Mischa Barton Feels “Very Comfortable” with Her Body

Despite no longer falling into the teenager category, Mischa Barton stepped out and attended a benefit to raise awareness of the consequences of teen pregnancy on Wednesday night (May 7).

Barton showed off her signature smile while posing on the red carpet at the 5th Annual Candies Foundation “Event To Prevent” Benefit held at Cipriani in New York City.

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old former star of The OC has responded to magazines printing pics that made fun of her cellulite, insisting she is happy with her body.

She tels, “Every woman has cellulite. I’ve never claimed to have a perfect body. I eat healthy, I work out. I feel very comfortable. I come from a European family that’s always very comfortable with their bodies. You are what you are as a woman.”

Mischa continued to tell: “If I’m in shape and I’m fulfilling my role as an actress, then that’s all that matters to me. There’s been a lot of nasty gossip written about me. If I was to cry over every single thing, I’d be the most depressed person ever.”
