Lea Michele
Whew, this one is a doozy. It all started when the star took to Twitter to address the horrendous death of George Floyd and declare that #BlackLivesMatter. Then, her Glee co-star Samantha Ware retweeted her and added her own message:
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...
Ware was quickly backed up by other actors who have worked with Michele, including Alex Newell, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Heather Morris, who said, "Was she unpleasant to work with? Very much so; for Lea to treat others with the disrespect that she did for as long as she did, I believe she should be called out."
After she was dropped from a brand partnership with HelloFresh as a result of the accusations, Michele posted a vague apology statement on Instagram.
