A controversial joke referencing Lindsay Lohan’s past was removed from the digital version of the 2024 Mean Girls musical adaptation after the actress expressed disappointment with the reference. The joke, which referenced the term “fire crotch,” was withdrawn from the movie musical rendition. This term became associated with Lindsay after crude comments made by socialite Brandon Davis in 2006. The updated version of the film now reportedly cuts directly to a scene after rapper Megan Thee Stallion's supportive line for the main character.
Lindsay, who played the original protagonist Cady in the 2004 Mean Girls, made a surprise cameo in the current film adaptation as the moderator of the Mathletes Championship. She expressed being hurt and disappointed by the reference in the film. The controversial line was a nod to a past incident that caused a rift between Lindsay and Paris Hilton.
Despite this controversy, the 2024 Mean Girls adaptation included several Easter eggs referencing the original movie and the cultural trends of the early 2000s. Lindsay was named the most influential star of the Mean Girls cast, with a significant following on Instagram and high earnings per sponsored post on the platform.
In November 2021, Lindsay announced her engagement to financier Bader Shammas after three years of dating. The couple tied the knot the following year, and in July 2023, Lindsay gave birth to their first child, a son, in Dubai where she has resided since 2014.
