Tina Fey Has 5 Scathing Words For Critics Of New 'Mean Girls' Movie

The comedian had a fiery quip for people who trashed the musical on social media.

Tina Fey has a blunt message for social media users who have taken issue with some details from her new Mean Girls movie. 

During an appearance on Wednesdays episode of the La Culturistas podcast hosted by Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, Fey addressed fans of the Mean Girls franchise during a segment of the show where guests and hosts say, I dont think so honey, before firing off their strong opinions on various topics. 

Fey used the opportunity to call out TikTok users who have complained about some of the changes that were made to the new film, calling them Little Broadway cunts on TikTok.

I dont think so honey, little Broadway cunts on TikTok complaining about two lines of Revenge Party, when I bring you fucking Rene Rapp, I bring you Aulii Cravalho, Jaquel Spivey, this is why we cant have nice things, she quipped, naming cast members in the film while sparking laughs from Yang and Rogers.

The new Mean Girls musical, which hit theaters last month, is a movie adaptation of a Broadway musical that was based on the original 2004 classic film, Mean Girls.

Fey, the writer-producer of the new movie, was referencing TikTok users who expressed their dismay that some of the lyrics from the songs in the Broadway musical had been tweaked for the new film .

Some viewers had complained about the movies version of song Revenge Party, while other called out minor changes in lyrics for song , Sexy.

But Fey, who reprised her role in the film as teacher Ms. Norbury, is clearly unbothered by the criticism.

The Date Night actor told People magazine last month that she and co-star Tim Meadows both agreed to reprise their roles in the new film under one condition. 

She said that she and Meadows, who returned as Principal Duvall, both said they would not be breaking out into song.

So I called Tim and I was like, Will you do it? Ill do it if you do it. And we said yes, as long as we dont have to sing, she said.
