Anna Faris says Melania Trump joke cut from Scary Movie 6

Actress Anna Faris has revealed that a joke referencing former First Lady Melania Trump was cut from the recently released comedy "Scary Movie 6." In an interview, Faris explained she portrayed her returning character, Cindy Campbell, as a "classic MAGA" stereotype, which included a scene where a drunken Cindy looks into a truck's rearview mirror and tells herself, "Be best, Cindy Campbell. Be best." The line was a direct nod to Melania Trump's 2018 "Be Best" campaign against cyberbullying.

Faris, who is reprising her role as the franchise's final girl for the first time since 2006, suggested the joke was part of her vision to make Cindy a politically charged caricature. She described the character as the type of person seen "outside of the Walmart during quarantine, that was raising some kind of crazy ass fuss." While the specific joke did not appear in the final theatrical cut, Faris expressed no regrets, noting the film's intentionally offensive nature liberates her as a performer. She stated that being in what she called "the most offensive movie ever made" allows her to feel she can "kind of do anything."
