American actress Lindsay Lohan was "disappointed" and "hurt" over Megan Thee Stallion's lines in the new Mean Girls movie. The Broadway musical-turned-movie premiered last Monday, January 8, 2024, in New York. Lohan, who starred as Cady Heron in the original 2004 film turned up for the same.

However, a representative for the actress told People that the Freaky Friday actress was not a fan of a certain dialogue at her expense.

"Lindsay was very hurt and disappointed by the reference in the film," they told People.

Stallion, who contributed to the film's soundtrack, shows up during a social media montage scene and says "Y2K fire crotch is back!" The line is a callback to a 2006 party video taken by paparazzi where Brandon Davis called Lindsay Lohan "fire crotch." Davis eventually issued a public apology calling it a "joke that got completely carried away."

Needless to say, the dialogue caused quite a stir online, with many either pointing fingers at Megan Thee Stallion or coming out in her defense.

Just a week ago, Lindsay Lohan was seen together with the film's writer Tina Fey, at the Mean Girls premiere. Lohan notably had a surprise cameo in the movie.

In a January 12 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Fey discussed Lohan's guest appearance. Calling the 37-year-old's character "the heart of that movie," Fey added:

"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."

Mean Girls is currently showing in U.S. theaters and is set to be released in the U.K. on January 17.
