Renee Rapp hates being 'disrespected' by fans
The 25-year-old singer/actress was recently chased into an elevator by a group of rowdy followers when she was in the UK with her girlfriend Towa Bird and she admits it was a terrible experience which left her feeling very "upset".
Renee told the Guardian newspaper: "To be honest, I kept my head down ... People running after you, into a f****** elevator bank – it's such weird behaviour.
"I was so p*****, I was so upset. I was like: 'You don't get to chase my girlfriend and me – that's not fine'.'
However, Renee accepts that she has to deal with unwanted attention by choosing a job in the public eye.
She added: "I don't like to be disrespected, but I also understand that I've signed up for this s***, to an extent."
In the interview, Renee credited her parents with instilling her with accountability and a strong work ethic which has served her well within the entertainment industry.
She said: "I have phenomenal parents. They were just always like: 'Be accountable to yourself, to your friends, to people you don't know ...' There's no shame in being wrong, necessarily ... [What matter is being able to] look in the mirror."
It comes after Renee - who starred in the 2024 Mean Girls movie and previously played Regina George in the Broadway musical based on the film - revealed her mom intentionally gave her a "pop star name" because she thought adding some "alliteration" could influence her daughter's long-term future.
Speaking to Amy Poehler on the Good Hang podcast, Renee said of her name: "My mom chose my first and last name to be, well, okay, arguably chose my first and last name to both have [two letter R's].
"She was like, 'Alliteration, just in case she wants to be a pop star' before I was born."
However, Renee insisted she is now thankful that her mom was so considered in her decision-making. She added: "I'm like, 'Thank you, God.'"
Amy then replied: "She gave you a pop star name just in case, because Renee Rapp is a huge pop star name."

Donald Trump, Sydney Sweeney: US President says he loves Euphoria star's American Eagle ‘good jeans' ad
US superstar Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad has made it all the way to the US President, with a new revelation sparking a personal endorsement of love from Donald Trump. Sweeney, loved for her roles in TV series Euphoria and The White Lotus, is the star of American Eagle's latest ad, featuring the actress in a pair of blue denim jeans and a matching blue denim jacket. The ad campaign, showing Sweeney posing with her blond hair and blue eyes, includes the line, 'Sydney Sweeney has good jeans'. That slogan attached to the ad has sparked social media outrage from some who suggest the ad is 'nazi propaganda', drawing a connection between the words jeans and genes. Over the weekend, the Guardian revealed Sweeney is a registered Republican in the State of Florida, which has earned her the admiration of the US President, who gave her campaign a big tick of personal approval. When Mr Trump was told by a journalist that Sweeney was a Republican, he responded with excitement: 'She's a registered Republican?' 'Oh, now I love her ad. You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans... That's one I wouldn't have known. I'm glad you told me that. 'If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic!' On Friday, American Eagle released a statement addressing the growing controversy. The fashion brand said the line 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans is and always was about jeans'. 'Her jeans. Her story,' the statement said. 'We'll continue to celebrate how everyone hears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. 'Great jeans look good on everyone.' Reaction to the statement was mixed. Lauren-Ashley Beck, a popular former contestant on the US Survivor franchise, wrote: 'So what is the correlation between Jeans and eye colour again?' YouTuber Amir Odom wrote: 'Love this so much. It's literally a hot girl wearing jeans.' While another person said: 'It's giving 'I'm sorry you feel that way'.' Online, old footage of Sweeney showing off her shooting skills has resurfaces. The video shows Sweeney at a shooting range, firing a gun at targets, some in the shape of bodies. This video was captured at the Taran Tactical Innovations Practice facility in Simi Valley, California, in 2019.

Lindsay Lohan hopes Freakier Friday helps people forget
Lindsay Lohan hopes Freakier Friday helps cinemagoers to "forget about what's going on" in the world. The 39-year-old actress has reunited with Jamie Lee Curtis for the new fantasy-comedy film, which is a sequel to 2003's Freaky Friday, and Lohan hopes the movie will help to lift spirits. Lohan - who starred alongside Jamie in the original film - told the BBC of her hopes for the sequel. "Fans love the movie and there's such a strong loyalty. It made people so happy and I like to make movies that make people feel joy," she said. "There's so much going on in the world now that it's nice to make something that allows people to forget about what's going on." Curtis recently admitted she developed a close bond with Lohan after they starred together in Freaky Friday more than two decades ago. "I felt tremendous maternal care for Lindsay after the first movie and continued to feel that," she told the Guardian newspaper. "She and I have remained friends and now we're sort of colleagues. I feel less maternal towards her because she's a mommy now herself and doesn't need my maternal care, and has, obviously, a mom – Dina's a terrific grandma." Curtis insists that Lohan doesn't need any life advice from her. "I'm bossy, very bossy, but I try to mind my own business. She doesn't need my advice. She's a fully functioning, smart woman, creative person. Privately, she's asked me questions, but nothing that's more than an older friend you might ask," she said. Lohan has been through lots of high-profile ups and downs in her life, but she recently claimed that she's now "wiser" and more "settled" than ever before. "I'm at ease in my life because I've lived, I feel like, such a long life at such a young age. I feel wiser now and very settled. I've become such a positive person," she told People.
