The theory that Regina George is a lesbian has been just that — a theory. But Reneé Rapp has been hinting that this theory may be a fact in the new adaptation, especially with her very queer lyrics in her single for the film featuring Megan Thee Stallion.

The name of the song is “It’s Not My Fault”, which is a play on a quote from the original movie: “It’s not my fault you’re, like, in love with me or something!” Not only is the song pure pop goodness, but some of the lyrics have the lesbians raising their eyebrows.
You might be thinking, they can’t be that obvious, can they? Well, the chorus starts with the line “It’s not my fault/ You came with her but she might leave with me.” In the second verse, Rapp sings, “Get her number, get her name/ Get a good thing while you can/ Kiss a blonde, kiss a friend/ Can a gay girl get an, ‘Amen?’”

As of right now, there’s no confirmation that Regina George is queer in the 2024 musical adaptation of Mean Girls, but Rapp’s lyrics have all of our hopes up.
Rapp, who is a bicon herself, has been very publically pushing for the queer narrative for Regina from the beginning. She even shared a photo of herself from the Mean Girls press junket last week with the caption “Regina George was a lesbian.”
All of our questions will be answered in January, when the movie finally hits theaters. It’s based on the Broadway adaptation of the original iconic 2004 film. If they stick to the Broadway script, Regina will still compete with Cady for the affection of Aaron Samuels, but what’s gayer than trying to get a girl to notice you’re hot by getting with the guy she likes?
