Lea Michele Accuseded By Ex-Glee Cast Member Of Bullying And Racism On Set

An unexpected, wild celebrity drama erupted last night when Samantha Marie Ware, an actress who had appeared in 11 episodes of the musical TV show Glee in 2015, accused the former star of the show Lea Michele of making her life "a living hell" on set, including threatening to "Shit in her wig."

The drama kicked off when Michele tweeted in support of Black Lives Matter following the Death of George Floyd. While the tweet itself was innocuous, Samantha Marie Ware quote-tweeted it with quite the bomb, tweeting an all-caps screed accusing Michele of "traumatic microaggressions" that made her "question a career in Hollywood."

LMAO REMEMBER WHEN YOU MADE MY FIRST TELEVISON 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… https://t.co/RkcaMBmtDA

The tweet seemed to get the endorsement of other former black Glee castmates, including Alex Newell, Amber Riley, and Dabier Snell, who added, "GIRL YOU WOULDNT LET ME SIT AT THE TABLE WITH THE OTHER CAST MEMBERS CAUSE “I DIDNT BELONG THERE” FUCK YOU LEA."

Michele has not responded to the allegations yet. She has garnered a reputation among followers of the show's behind-the-scenes drama as being difficult to work with. Naya Rivera, who played Santana Lopez, wrote in her book Sorry Not Sorry that Michele didn't speak to her for all of Season 6.
