Renee Rapp Roasts Sabrina Carpenter and Broadway Burnout in Hilarious Lie Detector Test
Renee Rapps chaotic honesty was on full display in her recent Vanity Fair lie detector test, where no topic was off-limits, not even a faux feud with fellow pop princess Sabrina Carpenter. The Mean Girls star gave fans a candid, curse-laden glimpse into her unfiltered thoughts on Broadway burnout, gay group chats, and the scariest fandom in the world: bisexual teens.Maxed Out on Mean GirlsWhen asked if shed ever return to her iconic role as Regina George should Sabrina Carpenter reprise her part in Mean Girls, Rapp didnt hesitate. I dont know that Im doing a threepeat, she said, noting shes maxed out on Mean Girls after playing the role in both the stage and film adaptations.Though she clarified that Carpenter had only just begun her Broadway run before the pandemic shuttered theatersIt was more than likely rather inconvenient [for her]Rapp was quick to make the moment her own. When asked, tongue-in-cheek, whether she valued Carpenters opinion, Rapp deadpanned, I do not value the opinion of Sabrina Carpenter.The polygraph called that a lie. But the internet called it iconic.Fistfights and Funeral SolosThe interview spiraled into gloriously unserious territory as Rapp confessed to fighting a seven-year-old outside a Lakers game. The kid allegedly called her a slur, and she retaliated while hungover. Outta line. I shouldve held back, she admitted, though the polygraph confirmed she was telling the truth. Do I think I won that fight? No. I fear hell be using it more.She also revealed she got her performance start by singing at funerals, because, as she put it, I just wanted to make it about myself. Her favorite? Amazing Grace at her great-grandmothers funeral. She couldnt comment on it cause she was dead.Broadway Burnout and Big DreamsRapp got real about her complicated relationship with Broadway, explaining she struggled as a depressed teenager during her time on stage. I dont like doing the same thing every day, she said, noting shed need to re-fall in love with it before returning to the grind.But that doesnt mean shes slowing down, she still plans to EGOT by 40. Is 40 old? the interviewer asked. If you act annoying, then hell yeah, Rapp replied.Fear of Fans and Frank Oceans Release SchedulePerhaps the most relatable moment? Her fear of her own fandom. Have you ever seen a rabid bunch of white 16-year-old bisexuals unhappy? she asked. With all the love in the world, yall scare the shit out of me.She also admitted shes not rushing to release new music, despite fan pressure. Somebody tells me to release something and its gonna wait another six months no matter who it is, she said. Yall are gonna have to wait for that shit longer.Asked whether shes modeled her release strategy on Frank Ocean, she laughed: No, but it damn sure seems like it.Judd Is Gay and Thats a ComplimentIn classic Renee fashion, the interview wrapped with her declaring her lie detector test operator, Judd, is gay. Its a compliment. I like gay people, she said, before inviting him out with her friend group.She also gushed about her girlfriend, Towa Bird, and their group chat, fittingly named Gay. The couples hard launch at the Vanity Fair Oscars party was no PR stunt. Shes so pretty and I love watching people fawn over her, Rapp said. You gotta come. Sorry, sister.Whether shes trolling Sabrina, dragging Boston, or complimenting LeBron James pretty little face, Renee Rapp proves time and time again: the girl is not media trained, and were better for it.Stay tuned for her upcoming music, which youll get when she damn well feels like it.Source
