Amanda Seyfried says she was grossed out by the response to her Mean Girls weather report scene.
Mean Girls star Amanda Seyfried says she was grossed out by the response to her weather report scene. Rising to pop culture fame in the early 2000s, Mean Girls told the story of a transfer student who decides to infiltrate and sabotage the clique of popular girls at her new high school, known as the Plastics. Penned by comedian Tina Fey and helmed by Freaky Friday director Mark Waters, the film stormed to box office success, raking in around $130 million from a budget of $17 million.
Starring Lindsay Lohan as the misguided protagonist Cady Heron, the Plastics were comprised of Rachel McAdams as their infamous leader Regina George, Lacey Chabert as Gretchen Wieners, and Seyfried as Karen Smith. The somewhat clueless but loveable member of the collectively toxic group, Karen became well-loved by fans for her unexpected one-liners. Perhaps her most well-known scene occurred after being branded “stupid” by her so-called friend Regina.
Seyfried’s experience echoes that of fellow teen stars such as Millie Bobbie Brown , who recently derided the sexualization of young female actresses. Describing growing up in the spotlight as “overwhelming,” Brown said there was a notable, “gross” difference in the way she was treated in the public eye since turning 18.
The revelation of Seyfried’s treatment following her performance in Mean Girls further highlights a disheartening trend of objectification toward young actresses. Arguably made popular for its parody of high school culture and gender stereotypes, it seems particularly cruel that one of the film’s stars should fall prey to such public objectification.
