Renee Rapp's Experience Being Drugged Inspired 'Snow Angel'

Renee Rapp is opening up about a traumatic experience that inspired some of her new music.

During an appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, the 23-year-old Sex Lives of College Girls star revealed that in 2022, some sketchy friends didn’t look out for her. She ended up getting drugged and hurt in a club as a result.

The powerhouse singer revealed which song on her debut album, Snow Angel, is about that devastating time.

“I really let my judgment go when it came to the people that were around me,” Renee reflected. “We were all out, and it was just situation after situation where they were just not trustworthy, and then the next thing you knew, I was face up, laying down in a bathroom stall in a hotel bar, just waking up at 5 in the morning, completely alone.”

She recalled to Jay, “I had blood on my pants, and I was just so caught off guard…I was completely alone in a bathroom stall and I looked down at my phone and it was 5 in the morning, and I was like, ‘What happened?!’ I had missed two texts from two people I was with from 10 p.m. the night before.”

“I was drugged and I had just been missing for seven hours,” Renee shared. “I stopped being friends with those people and stopped doing as much partying as I was doing. I told my parents, told some of my friends. I explained it in a very matter-of-fact way, and they were all very concerned and I didn’t even understand what was happening.”

This personal story ultimately led to her emotional and powerful ballad, “Snow Angel,” which she worked on with writer, artist, and producer, Alexander 23.

“We started writing it, and it was just the two of us,” the actress and singer said on the podcast. “And the entire time I was writing it, I felt nothing. Until we recorded the song and the whole thing was done and I played it for my friends and my manager and everybody was like, ‘This is insane.’ But for me, that whole year of my life was inherent resilience.”

She emphasized, “I still don’t know how I feel about it. I just know that I feel weird and very resilient.”

Renee also recently opened up about what it was like to star in the Broadway musical Mean Girls and have people in production say “vile” things about her body.
