21 "Gossip Girl" Moments That Were So Scandalous, So Outrageous, We Can't Believe They Actually Happened
You know you loved it anyway, but this show was a dang mess.
Gossip Girl was a wild ride. So we asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about the moments they thought were the most outrageous. Here's what they said!
🚨🚨CONSIDER THIS YOUR SPOILER WARNING🚨🚨
1. When Chuck became the owner of a gentleman's club at age 16.
"I know he’s rich and all, but come on."
2. When Georgina was somehow able to attend NYU, even though we don't know if she even attended high school.
"When did she ever go to school?"
3. When Blair married the Prince of Monaco in New York, and then was surprised that she'd be expected to move to Monaco.
"It made Louis's mother seem like the bad guy for expecting them to live in Monaco and raise their child, aka the heir to the thrown, there. Did Blair think he was gonna rule his country remotely?"
4. When Serena got a great job by bumping into someone on the street.
"Serena randomly bumped into a film director and mentioned she’d read and enjoyed the book he was turning into a film, so he offered her a position working on set immediately. No interview, CV check, references, or anything."
5. When Lily forged Serena's signature on an affidavit falsely accusing her teacher Ben of statutory rape in order for Serena to get into private school...
6. ...and then when Serena and Ben started dating after he spent years in prison vowing revenge against her.
7. When Nate and Dan had unreasonably successful careers before the age of 21.
"Nate became editor-in-chief of a newspaper with no credentials and Dan had an article published in the New Yorker before graduating high school."
8. When Bart "died" and then returned, but was hiding in the home of a woman who pretended to be Chuck's mom.
"Bart was actually alive the entire time and was hiding out with the woman who was sleeping with Nate and claiming to be Chuck's mother. AND she was involved in a sex club operation."
9. When Nate's father let Nate take the fall for his hidden cocaine stash.
10. When the characters all...forgot they were in college?
"After Season 4, the show stopped mentioning Columbia and NYU altogether. Did they all drop out after two years?"
11. Any time that Blair and Serena claimed to be best friends, when all they ever did was backstab and betray one another.
"Like when Blair told a college scout that Serena had murdered someone and Serena made a sex tape with Dan as revenge porn against Blair."
12. When Serena's aunt hired an actor to play her cousin Charlie, and then fake Charlie (really Ivy) ended up dating both of Serena's mom's ex-husbands later on.
"Honestly, the whole Ivy/Charlie storyline was wild from start to finish. IDK how Rufus and William were okay having relations with Ivy, especially since their first impression of her was that was she was a 19-year-old girl."
13. When Lily and Rufus had a child together who disappeared the moment they found out about him.
14. When Georgina showed up with a baby in Season 3 and Dan started raising it without doing his own DNA test.
15. When Blair had a miscarriage and none of her friends or family acted like it was a big deal.
"They talked about it for one episode, and then it was like it never happened."
16. When Nate constantly slept with much older, married Duchess Catherine in order to solve his family's money problems.
17. Any time Dan acted like he wasn't wealthy because he had less money than his classmates.
"They wanted us to believe that Dan was poor when he lived in a big loft in Brooklyn and his dad, a former rock star, owned a gallery in a rich part of the city."
18. When Chuck became a romantic lead after his gross behavior at the start of the series, including attempting to sexually assault Serena and Jenny.

19. When Serena ended up marrying Dan after he stalked her for years and dated her best friend for a bit.
"She married him after everything he put her through?? And their wedding was in Chuck and Blair's apartment???"
20. When Chuck told his uncle he would let him have sex with Blair in exchange for his hotel.
21. And of course, when Dan ended up being Gossip Girl.
"Dan being Gossip Girl was pretty weird."
"Ummmm Dan being Gossip Girl, of course. It made just about zero sense."
"Dan being Gossip Girl is the most unrealistic part of the whole damn show."
"Dan Humphrey being Gossip Girl was hands down the most absurd thing I've ever seen."
