'Gossip Girl' star Ed Westwick is making headlines again but this time, it has nothing to do with the Upper East Side. Russian actress and producer Polina Pushkareva has publicly called him the "worst actor" she has ever worked with, reigniting chatter across Hollywood gossip circles.
Pushkareva, who worked with Westwick on the 2018 crime thriller 'DarkGame,' alleged that the actor was unprofessional, uncooperative, and strangely dismissive throughout the shoot.
According to her, Westwick refused to rehearse scenes, declined to discuss an intimate moment involving a simple cheek-touch, and behaved in what she described as an "ego male moment."

But The Drama Didn't End On Set.
Pushkareva also claimed that after filming wrapped, Westwick and his team blocked nearly all promotional content she created for the movie over 100 marketing ideas, including posters, videos, and social-media edits. She says none of it was approved for release, leaving her feeling stonewalled and sidelined.
These allegations created major buzz online, while fans divided some supporting her for speaking out, where others believe the claims might be exaggerated or incomplete. As of now, Ed Westwick has not publicly responded to the accusations. With the story gaining more attention, this might just be one of those Hollywood feuds that refuses to stay off the spotlight.

Pushkareva even recalled moments from the set, saying, "My assistant was next to me, and she was like, Oh my God…" hinting that there's much more behind the scenes than anyone expected. Stay tuned, because in the world of celebrity gossip, every shocking claim is just the beginning, and there's always another twist coming.
