'Mean Girls' line criticized by Lindsay Lohan removed from movie's digital version

A line delivered by Megan Thee Stallion in "Mean Girls" that was condemned by Lindsay Lohan has been removed from some digital versions of the 2024 musical film, which became available to buy and rent last week.
In a digital copy of the movie purchased on Amazon and reviewed by USA TODAY Monday, the rapper's five-second cameo, which appears on screen as a TikTok-style vertical video, is cut short compared to the theatrical version that was released last month.
"So somebody sent me this look, and I was like, 'OK you know what? Hot girls, we are going (to) back red!" Megan says. What she originally said next – "Y2K fire crotch is back!" – is not included in the digitally purchased film.
In a statement shared with outlets such as E! News and People several days after the movie was released in theaters, a representative for Lohan said "Lindsay was very hurt and disappointed by the reference in the film." The phrase "fire crotch" was one leveled against Lohan by oil heir Brandon Davis in an offensive tirade captured by paparazzi in 2006.
Lohan, who starred as fish-out-of-water high schooler Cady Heron in the original 2004 film, also made a surprise cameo at the end of the 2024 movie.
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for studio Paramount Pictures and Lindsay Lohan for comment.
Megan's video is part of a montage of social media reactions to a video of Cady Heron (played by Angourie Rice) dancing to Nahscha's "Rockin’ Around the Pole Again" as Regina George's (Reneé Rapp) North Shore High School reign starts crumbling after she takes a tumble during the school performance.
Several social media users, including journalist Kristen Maldonado and screenwriter Brian Lynch, were among the first to notice the omission last week.
The 2024 musical comedy stars Rice, Rapp, Jaquel Spivey, Auliʻi Cravalho, Avantika, Bebe Wood and Christopher Briney. The 2004 movie, written by Tina Fey, was based on the 2002 book "Queen Bees and Wannabes" by Rosalind Wiseman and was adapted into a Broadway musical.
