The mother of actress Leighton Meester has slammed her daughter for turning her back on the family as they face homelessness.
Constance Meester claims her and son Lex face Christmas on the streets after a falling-out with the Gossip Girl star led to her halting all financial support.
Speaking to In Touch magazine, Contance said: "My car was taken away. My house has gone into default, and we can't afford food. I only have $26 left. If something doesn't happen soon, we'll be homeless by the holidays.
"I just got blood work done, and the doctors are pretty sure that I have lymphoma."
She continued: "The other night I was looking at homeless shelters and Lex showed me photos he'd found of a million dollar house she bought in LA and said, 'Mum, how can she do this to us?'"
Jailed on drug-related charges shortly after Leighton was born, Constance claims she got clean in order to help her daughter make it as an actress. She says she took a job as an exotic dancer so she could "make ends meet".
Earlier this year Leighton accused her mum of using her monthly cash hand-outs for cosmetic surgery, and cut all ties.
