Reneé Rapp On ‘Sex Lives Of College Girls’ Exit & Feeling “Bullied” By Industry Before ‘Mean Girls’ Casting
10.01.2024 - 22:57 / deadline.com
Reneé Rapp is opening up about her exit from The Sex Lives of College Girls and being cast in the musical film adaptation of Mean Girls.
Amid filming of Season 3 of the Max series, Rapp announced she was departing the show to pursue her singing career. In a new interview, Rapp talked about the work environment she’s in following her exit from the Mindy Kaling-created series.
“The people in my life that I work with now care about me as a person,” she told Vanity Fair. “And I think that is a difference from things I’ve experienced in the past.”
Rapp is the queen bee of Mean Girls starring as Regina George. The singer and songwriter recalled that when she was offered the role she was “jaded and really angry and sad and bullied.”
“I was like, ‘I hate the industry,'” she said. However, when Tina Fey offered her the role in the musical she “was really exciting,” adding, “I have a new start.”
Rachel McAdams originated the role of Regina George on the big screen but Rapp says she has a new take on the character.
“I’m a serial flirt. So I’m flirting with everybody, especially the girls, right? I have a bitchy attitude, so I’m going to be bitchy. I also am very dry, so she’s going to be dry,” she said.
As for working with Fey, Rapp said, “A lot of people talk about lifting women up and being a fucking feminist. And behind the scenes, it’s really not that. And I think that Tina is exactly as good of a person as she is hilarious and intelligent.”
