She was the star of one of the biggest movie hits of the noughties, but Lindsay Lohan isn’t loving the new Mean Girls remake, despite having a cameo in it.
A representative for the 37-year-old actress told The Messenger that Lohan was “very hurt and disappointed” by the use of the phrase “fire crotch” in the film’s script.

Back in 2006, oil heir Brandon Davis famously used the phrase to describe Lohan in an expletive-laden rant, and the moniker stuck.
A source said when Lohan heard the throwaway phrase used in Tina Fey’s musical remake at the New York premiere of the movie, she was “surprised and taken aback”.
Lohan played Cady Heron in the original film, released in 2004, and she makes a cameo in the new one.
She walked the red carpet with the rest of the cast at the New York screening and did publicity interviews afterwards, but it’s since emerged that she wasn’t happy with the film.
Davis went viral back in 2006 when he walked out of a nightclub with Paris and Nicky Hilton and was accosted by paparazzi.
He fired off a rant about Lohan making the reference “fire crotch”, referring to her private parts.
At the time, Lohan and Paris Hilton were so-called “frenemies”, and Hilton could be seen snickering as Davis ranted about Lohan.
Clearly, 18 years later, the words still upset the actress.
The scene in question shows rapper Megan Thee Stallion saying a few words about the new Cady Heron, played by Australian actress Angourie Rice, who is also a redhead in the film.
“OK, so somebody sent me this look, and I was like, ‘hot girls, we are going back red, Y2K fire crotch is back!’”, the rapper says in the film.
If you tuned out for a second, you’d miss it — but it clearly ruffled Lohan’s feathers.
Recently, Fey spoke to Entertainment Weekly about Lohan’s surprise cameo in the film as a Mathlete moderator.
“Paramount was like, ‘Can you get any of the original ladies? And I was like, ‘I can’t fit five people in’,” she said.
“I felt like if I could only get one person as a surprise, the original movie is really Lindsay’s movie.
“And I thought, well, what could she do? I didn’t think (she should) play a teacher.”
Fey added that she’d wanted a part for Lohan that fans wouldn’t expect.
“And just to have her do that late in the movie, it also feels like it comes, I hope, at a time when fans weren’t expecting one more little surprise,” she said.
“It also lets her be smart, which Cady is.”
