Someone, cry this girl a river. There are new reports that suggest actress Lea Michele is doing whatever she can to turn her wrongs into rights, but it might be a little too late in her case. The Glee alum has been accused of being a mean girl on the set of the hit Fox primetime musical with some of the nasty things she’s said and done, according to some of her co-stars. Here’s what you need to know.
It all began when Lea posted a Black Lives Matter post on social media. It didn’t take long for her former co-star Samantha Ware to call Lea out on her supposed hypocrisy. She tweeted earlier this week, “Remember when you made my first television gig a living hell?!?! Cause I’ll never forget. I believe you told everyone that if you had the opportunity you would ‘s–t in my wig!’ amongst other traumatic microaggressions that made me question a career in Hollywood.”

After Samantha called Lea out for being something many people would rhyme with ‘witch,’ plenty of other co-stars came forward with mean girl stories of their own. Apparently, the brunette beauty wasn’t very popular behind the scenes. Actor Dabiel Snell said Lea had him banished from having lunch with the rest of the cast. He told the New York Post, “I was invited to sit down with the rest of the cast members by Darren Criss, and made to feel welcome. I also knew Chris Colfer as well, so he was like, ‘Go ahead, come sit with us and chat!’ . . . Five to 10 minutes after we sat down and had a conversation, I was pulled [aside by an assistant director] and told one of the cast members did not want me to sit there, because she felt I don’t belong.”
He added, “I later found out it was [Michele] who said that. Everybody else was cool. I couldn’t tell Darren or Chris because they work with her and she has a lot of power. It felt like . . . if I said something, I probably wasn’t going to be on the show. I just zipped my mouth. I went back to my trailer and cried a bit, I won’t lie.”
Well now, either Lea is desperately wanting to make amends or desperately worried about her career seeing how she’s been outted in the worst way possible. “She’s had a real wake-up call,” a Michele friend told The Post. “It’s never easy to hear people speak about you this way. It’s a total shock.”
The tipster added “Lea was a bitch to a lot of people who are now taking the opportunity to come forward. She may not be the nicest person, but she’s not racist, sexist or transphobic. I would say she has behavioral issues that she’s dealing with. She is listening, she hears what everyone says and wants to apologize. This is her past and she wants to handle things responsibly.”
