Is renne rapp gay

“I don’t know what they do.” 

Though her fan base doesn’t have an official name, their devotion has reached an almost feral level.

“I thought you had to be in a miserable relationship to make a good album,” she says. "Did you not just fucking hear me? God for fucking bid!

"I’ve had enough of you witches."

In February, Rapp discussed her sexuality in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. I also didn’t want to be like, ‘OK, I’m ‘gay’ and have all the lesbians be like, ‘Say you’re bisexual, then.’ I felt so wrapped up and scared.”

However, “gay” still didn’t feel right.

The former Sex Lives of College Girls star took to Instagram Live to vent her frustrations regarding some of the backlash she's received.

"Did you not fucking hear me when I just said I'm a lesbian? Everybody grows up in a different way. Fuck you!"

"I'm glad that you felt comfortable in your sexuality your entire life.

“Because when I was with men, it wasn’t like I just wasn’t gay at that point. I grew up in the South, where you don't do that."

Reneé then admitted that she felt like she "had to be bisexual" because it was more digestible and acceptable for others if she still assumed a "closeness" to heterosexuality and men.

"I felt like for so long I had to be bisexual because I had to assume closeness to a sexuality that could lead to being with a man," she continued.

Rapp sat down for a recent interview with Them, where she opened up about accepting her identity as a lesbian. I get it, this is our identity, right? “Everything I make is gay.” The stories behind the album draw from the last six years of her life, a period of clarity and self-discovery.

You got to."

Honestly, good for her. "So then I started posting with this person, and then it became a whole thing. “And even then, it’s pretty scarce.”

Rapp discovered her love of performing as a child in Charlotte, NC. Her first major splash was on Broadway in 2019 when she starred as Regina George in the “Mean Girls” musical, a role she reprised for last year’s musical film adaptation.

In an interview with Them, she revealed the script originally said "little bisexual intern," but she asked the writers to make the change, despite being nervous about how viewers would react.

But that same fear Reneé had about people responding negatively to her lesbian identity back in 2024 became a reality in 2025.

“It’s so animalistic,” she explains, referring to the barking trend. If you're gay, sometimes you find your people later on in your life, and you grow into yourself. Her therapy session was earlier that morning, but she still arrives upbeat, friendly and gregarious.

That unfiltered, unapologetic directness is a quality that’s earned her a fiercely loyal following, and it’s on full display on her sophomore album “Bite Me” (out today), a record that dives deep into emotional vulnerability and queer love, specifically love between women.

Don't fucking play in my face about that."

Reneé went on to reveal that when she has kids, she won't tolerate anyone being an "asshole" to her children if they were figuring out their sexuality as well. Taking a stab at something bad that’s happened to me.” She confirms that she left the show of her own accord, but declines to get specific.

I'm so glad.
