The controversial 'fire crotch' joke from the movie Mean Girls has been removed from the digital release, sparking discussions among fans and cast members. Actress Reneé Rapp, who portrayed Regina George in the musical film, revealed that she doesn't even remember the scene due to being intoxicated during the premiere.
Rapp shared her experience of watching the movie with fellow collaborator Megan, where they sought liquid courage to calm their nerves. Despite not recalling the specific joke, Rapp mentioned that she enjoyed seeing herself on screen and admiring her eyeliner.
However, the reference to 'fire crotch' in the film deeply affected Lindsay Lohan, who reprised her role in a cameo appearance. Lohan's representative expressed her disappointment with the line, which was a nod to a derogatory remark made about Lohan in the past.
The removal of the controversial joke from the digital release of Mean Girls was confirmed when it dropped on February 20, much to the surprise of viewers. Despite the controversy, Rapp chose to focus on the positive aspects of her experience, particularly her collaboration with rapper Megan.
Rapp praised Megan for her talent and support, highlighting her as a role model who uplifts other women. She also shared how Megan has been a comforting presence, especially during moments of anxiety, emphasizing their friendship and mutual understanding.
