Okay but like WHY is no one talking about the toxic men in Tell Me Lies? Spoiler: They’re everywhere. And Cat Missal, the star of the show, is like, “I’m gay, thank God.” Yeah, she’s not just saying that to be edgy—she’s literally safe from the drama. Hulu’s drama series just ended its third season, and let’s be real, it’s been a rollercoaster of manipulation, betrayal, and emotional chaos. Missal, 26, says she’s only watched bits and pieces of the show, but she’s processing the trauma of it all. “Oh my God, and this happens and this happens,” she says, channeling Bree’s (her character) spiral. But here’s the thing: Missal hasn’t lived Bree’s life. Bree’s mom had her at 14, she grew up in foster care, and now she’s stuck in a web of toxic relationships. Missal, though, sees some of herself in Bree’s journey—like the feeling of rediscovering who you are as an adult. “It’s that feeling of like, ‘Wait, how did I get here?’” she says. “I definitely had that with acting.”
Missal’s path to fame started early. She’s the fifth of six kids in her family, and her sisters are all in entertainment—musicians, influencers, actors. Her mom put her in a community theater show at age five, and a manager saw her perform. “My parents were like, ‘Not yet,’” Missal recalls. But she kept doing theater, even landing roles on Broadway in Mary Poppins and A Tale of Two Cities. Now she’s like, “Acting was so fun, but also kinda weird.” It’s like the show’s theme: growing up while being manipulated by people who don’t care.
Post-Tell Me Lies, Missal’s goals? She wants a job with “some grit,” maybe a sci-fi project (Alien is her jam), and more music. She even contributed two songs to the soundtrack, including a haunting Mr. Brightside cover. But the real takeaway? The show’s heart is in Bree and Lucy’s friendship—built on lies, but still real. Missal says, “Friendship can stand the test of anything. Even if you’ve done toxic things to each other, you can still love someone genuinely.” And if you’re wondering how she met her partner, Jess? It was a drag show in West Hollywood, and her sisters were there. “It just felt kismet,” she says.
So what’s your take? Did Bree and Lucy’s friendship survive the chaos? Or did the toxic men win? 🤔
