Anna Faris says a Melania Trump-related joke was removed from “Scary Movie 6.” In interviews reported by Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, Faris explains that she advocated for her character, Cindy, to deliver a “Melania Trump” takedown that would have played into a political riff. She describes her push as keeping Cindy “classic MAGA” and refers to the direction as a “rabbit hole,” according to the coverage.
Both outlets report Faris’ account that her overt political material did not make it into the final film. Variety also places her comments alongside the franchise’s recent commercial performance, noting that “Scary Movie 6” opened at the box office with a $54 million debut. The Hollywood Reporter focuses more narrowly on the specific joke being cut.
Taken together, the reports attribute the omission to creative editing decisions, while describing Faris’ stated intention to include a Melania Trump takedown through her character’s comedic lines. The sources do not indicate who made the final decision or provide details on what replaced the removed segment.
