Amanda Seyfried says Paramount still owes her money for 'Mean Girls'

Amanda Seyfried says she has never been paid for merchandise featuring her likeness from 2004 'Mean Girls' film

Amanda Seyfried has claimed that Paramount still owes her money for merchandise featuring her likeness from the 2004 comedy Mean Girls.

The actress made the comments during Variety's Actor on Actors conversation with Adam Brody, where the pair discussed their careers and the enduring popularity of the teen comedy.

When Brody asked whether she had rewatched Mean Girls, Seyfried replied that she had not.

"No, I haven't," she said. "It's on often enough, though. And you know what? I love it. I really love seeing my face on people's T-shirts."

She then revealed what she described as an ongoing issue regarding merchandise connected to the film.

"I mean, I'm a little resentful because Paramount still owes me some money," the actress said.

When Brody asked whether she was referring to revenue from T-shirts, Seyfried clarified that she meant merchandise using her image.

"The likeness. Every store sells Mean Girls T-shirts with our faces on, photographs. And I'm like, don't I? Is it 'cause I was 17 and dumb or is it just that, you know what I mean?"

Seyfried did not elaborate on whether she was referring to unpaid compensation or to the terms of the contract she signed when she appeared in the film.

She was around 17 years old when she starred in Mean Girls alongside Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams and Lacey Chabert.

Despite her comments about the merchandise, Seyfried said she still has a strong affection for the film.

"But I love it," she said, acknowledging its continued popularity more than two decades after its release.
