Rachel McAdams, the actress behind the iconic Regina George in the 2004 film *Mean Girls*, recently shared her surprise at the villain's sustained negative reception. She admitted on *The Graham Norton Show* that she had not anticipated how much the character would be disliked, nor for how long.

The 2024 remake of *Mean Girls* faced controversy when a scene including a reference to Lindsay Lohan was removed. Rapper Megan Thee Stallion's cameo featured a line, "Y2K fire crotch is back," which referred to a derogatory comment made about Lohan in 2006. Lohan's representative stated she was "very hurt and disappointed" by the reference, and her father reportedly called the joke "disgusting."
