The actor took to X, formerly Twitter, to call out fans who doubt that she's a lesbian despite her publicly referring to herself as a lesbian on social media and in interviews since January.

Coming out is difficult enough.

But for actor Reneé Rapp, it was additionally challenging trying to convince leery fans that she was a lesbian.


So the 24-year-old resorted to sending the message loud and clear in a way that was signature Reneé.

The Mean Girls star, who was known for Max's The Sex Lives of College Girls, had identified as bisexual in a 2022 Vogue profile but recently came out as a lesbian through social media and other interviews.

Rapp's sexual identity was even "hard launched" on a Saturday Night Live skit in which Satlburn's Jacob Elordi and SNL ensemble member Bowen Yang introduced her as the "little lesbian intern Reneé" back in January.

LGBTQ+ fans were thrilled to have her as a member of the team.

It personally validated one user on X (formerly Twitter), who said:

"Renee rapp coming out as bisexual and then realizing she doesn’t like men and loudly calling herself a lesbian in the public eye is very important to me….. i shan’t elaborate at this time."

Another wrote:

"Yes people shouldn’t be so concerned with celebrities sexualities but also we’re allowed to be excited abt renee rapp coming out as a lesbian."
"Do u know how rare it is for a celebrity to actually use the word lesbian when describing their sexuality[?]"

But not everyone believed Rapp preferred women sexually and they apparently thought she was just joking, even though she wasn't.

Rapp continued to face scrutiny.

And she handled it beautifully.

After growing weary of all the interrogating, the "Snow Angel" singer set the record straight for those who didn't get the hint, and what she said was wicked good.

On Monday morning, Rapp took to X and wrote:

"If I say I’m a lesbian I am a lesbian and if someone says they’re bi they are bi."
"I’ve had enough of you witches."

The tweet prompted reinforcements.



More admirers lauded her scolding of skeptics.



She was showered with love.



Rapp has been outspoken about her mood and eating disorders after allegedly being body-shamed when she made her Broadway debut in the stage musical version of Mean Girls in 2019.

Since then, she has channeled all the negative energy into writing music, with songs like "Poison Poison" off her 2020 album Snow Angel.

She also hasn't held back in response to online bullying, attributing her newfound fearlessness to age and wisdom and also because she said she "suffered in silence for so many years."

"This generation is still super mean to each other," she said, adding, "But we are more outspoken–and give less of a f'k.”
