Anna Faris Reveals Cut Melania Trump Parody Scene from 'Scary Movie 6'

Anna Faris revealed in an interview with Dexerto that a scene she filmed for Scary Movie 6 — in which her character Cindy Campbell drunkenly tells herself 'Be best, Cindy Campbell. Be best' in a rearview mirror — was cut from the final film. The line was a direct reference to Melania Trump's 'Be Best' initiative, launched in 2018 to address cyberbullying, which drew criticism given President Trump's own history of online attacks. Faris said she had consistently advocated for Cindy to be portrayed as a 'classic MAGA rabbit hole' character throughout production. The sixth installment of the franchise, directed by Michael Tiddes, reunited original cast members Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Regina Hall, and Faris — who had sat out Scary Movie 5 — and opened to an estimated $54–55 million domestically in its debut weekend. The film parodies recent horror titles including Ma, M3GAN, Sinners, and Weapons, though it received a 32 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have noted the film's broad, equal-opportunity satirical approach, touching on topics ranging from race relations to immigration, though some reviewers felt it failed to fully develop its edgier premises.
