A line from the "Mean Girls" 2024 remake has been removed from new digital streaming versions of the movie after Lindsay Lohan took offense to it.

The musical adaptation of Tina Fey's 2004 teen comedy, which grossed over $130 million worldwide, became available to rent and buy on digital platforms last week.

The film is full of nods to the original film, including a cameo from Lohan.

It also features a joke referencing a crude comment made about Lohan by socialite Brandon Davis.

As Business Insider previously reported, in the theatrical version "Mean Girls," Megan Thee Stallion — playing herself — appears in a social media montage.

"Hot girls, we are going back red. Y2K fire crotch is back," the rapper says, seemingly referencing Davis' comment.

Davis made the dig at Lohan in a paparazzi video with Paris Hilton in 2006.

Davis later apologized, saying that he was "horrified" by his remarks, E! News reported, citing Page Six.

Lohan was seemingly blindsided by the inclusion of the line in the film, with a representative for the actor telling BI in a statement shortly after the movie debuted: "Lindsay was very hurt and disappointed by the reference in the film."

The updated version shows Stallion simply saying: "Hot girls, we are going back red" in the scene, per USA Today and The Hollywood Reporter.

Representatives for Lohan, Fey, Stallion, and Paramount did not immediately respond to requests for comment from BI.

Lohan's cameo in the film came as a surprise to audiences.

She appears as the moderator for the Mathletes competition in the film, earning around $500,000 for half a day's work, Variety reported.
