arrest, because it grouped her with other young Hollywood stars she would prefer not to be associated with.

Mischa has often attempted to disassociate herself from socialites Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan, who have also been arrested for DUI in recent years.

She said: ‘That was a low point for me. I never, ever would have thought I would be arrested.

‘I was disappointed because it associated me with a group of girls that I would rather not be associated with. That was the biggest bummer for me – I didn’t leave my house. I was too embarrassed.

‘They made such a big deal out of it with these other young actresses, that, for a little bit, I wanted to crawl into a hole and die.’

She added: ‘It was a stupid thing to do. But I’ve done a lot to pay back for what I did.’
