Karrueche Tran & Meghan Rienks On Empowering Young Women Through The Honor Code

Summertime usually calls for cooling off at the movies with your BFFs. In case if you've a taste for drama, you'll certainly hope to check out The Honor List starring Karrueche Tran, Meghan Rienks, Sasha Pieterse and Arden Cho. The film officially premieres in theatres tomorrow, so Sway Calloway brought Karruche and Meghan on TRL to tell us everything we need to know about it. Meghan herself was involved in writing the script for the movie, so she was thrilled to help create the strong leading woman that she plays. She further explained the necessity of this shift for coming-of-age movies in Hollywood throughout discussion with Sway, citing her aggravation with playing the usual role of a girlfriend, sidepiece or popular girl in school.


Karrueche initially broke out in the industry as a model, which comes with its own set of obstacles. Her experience with overcoming issues like body shaming and using her platform to stand up for herself was something that she was able to tap into while connecting with her character in the film. "It's most crucial to love yourself," she mentioned. "Especially with social media, there's so much misconception that we have to look or be a certain way. It's so crucial to accept ourselves for who we are."


The actresses also got their hands dirty and scrolled through some comments on Instagram to categorize them as beautiful or creepy. There's an enormous difference between being considerate and *thotful*... TRL airs on weekdays at 8:00am ET!
