The new ‘Mean Girls’ musical remake is out, and Reneé Rapp who plays the iconic Regina George believes her character is queer!
Rapp said that her reimagining of Regina George is “absolutely” part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
“For me, she absolutely is [queer],” Rapp told GAY TIMES. “I got into an argument on Instagram about this and, hell yeah, I’m arguing on Instagram – so what?”
Rapp reprised her Regina George role which he played in the Broadway musical adaptation of the film. The new film adaptation was based on the said musical.
Before the new ‘Mean Girls’ film was released, Rapp worked with rapper Megan Thee Stallion on the pop song ‘Not My Fault’ which pays homage to Lindsay Lohan’s line from the original film: “It’s not my fault you’re in love with me or something.”
It is in that song that fans confirmed Rapp’s version of Regina George is queer. In the song, Rapp sings, “It’s not my fault you came with her, but she might leave with me,” and “Can a gay girl get an amen?”
“Somebody was like, ‘She’s not a lesbian,’ and I was like, ‘Alright, so maybe she isn’t to you but for me, she is, so shut up. Be mad. Go home. Touch grass. Play in traffic’,” Rapp, who identifies as bisexual, said.
