The new Bravo show "NYC Prep" has got New York's real gossip girls and guys quaking in their Gucci loafers.
The show mimics "Gossip Girl" ... with a healthy dose of drugs and sex. Two of the show's stars, recent Dwight School grads "PC" Peterson and Jessie Leavitt, went on the air yakking about booze, sex, and smoking up -- and that was just the first episode.
The Dwight School is apparently panicked that other students will appear in similar shows exhibiting similar debauchery. So they sent a letter to the student body and alums, expressing a "zero tolerance." But the letter is so confusing, it's not clear if school honchos mean a zero tolerance for drugs and sex or a zero tolerance for appearing on reality shows.
The school is also concerned about perpetuating stereotypes. Hmmm ... spoiled rich kids screwing up. Is it a stereotype if it's true?

(Page 1 of 1)There's a lot of fun "NYC Prep" content at BravoTV.com. For instance, there's a fun quiz to see whether you could survive in the Darwinian private-school world of "NYC Prep":

those kids are all spoiled pricks. i watched that and thought, "please dont let people think most New Yorkers are stuck up entitled asssholes." This shows me even if you get rich someday, never let your kids know. The one pair of kids' parents dont even live with them, they live in the hamptons. dumb rich idiots.
I think that PC is a douchebag as well as a closet case.
Why are these schools having a fit? People already know that these private school brats ARE no different than public school brats. The upper crust is showing its mushy side if they are letting 6 c-listed students lead them into a panic
The funny thing here is that every kid who goes to private school in the city knows that Dwight is quite literally at the bottom of the barrel, both academically and monetarily. In fact the acronym for it when I was growing up was "Dumb White Idiots Getting High Together".
The smart kids with money go to Horace Mann, Fieldston, Trinity, Collegiate and Spence.
According to I believe The NY Post, the school that the kid from "Desperate Housewives of NYC" - Ramona's child - -is also ripped at both the kid and especially the mother for pretty much acting like an idiot of cable TV. Can't say I blame them, the mother is a serious piece of work.
