Mischa Barton Broke? Mischa Barton Regrets `The O.C.’ As She Becomes E-Cigarette Spokeswoman

Mischa Barton 2014: Mischa Barton, who rose to fame on the show "The O.C." admits she didn't want to do the show and that she would "probably not" do it over again.

Mischa Barton says she has regrets about "The O.C." and was "something I came so close to not doing" if she had known how her life would be affected by TV stardom.

According to published reports, Mischa Barton is five months behind on her mortgage payments on her eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom mansion in Beverly Hills. The mansion, which was purchased for $6.4 million in 2005, is facing foreclosure. The O.C. star is now making commercials for VAPESTICK, "the ultimate e-cigarette."

Barton was arrested for DUI and marijuana possession in 2007. In 2009, she was involuntarily admitted into a psych ward after she threatened suicide.

Metro U.K. recently asked Barton if she was concerned about her reputation and she said "Clearly not."

Mischa Barton told Metro U.K. "That would really do your head in if you were thinking like that. I just like to be seen for the hard-working actress that I am and not for a bunch of extraneous press. In general people are super quick to harbor on the gossipy stuff and less on how much work goes into it."

"It's tough," she said. "It's really tough when you are young in this business. People blow a lot of hot air at you. That's the main thing. Keep your head on your shoulders - even when you think your head is on your shoulders, sometimes it isn't. It's just one of those things when you are growing under a microscope and changing and that evolution is human. That humanity aspect means flaws - which people don't want to see. Keep your private life private to the greatest extent that you can. ...People have this insatiable appetite for it - so how far can you go with that? ... 'There's tough balance in being a nice person about it and becoming too closed off and not nice."
