Renee Rapp turned to drugs when she was in high school<\/p>\n
\nThe 23-year-old star was “always performing” as a child but started to struggle with her grades in school as a teenager and eventually became a “really unhappy” person.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “From the moment I had thoughts, I was like, \u2018I wanna be Beyonc\u00e9. My dad kicked me out of the house once. But then when I actually left the house, he was like, \u2018Where the f*** are you going?\u2019 It was very confusing. I was always on stage and my parents turned everything into a performance opportunity. At my great-grandmother\u2019s funeral, she was literally being sunk into the ground as I was singing \u2018Amazing Grace\u2019, because I was like: \u2018How can I make this about me? My grades started to get really bad, \u201cAnd I started to just\u2026 honestly, I started to do drugs in North Carolina. I was like, \u2018Whatever, f***it.\u2019 And I started to become a really unhappy person.”<\/p>\n
\nRenee then decided to enter the National High School Musical Theatre Awards – which are more commonly known as the Jimmy Awards – after a girl at her school had done the same all in an attempt to gain an agent after choosing not to go to college and after winning the competition landed the lead role of Regina George in Broadway musical ‘Mean Girls.’<\/p>\n
\nRenee – who is also set to star in the big screen adaptation of the movie musical based on the 2004 cult hit – told NME: “I told my parents I was going to do exactly what that girl did, and I did it. I knew those f****** were watching us every day in rehearsals, so there are videos of me on the internet with dagger eyes. \u201cMy friends mock me now, but I\u2019m like, \u2018Guys, I really did not want to go to college. I had to win so I could be seen by agents.’<\/p>\n
\n“To be super-transparent, I loved doing Mean Girls on Broadway, but I was also very sick. I\u2019ve struggled with an eating disorder my whole life and I had a lot of s*** happen during that time. And so my biggest thing right now is trying to prepare myself to go into the filming environment with a way healthier mindset. Because I don\u2019t want to fall back into anything.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
