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.
