The O.C. star Mischa Barton has complained about the way people judge her based on her appearance.

The actress complained, "It irritates me that I'm seen as this pretty face. Pretty people aren't as accepted as other people.

"It comes with all these stigmas. It's like, 'She's pretty and thin, so she's got to have problems. She must be anorexic or depressed or bitchy'.

"It doesn't help that my OC character is the pretty girl next door who looks like she has everything, but is totally f**ked up."
