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.
