Reneé Rapp Releases Song Implying Criticism of Sex Lives of College Girls

Reneé Rapp, who played Leighton Murray on HBO Max's The Sex Lives of College Girls, appears to take a pointed jab at her former show in her new single "Leave Me Alone," with lyrics suggesting the show faltered after her departure. Rapp left the series during its third season, citing personal struggles related to her sexuality and the challenges of portraying a queer character, which mirrored her own experiences. The show was canceled shortly after her exit, fueling speculation that her departure impacted its success. "Leave Me Alone," the lead single from her forthcoming album BITE ME, also addresses broader frustrations with the industry and personal freedom, blending a defiant tone with pop influences. While Rapp has not explicitly confirmed the lyrics target the series, the public and media widely interpret them as a diss. Both Rapp and her co-stars expressed mixed emotions about her exit, highlighting the complexity of her journey both on and off screen.
