Megan Thee Stallion recently replaced Lindsay Lohan as the face of Planet Fitness in the chain’s new campaign, which saw her criticized by Lohan’s father on social media.

“If i was you, i’d put my energy into worrying about mugshots coming up when my name is googled, and my daughter’s career being in the gutter for over a decade. being bitter towards megan doesn’t change the fact that she is who nike and planet fitness want for a brand ambassador,” one wrote.
Another said: “Worry about yourself. The first things that pop up on Google when searching your name are your mugshots, offences & arrests.”
Michael Lohan was also upset at the “fire crotch” reference made in the reboot of his daughter’s blockbuster hit, Mean Girls.
The term was originally used to diss his daughter by oil kingpin Brandon Davis in 2006 while partying with Paris Hilton.

“Boycott Mean Girls 2! For the totally classless comment. Not suited for children. What a horrible adaptation of a wonderful film,” he wrote of the musical film before going to compare first week box offices showing how much more lucrative the 2004 original was.
“The ORIGINAL Mean Girls opening weekend box office vs the NEW one. Need I say more,” he added.
In addition to contributing to the soundtrack, Megan also starred in the Mean Girls reboot and was the one to deliver the “fire crotch” line when she said: “Y2K fire crotch is back!”
The line reportedly left Lohan caught off-guard as well as “hurt and disappointed.”
