Mischa Barton has quit the Hollywood party scene

Former 'The O.C. Mischa Barton has quit the Hollywood party scene.

Barton has grown tired of the constant bickering and backstabbing that goes on in Tinseltown.

She said: "When I got to Hollywood I didn't know anything about the business
and you don't make the best of friends. You make a few mistakes when you're
that age and it took me a while to find the friends I needed to be truly
comfortable. I'm a private person, you won't find more than four or five
true friends around me, ever."

She added: "The tabloid persona - it is a persona. It's not me. I think,
'Who the hell is that girl?' I'm so low-key and chilled. But the media has
created a fake 'young Hollywood' where everyone hangs out together and
everybody knows each other. It couldn't be further from the truth. I feel
so, so different from those girls."
