Rene Rapp “started taking drugs” in high school.
The 23-year-old star was “always active” as a child, but began struggling with her grades in school as a teenager, eventually becoming a “really unhappy” person.
she said: * Are you going? ‘ It was so confusing. I was always on stage and my parents turned everything into a performance opportunity. “Then… I started doing drugs in North Carolina, to be honest. I was like, ‘Anything goes.'” And I started being a really unhappy person. “
Lenny then decided to enter the National High School Musical Theater Awards (more commonly known as the Jimmy Awards). After a girl at her school did all the same to get her agent after choosing not to go to college. Her winning the competition landed her playing the lead role of Regina Her George on Broadway in her musical Mean Girls.
Renee, who will also star in the big-screen adaptation of the musical film based on the 2004 cult hit, told NME: Those bastards watched us at rehearsals every day, so there are videos of me on the internet with dagger eyes. In order to go to college, I had to win to be seen by my agent.
“I loved playing ‘Mean Girls’ on Broadway to be more transparent, but I was also very sick. I’ve struggled with an eating disorder my whole life, so I’ve had a lot of s*** in the meantime.” The biggest thing for me now is to prepare to enter the filming environment with a healthier mindset, because I don’t want to go back to anything.
