For those who need a quick reminder, Chrissy was accused of cyberbullying Courtney, who uses they/them pronouns, when they were 16 years old. Back in 2021, Courtney told the Daily Beast of Chrissy: “She wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a dirt nap,’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself. Things like, ‘I can’t wait for you to die.’”Before long, Chrissy’s since-deleted tweets were unearthed by internet users, prompting the mom-of-four to issue a public apology. “I’m mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention seeking troll. I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior but that is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel,” she said at the time.
Renee Rapp Disses The Sex Lives Of College Girls
Obviously, you know Reneé Rapp. (You are, after all, a BuzzFeed reader.)
You’re also probably more than aware that she left the HBO Max show The Sex Lives of College Girls ahead of its third and final season — and that she didn’t exactly love her time on the show.
Back in 2023, she told Call Her Daddy that filming the show’s first season was “terrible” as she was coming out as bisexual. “I’m on a show [where] there are a lot of men around,” she recalled. “There are a lot of gay men around. There are a lot of straight men around. There are a lot of older men around me on set. So I’m going through set, doing these scenes, and I’m also having gay men come up to me and be like, ‘So are you, like, really gay?’ I was like, ‘Ugh!’ … It really fucking pissed me off, and it made me second-guess everything about myself.”
The following year, she told Vanity Fair that “The people in my life that I work with now care about me as a person, and I think that is a difference from things I’ve experienced in the past” — a seeming allusion to her time on The Sex Lives of College Girls.
You are also most likely aware that Reneé has a fairly successful music career. Her new album, Bite Me, comes out Aug. 1 — and the first single “Leave Me Alone” just dropped, like, a few hours ago.
Let’s take a look at some of the lyrics for a moment. Here we go: “Sign a hundred NDAs but I still say something / Leave me alone, bitch, I wanna have fun / I took my sex life with me, now the show ain’t fucking.”
Hmm. HMM! Hm. Do we think that is a direct reference to The Sex Lives of College Girls? Probably, possibly, and maybe definitely — especially since you consider that the show was recently canceled after the third season and has since failed to find a new home.
Given that Reneé is notoriously outspoken (and, to be clear, adored for it), I’m certain we’ll be getting the full story sooner or later.
Funny story lol, that’s my baby sister in the window of my mom’s minivan 😅 Only way I could go to my teen actor friends’ club bday parties was if my mom drove me… and waited outside the whole time.No after-parties for me… she was parked out front, ready to take me HOME! 😂 pic.twitter.com/Wdp1e2HetO— Tatyana Ali (@TatyanaAli) May 21, 2025

, posted 19 hours ago / 1,270 ViewsNintendo has posted a new Ask the Developer interview with Mario Kart World developers that reveals new details on the upcoming kart racer.
The game started development in 2017 and was originally a Nintendo Switch 1 game.
“We were thinking about what to do for the next Mario Kart game even during the development of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and we began prototyping in March 2017,” said Mario Kart World producer Kosuke Yabuki. “It was at the end of that year when we officially started work on it as a project.
“I felt that in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, we were able to perfect the formula that we’d been following in the series up to that point, where players race on individual courses. That’s why, this time, we wanted the gameplay to involve players driving around a large world, and we began creating a world map like this.”
Mario Kart World programming director Kenta Sato stated, “At the time, we were developing Mario Kart World for Nintendo Switch, and we were analyzing from a calm and collected programming perspective whether it would be possible to accommodate 24 players.
“In game development, you first finish making all the different elements and then optimize them to run on the system. But when trying to accommodate 24 players, we had to make all kinds of processing optimizations right from the start as we were making it.”
Sato added, “When we were developing for the Nintendo Switch system, it was difficult for us to incorporate everything we wanted, so we were always conscious of what we were giving up in return. We discussed things like toning down the visuals, lowering the resolution, and we even considered dropping the frame rate to 30 fps in some cases. It was a tough situation.”
Mario Kart World will launch alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5.
