Reneé Rapp on Blurring the Line Between Bestie and Lover

In this episode of Modern Love, Anna Martin interviews Renee Rapp, known for her role in "Mean Girls," about the complexities of friendships, particularly within the queer community. Renee discusses how friendships can be as intense and valuable as romantic relationships, drawing parallels to the themes in her music. She shares personal experiences, including a painful friend breakup and the deep intimacy she shares with her close-knit group of queer friends. The conversation revolves around the Modern Love essay "This is What Happens When Friends Fall in Love," which Renee reads, exploring the messiness, blurred boundaries, and unique dynamics that can arise in queer friendships, and the challenges of navigating changing relationships as they evolve over time.
