On its theatrical showing in Australia, protest from feminist groups lead to the event being cancelled at the Palace Cinema complex. The Ultima Function Centre (Victoria) faced abuse and threats from feminists but refused to cancel the event hosted on their premises.
Over 100 hours of raw footage was filmed for The Red Pill before being edited down to a 2 hour film. Cassie Jaye has released much of the unused footage on her YouTube channel, calling the deleted scenes "The Red Pill: Raw Files".
In addition to directing and producing The Red Pill, Cassie Jaye also edited the entire film herself.
All production costs were financed solely by director Cassie Jaye, her boyfriend (now husband) Evan Davies, and Cassie's mother, Nena Jaye.
Cassie Jaye was dating The Red Pill's cinematographer and Executive Producer, Evan Davies, while filming The Red Pill. Shortly after the film's worldwide release, Evan Davies proposed to Cassie Jaye in May 2017 and they got married in June 2018.
"Cassie Jaye: I was a quiet kid preferring to observe from afar. My mom put me in theater class when I was eight years old to break me out of my shell and I loved it so much that I decided to move to Hollywood when I was 18 years old to become an actress. What I wasn't prepared for was to pigeon-holed as "The Blonde Who Always Died". Granted, I had a good scream, but the characters I played weren't alone in feeling objectified. I was commonly harassed on the streets, hit on by married producers, told by photographers to come back when I lost 15 pounds and got a boob job, and a plethora of other uncomfortable experiences, all while still being a teenager. I started to realize my role in the world was a little too similar to the roles I was auditioning for and it was not how I saw myself or the person I wanted to be, so I quit acting and bought a video camera to tell the stories I wanted to tell and now I've been making documentary films since 2007 when I was 21 years old."
"[first lines] Cassie Jaye: Have you ever been through something and you don't know what just happened, but you know it was important to go through? This is that journey for me."
