Private schools in NYC tried to ban their students from watching it. The rule was obviously unenforceable, but the show's "illicit" content made quite a splash.
Even the show's hairstylist couldn't escape the hordes of fans. "I had a little S.U.V. at the time and I had it parked out front of our location at the school," hairstylist Jennifer Johnson said. "There were just so many fans everywhere, and when we wrapped at the end of the day, there were handprints all over my car. It was like the Beatles were inside."
Serena's hairstyle became as iconic as Rachel Green's on Friends. "A lot of magazines would call and want to do interviews on how you get the 'Serena look,'" Johnson recalled. "It was like 'the Rachel look.'"
Michelle Trachtenberg had to get a bodyguard. Trachtenberg, who played Georgina Sparks, was forced to hire a bodyguard after some fans tried to "pet" her hair (yes, really). "I opened up my trailer door to see, literally, on my first day, I think 40 paparazzi. That's when I was like, 'OK, I need my own bodyguard,'" she said.
Crawford ended up hating all the attention the show brought him. "I think I used to feel like I was fine with it, but looking back on it from a different perspective now, I never really got used to it," he explained. "I'm a private person and I don't like being the center of attention."
Meester was unbothered by the frenzied fans. She shrugged off the insanity, saying, "I think they were mostly there for the guys."
