Amy Poehler ‘got in a fight’ with a man for swearing in front of THIS co-star’s baby
Don’t cross Amy Poehler!
The “Parks and Recreation” star got into a fight on a plane. Fists didn’t fly, but f-bombs probably did.

On the latest episode of Amy’s “Good Hang” podcast, guest Ana Gasteyer shared a hilarious story about shooting the iconic 2004 comedy “Mean Girls” with Poehler.
Gasteyer, who played Lindsay Lohan’s mom in the movie, confessed that Poehler’s potty mouth once got her in trouble, “I remember being on the plane with you.”

Smiling, Amy, who played June George, the mom of Regina George (Rachel McAdams) and Kylie George (Nicole Crimi), in “Mean Girls,” responded, “Yeah. We were on the plane, and I got in a fight with a guy.”
Gasteyer then said, “Yeah. You got in a fight with a guy. And baby Frances was on the plane with us. Do you remember that?”
“Your baby Frances, who is now in her 20s. She was on the plane, and I still got in a fight with the guy with the baby around?” Poehler quipped.

Gasteyer reminded her, “Yeah. I hope so. Because the guy got mad that you were swearing in front of the baby.”
After the memory clicked, Amy then recalled, “Yeah. Right. It’s a long story, but what happened was a guy, like a first-class guy – we were in first class too – he was like, ‘Excuse me, I’m trying to … you’re being too loud in first class.’ And my Boston came out.”
Ana hailed the heated argument as “The best thing I’ve ever seen.”
Besides that moment, the duo also reminisced about working together on the “Mean Girls” set, with Ana saying, “I remember hanging out with you in that hotel one night and having drinks. I remember when Tina … I have a memory of her sitting at the table on 17 and saying, ‘I think I’m going to option this book.'”

Amy agreed, “Me too. I have an image of her sitting at her computer and having the book near her, and just working on it, being like, ‘I’m writing this movie.'”
Ana added, “It’s incredible.”
