The Mean Girls star has spoken about how she relates to her character Leighton in The Sex Lives of College Girls because she also came out as queer to her friends when she was younger.

Speaking to Vulture in 2021 she said: “Truly, though, so much of Leighton is me, and so much of Leighton has helped me understand myself. I don’t think that I had an amazing relationship to my queerness, but through playing Leighton, I feel like I’m being much more openly queer, because it is a public part of who I am, and I’m very proud of that.”
