Actress Mischa Barton has filed a suit against her mother, Nuala, claiming she withheld her earnings and exploited her fame.

The OC star filed the complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court, where she has accused Nuala of being greedy, said the Hollywood Reporter.

'This action arises from the tragic tale of a greedy stage mother posing as a talent manager who, instead of acting in the best interest of her daughter/client, schemed to defraud her unsuspecting victim,' read her complaint.

Barton is seeking unspecified damages, triple the amount the court finds her mother to have withheld. Her five-count complaint includes claims of breach of fiduciary duty, breach of oral contract and conversion.

The actress claims her mother 'had absolutely no experience or training' in talent management when she took on her daughter's career. She claims Nuala set up a scheme in which she exclusively controlled Mischa's finances and only doled out an 'allowance' to Barton at her sole discretion and on a sporadic basis.

Barton also alleged that her mother induced her to buy a $7.8 million home in Beverly Hills where the actress is no longer welcome.
