Lindsay Lohan, known for her role as Cady Heron in the original 2004 Mean Girls film, was reportedly "very hurt and disappointed" by a reference in the new Mean Girls movie musical. The actress made a surprise cameo in the film, but a line of dialogue mentioning "fire crotch" did not sit well with her. The reference is connected to a 2006 incident when Brandon Davis used the term to describe Lohan.
Lohan's representative expressed her disappointment with the inclusion of the joke. The spokesperson revealed that Lindsay felt hurt by the reference in the film. Paramount, the studio behind the movie, has not yet responded to these comments.
In the new Mean Girls film, rapper Megan Thee Stallion makes a cameo, contributing to social media montages. In one scene, she refers to the character Cady (played by Angourie Rice) and her outfit as "Y2K fire crotch," alluding to the past controversy involving Lindsay Lohan.
Tina Fey, who wrote the original Mean Girls film and reprised her role as Ms. Norbury in the new movie, spoke about including Lindsay Lohan in the project. Fey acknowledged that the original movie was Lindsay's, and she wanted to surprise fans with her cameo. Lohan's appearance is seen as a tribute to the actress's pivotal role in the original film.
Fey also discussed adapting the script to modern sensibilities, acknowledging the changing landscape of humor and avoiding jokes that may cause unintended offense. The updated Mean Girls movie aims to strike a balance between nostalgia and current social awareness.
Angourie Rice, who portrays Cady in the new film, expressed gratitude for sharing screen time with Lohan. She highlighted the significance of having Lohan's character resonate with various actors over the years, making it a shared experience.
As Lindsay Lohan's disappointment with the film gains attention, it adds an unexpected layer to the release of the new Mean Girls movie musical. Fans and the media are left to ponder the impact of the reference and its effect on the legacy of the iconic teen comedy.
