Lindsay Lohan has been very supportive of the new "Mean Girls" movie, after all, she was the original Cady Heron in the 2004 version, written by Tina Fey.
However, an offputting joke at her expense was the last thing she was expecting when she showed up at the premiere of the musical movie on Jan. 8.
"Lindsay was very hurt and disappointed by the reference in the film," said Lohan's rep, Leslie Sloan, noting that the actress was "surprised and taken aback" by the joke.
'Mean Girls' Joke About Lindsay Lohan
According to reports, the words "fire crotch" were thrown out by Megan Thee Stallion during the dialogue in the new "Mean Girls" movie, referencing a paparazzi video from 2006.
In the video, Brandon Davis referred to the "Parent Trap" star as a "fire crotch," resulting in the feud between Lohan and her friend Paris Hilton, who was seen laughing.
Even netizens felt weird towards the joke: "Using a sexist joke that it was first aimed at Lindsay by a weird man when she was still a minor is very weird."
"Very disrespectful to her. But I wonder if Megan even knew what this was referencing. She was 11/12 in 2006."
"That was disrespectful," another added.
Lohan made a small cameo in the new film, which was also written by Fey. The actress shows up as the moderator in the math competition scene towards the end of the movie.
