Reneé has been very vocal about her eating disorder struggles. “To be super-transparent, I loved doing ‘Mean Girls’ on Broadway, but I was also very sick,” Rapp told NME back in January. “I’ve struggled with an eating disorder my whole life and I had a lot of shit happen during that time. And so my biggest thing right now is trying to prepare myself to go into the filming environment with a way healthier mindset. Because I don’t want to fall back into anything.”
2. She Has Confidence Because She Is Insecure
“What my dad always told me as a kid, which stuck with me, is that the most confident person in the room is the person who also understands they are insecure. I’ve always believed in myself because I also know that I’m really, really afraid to fail,” Reneé told The Zoe Report.

You literally are who you surround yourself with, but it’s always an ongoing journey with mental health.”
