After posting a tweet in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, former Glee star Lea Michele was accused of racist and bullying behavior on set by several of her black former colleagues, including a claim that she once threatened to defecate in a co-star’s wig.
“George Floyd did not deserve this. This was not an isolated incident and it must end. #BlackLivesMatter,” Michele tweeted on Friday, referring to the recent death of George Floyd, a black man whose brutal assault by a Minneapolis police officer was captured on video and led to protests around the country.
On Monday, Michele’s former Glee co-star Samantha Marie Ware retweeted Michele’s post, writing that while she was on set for Glee — Ware’s first job in television — Michele made her life “a living hell” and told their co-workers that, if she ever got the opportunity, she would shit in Ware’s wig, “AMONGST OTHER TRAUMATIC MICROAGRESSIONS THAT MADE ME QUESTION A CAREER IN HOLLYWOOD.”
As the Daily Beast notes, other black actors soon joined in to share their experiences of being bullied by Michele. “GIRL YOU WOULDNT LET ME SIT AT THE TABLE WITH THE OTHER CAST MEMBERS CAUSE ‘I DIDNT BELONG THERE’” tweeted Dabier Snell, who appeared in a 2014 episode of Glee. “FUCK YOU LEA.”
Michele has yet to comment on the claims.
On Tuesday, the meal-kit company HelloFresh said in a tweet that it was terminating its partnership with Michele, who last posted an ad for the company on her Instagram two weeks ago.
“HelloFresh does not condone racism nor discrimination of any kind,” the company wrote in response to a tweet calling for them to cut ties with Michele. “We are disheartened and disappointed to learn of the recent claims concerning Lea Michele. We take this very seriously, and have ended our partnership with Lea Michele, effective immediately.”

Dear Lord,
Thank you for causing the inevitable downfall of those in the Kingdom of Ryan Murphy. That faggot keeps getting put on a pedestal as the patron saint of women and minorities (no really he has a charity dedicated to that) despite being a racist himself.
What's fucking hysterical about this is absolutely nobody is defending her.
