Renee Rapp Sizzles: Bold Talks on Lesbian Sexuality and Music

Renee Rapp, who starred as high school bully Regina George in the musical reboot of Mean Girls, sizzled up a storm in a Cosmopolitan shoot

MEAN GIRL TURNED POP PRINCESS: RENEE RAPP SPEWS THE TEA ON QUEERNESS, IDENTITY, AND BEING A LESBIAN ROCKER

Renee Rapp, the 25-year-old pop sensation who slayed as the iconic Regina George in the Broadway musical adaptation of Mean Girls, is making waves once again - this time, for her unapologetic views on queerness and identity. In a scorching hot interview with Cosmopolitan UK, Renee dished out the tea on everything from her own love life to her beefs with fellow celebrities.

The North Carolina-born singer has been open about her journey towards self-discovery, having first identified as bisexual before proudly coming out as a lesbian last year. She's been dating British rocker Victoria "Towa" Bird since then, and it seems she's not afraid to speak her mind when it comes to representation in the LGBTQ+ community.

In her latest interview - accompanied by steamy photos of her flashing the flesh in designer underwear - she held forth on being clear about her sexual orientation

When asked about how being open about her sexuality affects her music and message, Renee made it clear that she's not just talking about herself - she's advocating for a cultural shift. "It makes a difference culturally," she declared. "It doesn't just make a difference in music; it makes a difference everywhere." And when it comes to writing about her lesbian experiences, Renee explained that it's simply about being honest: "When I write about my lesbian sexuality, I'm just writing about my sex life."

But what really got the tea spilling was Renee's response to comments made by Australian singer Betty Who. In a recent podcast interview, Betty spoke candidly about the pressure of representation and how it can be daunting for celebrities to change their labels or identify themselves in different ways. Renee took issue with this, calling out Betty for implying that she might "go off the rails" and start dating men someday.

"I mean, it's just very similar to saying: 'She hasn't found the right man,'" Renee shot back. "What makes you think I'm gonna end up with a man? I'm very publicly in a loving relationship with a woman." She added that she's been lucky enough to build a community around herself where queerness is a norm, and that she's no longer worried about being perceived as "representative" of anything. "I had a gun to my own head and was like: 'Tell me what you are, right the f* now,' because I was trying to figure it out," Renee recalled.

Now the 25-year-old has embarked on a career as a pop act, and has spoken frankly about singing about her sexuality in an interview with Cosmopolitan UK

The Mean Girls alum also took a swipe at Betty for implying that she might "suddenly" become attracted to men in the future. "Like, no-one ever had a gun to my head and was like: 'Tell me what you are, right the f* now.' I just think it's so confusing when people try to do that to other people," Renee said. "Just focus on yourself. Don't bring my big f*ing lesbian name into your mouth and into this drama."

The full interview with Cosmopolitan UK is available online at thescholarlynote.com, where readers can get a glimpse of Renee's unapologetic personality and her take on everything from pop music to queer identity.

In related news, Renee has been making waves in the music industry with her latest album Bite Me, which features her signature blend of edgy lyrics and infectious beats. The singer has been praised for her boldness and authenticity, both in her music and in her interviews.

Although she once called herself 'the bisexual Justin Bieber,' she has since come out as a lesbian and is happily dating British songstress Victoria 'Towa' Bird

When asked about what's next for Renee Rapp, a source close to the singer revealed that she's been working on new music and collaborating with other artists in the LGBTQ+ community. "Renee is all about being true to herself and using her platform to amplify queer voices," the insider said. "She's not afraid to speak her mind and challenge the status quo, and we can't wait to see what she does next."

Stay tuned for more updates on Renee Rapp and her music - you know she'll be serving up plenty of tea in the months to come!

Renee opined that her forthrightness 'makes a difference culturally,' while adding that 'its important to me in a way that I'm not even thinking about most of the time'

She explained that 'when I write about my lesbian sexuality, I'm just writing about my sex life.'

Renee said that 'every space that I go into, is inherently queer, because I'm there and my friends are there, so I'm not even making an effort to do it anymore'

'I used to make a really concerted effort,' said Renee: 'But now, I've built this life for myself, and I¿m lucky to have people around me that do the same'

In her interview, Renee also took offense to comments made by Australian singer Betty Who, who identifies as bisexual and nonbinary

'There is so much pressure when it comes to labelling yourself, but I think that pressure often comes from you,' Renee reasoned

Renee, pictured with Towa in May 2024, said: 'Also, how about don't talk about me when it comes to a man? I'm very publicly in a very loving relationship with a woman'
