On Monday, Lea Michele’s Glee co-star Samantha Marie Ware called out Rachel Berry for making her life ‘a living hell’ on the musical dramedy. After Ware sent out the tweet, several co-stars including Alex Newell and Amber Riley confirmed that Michele made their lives hell too.
This morning, after losing a sponsorship deal with HelloFresh, Michele wrote a length apology:
One of the most important lessons of the last few weeks is that we need to take the time to listen and learn about other people’s perspectives and any role we have played or anything we can do to help address the injustices that they face. When I tweeted the other day, it was meant to be a show of support for our friends and neighbors and communities of color during this really difficult time, but the responses I received to what I posted have made me also focus specifically on how my own behavior towards fellow cast members was perceived by them.
While I don’t remember ever making this specific statement and I have never judged others by their background or color of their skin, that’s not really the point, what matters is that I clearly acted in ways which hurt other people. Whether it was my privileged position and perspective that caused me to be perceived as insensitive or inappropriate at times or whether it was just my immaturity and me just being unnecessarily difficult, I apologize for my behavior and for any pain which I have caused. We all can grow and change and I have definitely used these past several months to reflect on my own shortcomings.
I am a couple of months from becoming a mother and I know I need to keep working to better myself and take responsibility for my actions, so that I can be a real role model for my child and so I can pass along my lessons and mistakes, so that they can learn from me. I listened to these criticisms and I am learning and while I am very sorry, I will be better in the future from this experience.
Do you believe she has changed or these are just words to save her career?
Back in 2015, Samantha Marie Ware got her dream job, a role on Glee. However, yesterday, she revealed that Lea Michele turned it into a nightmare.
Ware responded to a tweet of Michele’s about George Floyd with, “LMAO REMEMBER WHEN YOU MADE MY FIRST TELEVISION GIG A LIVING HELL?!?! CAUSE ILL NEVER FORGET. I BELIEVE YOU TOLD EVERYONE THAT IF TOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY YOU WOULD ‘SHIT IN MY WIG!’ AMONGST OTHER TRAUMATIC MICROAGRESSIONS THAT MADE ME QUESTION A CAREER IN HOLLYWOOD…”
Both Alex Newell and Amber Riley responded with GIFs confirming that their co-star was as unlikable as her character. In fact, Riley’s GIF was of her drinking tea. I can’t wait for her to spill it.
Are you surprised by this revelation about Michele or you already knew it?
Earlier in the week, there were reports that Lea Michele and her husband, Zandy Reich, are expecting their first child together. Today, the Glee star shared a photo of her growing baby bump.
She did not say how far along she is, but I am guessing she is midway through her second trimester.
The Reiches celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary in March.
Back in 2015, during the series finale of Glee, we found out that Rachel Berry is pregnant in 2020. Now that we are in 2020, Lea Michele and her husband, Zandy Reich, are expecting their first child later this year according to People.
Michele and Reich celebrated their first anniversary in March and will be parents by their second one.
While the actress has yet to confirm the news, I am sure once she does, she won’t stop singing about it.
Way before Josh Gad worked with Idina Menzel in Frozen, he became obsessed with the actress after seeing her in Rent and then Wicked. So much so, he demonstrated his best impression of her on The Late Late Show yesterday for James Corden and Perfect Harmony’s Anna Camp.
The snowman was defying something with his take on his co-star, but it was not gravity. I think he needs to let it go because there are only two Idina Menzels in the world. One is the Broadway actress and the other one is Lea Michele.
