What did Betty Who say about Renee Rap? Details explored as the 'Mean Girls' actress responds to comments about her sexuality

Betty Who and Mean Girls actress and singer, Renee Rap, seem to be at loggerheads. This goes back to last month when Betty appeared on the Made It Out podcast.

During the conversation, Betty touched upon the idea of queerness and the questions of identity. She said:

“I think that as much as, you know, like it's funny that Renee Rap is like, ‘You'll never catch me dating a man.’ It's like, ‘Go off, queen.’ Like, I love that for you, right? But I also hold space for her in 10 years if she goes, ‘Oops, I met the love of my life and it's this man.”

She added:

“It shouldn't be illegal for you to fall in love.”

On September 5, Cosmopolitan published an interview in which Renee Rap seemingly responded to Betty Who’s comments, saying:

“I’m used to people bringing my name into a conversation because they want to be brought up in a conversation. The hot takes are getting kind of crazy. I'm not ending up with a man. Like, let's just chill.”

Betty Who reflected on her comments in an Instagram story on August 28. She said that the kind of words which was not her best choice. She wrote that what she said in the podcast could unintentionally upset the lesbian community.

Betty called the LGBTQ+ community her home, which gave her valuable life experiences. She said she would do better.

What Renee Rap said about queerness and her music

During the Cosmopolitan interview, Renee Rap was asked if she was surprised that someone on a podcast suggested she might return to a straight relationship. She said she wasn’t surprised at all because people often target lesbians, and her name was bound to come up if someone wanted attention.

Seemingly disturbed, Rap suggested nobody should bring a man into her romantic life as she was already in a relationship with a woman, which the public is aware of. Renee Rap continued:

“So I'm not really sure what about that is so blurry. I mean, I completely understand that identifying yourself can be really difficult. There is so much pressure when it comes to labelling yourself, but I think that pressure often comes from you.”

Rapp explained that no one ever forced her to label herself, but she pressured herself to figure it out because she didn’t know who she was. She said she found it confusing when people tried to do that to others and felt they should mind their own business instead of dragging her name into the drama.

Elsewhere in the interview, Renee Rap was asked how important it was for her to invoke lesbianism in his music. She vehemently agreed, saying that it was not only limited to music, but to the cultural sphere.

However, beyond everything, it was also about her life. She mentioned that when she wrote about her sexual choices, it was also about her intimate life. According to her, every aspect of her life had the touch of queerness because she was in it.
