The Gossip girl the alum said she admired how her Sisterhood Costars stand up for what they believe in.

“What they’re doing — whether artistically, politically, socially, personally — they’re really using their voice,” she said. “And whether people agree with their voice or not is not what worries me the most, because it’s nice to see women who not only empower themselves, but also other women to stand up and really fight and work for what they believe in.”
