Lindsay Lohan slammed for being ‘hurt and disappointed’ over joke in new 'Mean Girls' movie
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lindsay Lohan, who famously portrayed Cady Heron in the original 2004 'Mean Girls' film, has revealed her disappointment with a joke featured in the new 'Mean Girls' movie musical.
Despite joining writer and former co-star Tina Fey at the red carpet premiere in New York City to support the film, Lohan, 37, expressed her displeasure with a particular line of dialogue.
Lindsay Lohan expresses disappointment over joke
According to a representative for the actress, Lohan was "very hurt and disappointed by the reference in the film."
The mentioned line, delivered by rapper Megan Thee Stallion in a social media montage, includes the phrase "Y2K fire crotch is back," making an apparent nod to a controversial 2006 paparazzi video where Lohan was referred to as a "fire crotch".
As the new 'Mean Girls' movie musical hit theaters, one unexpected surprise delighted fans—the return of Lindsay Lohan. Lohan, who played the lead role of Cady Heron in the original 2004 film, made a surprise cameo in the new adaptation.
Tina Fey, who reprises her role as Ms Norbury and serves as the screenwriter and producer for the film, shared insights into making Lohan's cameo happen.
Paramount expressed a desire for original cast members, and Fey saw Lohan's return as crucial.
Fey explained, "Paramount was like, 'Can you get any of the original ladies? And I was like, 'I can't fit five people in.' I felt like if I could only get one person as a surprise, the original movie is really Lindsay's movie. As great as they all are, she's the heart of that movie."
She added, "And I thought, well, what could she do? I didn't think [she should] play a teacher. I was trying to think of something that you wouldn't expect. And just to have her do that late in the movie, it also feels like it comes, I hope, at a time where fans weren't expecting one more little surprise. It also lets her be smart, which Cady is."
