Is This The End of Lea Michele's Career? Actress' Apology Backfires As More Expose Her Problematic Behavior
More and more people are exposing actress Lea Michele.
It all started when the Glee star posted a tweet in support of Black Lives Matter. Soon after she was called out by actress Samantha Ware for her hypocrisy in supporting the movement. Ware, who played Jane Heyward in season six of Glee, asked Michele is she even remembered how she made Ware's life a living hell while shooting for the said series. Among the many things Michele said was that she would let Ware sit with them because she did not belong and that she would s**it on her wig given the opportunity.
And apparently, Ware was not her only victim. Soon after Ware's tweet was published, more and more people gave their reactions seeming to corroborate her claims, and these include other actors from Glee. One of them is Amber Riley, who played Mercedes in the show. While she did not post an agreement, she did post a gif of herself sipping tea. Other co-stars on Broadway, such as Gerard Canonica who worked with her on Spring Awakening, also said that Lea was really difficult to work with. Elizabeth Aldrich claimed that at the young age of 12, Michele was already mean and manipulative.
It's not just the actors too. According to Page Six, even beauty insiders know just how toxic Lea's behavior was. In one interview for L'Oreal, Michele walked out in the middle of an interview for no reason at all.
Lea had tried to apologize for her behavior but it seemed to have backfired as more co-stars in the industry are calling out her behavior. Of course, there are still some who are defending the actress, saying that she was lovely to work with. They are also saying that despite being a mean person, Lea was not racist. Her problems seem to be more about her behavior.
Now, Michele seems to have had a wake-up call after being called out. Seventeen reports that she is dealing with her behavior after seeing just how she had hurt so many people over the years. While no details have been given, it seems that Michele is trying to find a way to patch things up with the people she had hurt.
The question now is just how Michele's career will be after all this. She had already been dropped by HelloFresh after the controversy so it remains to be seen what the effects will be.
As of now, Michele is focusing on her pregnancy.
