I was so hurt by it. I was like, \u2018Mandy\u2019s a mean girl!\u2019 I didn\u2019t know what to make of it, but I did crash that party, man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Christy was actually meant to audition for the leading role of Mia in the beloved film but her Even Stevens commitments meant she wasn&#8217;t available.<\/p>\n<p>\nBack in 2021, she said on her YouTube channel: &#8220;It is almost time for me to leave to go get ready for the audition, and I get called in by the producers and they say, &#8216;Christy, we don&#8217;t have time for you to go to the audition today&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;At the time, you couldn&#8217;t just put yourself on tape\u2026 so if you didn&#8217;t show up for the audition, chances are you weren&#8217;t gonna get an opportunity. And this was a big one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nChristy admitted she missed out on a &#8220;big chance&#8221; by not making the audition, and it was one she wanted to do &#8220;so badly&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know why, but I just knew it could be a big deal for me. I didn&#8217;t get that audition.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I didn&#8217;t get to go because we had to film overtime or something like that. So, sadly, I never got my shot at that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nShe believes it &#8220;would have made [her] career&#8221; if she landed the role, with the movie spawning a 2004 sequel &#8211; plus a third in the pipeline &#8211; and transforming Anne Hathaway into a Hollywood megastar.<\/p>\n<p>\nChristy said: &#8220;[That] isn&#8217;t to say that [Hathaway] wasn&#8217;t the right person for the role. She&#8217;s amazing. She was so cute in it, and so charming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/christy-carlson-romano-claims-mandy-moore-real-life-mean-girl-showbiz-party-1451808.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8 October 2026 Christy Carlson Romano has accused Mandy Moore of being a &#8220;mean girl&#8221; at a wrap party for The Princess Diaries.
