Mean Girls star Amanda Seyfried says she was grossed out by the response to her weather report scene. Rising to pop culture fame in the early 2000s, Mean Girls told the story of a transfer student who decides to infiltrate and sabotage the clique of popular girls at her new high school, known as the Plastics. Penned by comedian Tina Fey and helmed by Freaky Friday director Mark Waters, the film stormed to box office success, raking in around $130 million from a budget of $17 million.
Starring Lindsay Lohan as the misguided protagonist Cady Heron, the Plastics were comprised of Rachel McAdams as their infamous leader Regina George, Lacey Chabert as Gretchen Wieners, and Seyfried as Karen Smith. The somewhat clueless but loveable member of the collectively toxic group, Karen became well-loved by fans for her unexpected one-liners. Perhaps her most well-known scene occurred after being branded “stupid” by her so-called friend Regina. Attempting to comfort her, Cady encourages her to share some of her talents, to which Karen replies that, other than the ability to put her whole first in her mouth, her breasts could predict when it was about to rain. “Well,” she quickly amended. “They can tell when it’s raining.” Later, after becoming the school’s weather reporter, Karen appears to reference her breasts before predicting that there was a 30% chance it was already raining.
