Barton: 'I Was Misquoted About Fred Segal'

The OC star Mischa Barton is still reeling from her ban from trendy Los Angeles store Fred Segal after assistants there took offence to comments she made about them.

The actress was asked to leave the Melrose Avenue clothing store after she was spotted signing autographs for fans there - but she insists it was all a fuss about nothing.

She says, "Somebody said, 'We know what you said about us in an article. Get out.' So I left.

"It turns out it was an article in which I think everything was misquoted, but it wasn't really that bad. I don't know why they were so insulted."

"It's a lesson you learn that people take what you say so seriously. I haven't been back. I don't know if I'm allowed to."
