💥 BREAKING NEWS: Rachel Sennott admits she had a full panic attack at Zootopia 2 after forgetting it was a kids’ movie ⚡.CT

Rachel Sennott walked onto Jimmy Kimmel Live with the kind of energy that makes you wonder if she’s hilarious, fearless, or actively spiraling—in the best way.

Kimmel introduced her as “very funny and maybe crazy,” and within minutes, she proved he wasn’t just doing host banter. She was ready to expose herself on national TV, one disaster at a time.

The official reason for her visit: her new show “I Love LA”, which she created, writes, and produces—built around the weirdness of the city and the strange people who make it feel alive. Kimmel said he binged multiple episodes and praised the cast, calling it genuinely funny.

Sennott accepted the compliment… but immediately started carefully dodging the most dangerous question Hollywood can ask: “Is it based on your real life?”

Her answer was a masterclass in self-protection with a wink: it’s “loose,” a mix of truth and lies. If you see something awful and think, “I’d hate her if she was like that,” she wants you to know that’s not her.

But if you love it—yes, that part is her. It’s the kind of slippery honesty that makes the show feel even more tempting: viewers now want to watch just to play detective.

Then Kimmel hit the title question: does she actually love LA, or is it just a branding joke?

Sennott didn’t hesitate. She said she genuinely loves it—and she’s been here five years. But she also admitted nobody loves a new place immediately. It’s scary. It’s disorienting. And in her case, it was basically a slapstick nightmare from day one.

Her first days in Los Angeles played out like a cautionary tale you’d hear from a friend who’s laughing because the alternative is crying. She moved to North Hollywood, got a rental car, and confidently declined insurance—because, in her words, “insurance is fake.”

The detail that makes it sting? Her dad works in insurance. The universe heard her arrogance and responded instantly: she drove that shiny rented SUV straight into a pole… almost immediately.

When she returned to the rental place asking to add insurance retroactively, they hit her with the most soul-crushing customer service phrase imaginable: “It’s for before.” And that was the vibe of her early LA era—every mistake followed by a lesson you can’t unlearn.

But the story didn’t stay cute for long. Kimmel brought up actor Josh Hutcherson, who plays her boyfriend on the show. Sennott admitted something that creators rarely say out loud: she may have written a boyfriend character so charismatic that audiences are now siding with him—and turning on her.

In other words, she accidentally created the kind of fictional ex who wins the breakup in the comment section.

Sennott described the nightmare scenario: everyone’s defending “Dylan” (the boyfriend), and she’s stuck watching viewers root against “Maya” (her character), like she wrote herself into her own cancellation. She joked that she should’ve made him meaner—because when a character is charming enough, the audience starts treating the woman as the villain for not keeping him.

Then came the twist: she teased that Season 2 is going to fix that. Her solution? Make him toxic. Make him unpleasant. Give the internet fewer reasons to worship him. It was half joke, half warning shot: if you thought you were watching a cute relationship story, she’s about to turn it into something messier.

And just when the interview seemed done being chaotic, Sennott swerved into a completely different lane: Zootopia 2.

Yes, she’s involved—but not how you’d expect. She revealed she does background vocals on a song in the movie, thanks to her current boyfriend being a music producer.

She described herself as the kind of girlfriend who shows up for anything—whether it’s dancing to a pop star track or getting hyped for a children’s movie anthem. She was so excited about the song that she basically predicted kids would be “Capri Sun deep” losing their minds to it at birthday parties.

Then she confessed the moment that turned the whole story into a meme: she went to see the movie… really high… and forgot it was a children’s movie.

So there she was at a mall theater surrounded by swarms of kids waving flashing toy lights and singing along—while she spiraled into a full panic attack. At Zootopia 2. A children’s movie. With light-up wands. And one overwhelmed adult realizing she had made a terrible miscalculation.

By the end, Kimmel congratulated her, and Sennott walked off having done what she does best: promoting a show by making the audience feel like they just survived a funny, slightly unhinged confession booth.
