Reneé Rapp has had enough.

On Monday, the Mean Girls star posted a forceful message on X, formerly known as Twitter, to anyone who continues to question her sexuality.

"If I say I’m a lesbian I am a lesbian and if someone says they’re bi they are bi," Rapp wrote. "I’ve had enough of you witches."

In February, Rapp discussed her sexuality in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“I’ve only recently started referring to myself as a lesbian, and I’ve only recently been in a relationship where I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m a lesbian for sure,'” the singer and actress said at the time. “I’m watching all these movies and parts of gay culture, specifically lesbian culture, and I’m like: ‘I love this.'”

In a previous interview with People, Rapp said she sees "so much about her love life online" and, unfortunately, some of that content "really, really f****** hurts my feelings."

"It's definitely something that I struggle with and that will keep me up at night, and also something that I can laugh at some days," she continued. "It just really depends. A lot of the things though are f****** crazy and hilarious and also very hurtful."

The actress went on to say in the same interview that she "swore up and down" that she would "never be in a public relationship."

"Then I just found someone who I really loved and made me feel really safe and comfortable," she added at the time. "So then I started posting with this person, and then it became a whole thing. Now I'm like, f***, I have to deal with the consequences of my own actions of publicly co-signing someone as my partner."

In March, Rapp walked the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars Party red carpet with her girlfriend, Towa Bird—a musician and one of the supporting acts performing on Rapp's Snow Hard Feelings Tour.

In a recent interview with Euphoria Magazine, Rapp described Bird as "so authentically herself" and said that she has learned "so much" from her girlfriend while the pair are on tour.

Rapp was previously romantically linked to TikTok influencer Alissa Carrington. The pair reportedly dated for nearly a year, according to People, before confirming their split in February.
