Reneé Rapp opened up about being on Mindy Kaling's HBO Max show, 'The Sex Lives of College Girls,' and joked her character, Leighton, is a 'mess.'

In November, the 21-year-old made her TV debut as Leighton Murray in Mindy Kaling's HBO Max series"The Sex Lives of College Girls," in which she plays a queer student who is starting to come to terms with her sexuality. Rapp, who identifies as queer, told TODAY that she was overjoyed to be considered for the role, especially since she gets to play such a complex character.

Unlike the other girls in the show, Rapp knew that her fans would despise Leighton, especially since she reminded them of North Shore High School's queen bee Regina George, whom she played on Broadway in 2019. "You see her trying. I think the thing that sucks is that she kind of self sabotages a lot and I think that comes at other people's expenses, which is really shady. But you start to see her cracks and crevices, which I think is really beneficial as a viewer to see that she's got a little human in her. It's just a matter of if she's willing to make the decision to be a good human," Rapp said.
