    Renee Rapp is "really uninterested" in media training

    The 25-year-old star is well-known for being outspoken in media interviews, but Renee insists that she has no intention of changing her approach


    During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Renee explained: "There's such an adjustment to - what a 'pick me' thing to say, but there's such an adjustment to having cameras on you in your conversations and in your personal life in a way. It just inherently is an adjustment.

    "I was like, I am truly just doing what I would be doing and talking how I would be talking except for being filmed or doing something or putting it out there, putting it in a song, putting it in whatever.

    "And then to like see it back is really kind of confusing because then you start to perceive yourself in a way that like other people perceive you. However, you'll never be able to see yourself how other people see you."

    Renee's team have actively encouraged her to be more careful with her words in media interviews. However, the actress has no plans to change her ways.

    She said: "I feel like people have tried [to change her].

    "They were trying to kind of coach me into, like, what to say and what not to say. And it was kind of like the second I realised it, I totally just tapped out and I was like, 'Oh, I'm really uninterested in hearing this.'"

    Meanwhile, Renee previously admitted to being "very sensitive" and "protective" of herself.

    The actress - who played Regina George in the Mean Girls Broadway musical - told InStyle: "My biggest fear is being misunderstood. I'm a very passionate person. I'm very sensitive. I am protective."

    Renee believes people often mistake her sensitive nature for her "just being a b****".

    The movie star said: "I think that sometimes people can construe that as me just being a b****.

    "I just have very big emotions and I feel very hard. It was really hard to live like that when I was a kid. It was very difficult. Living was exhausting."
