Less than a week before debuting as Fanny Brice on Broadway, Lea Michele addressed past allegations about her conduct on the set of her hit TV musical “Glee” and the fallout that has embroiled her since.
In 2020, when Michele was among the many who showed their support for the Black Lives Matter movement following the death of George Floyd, “Glee” actor Samantha Marie Ware accused the star of subjecting her to verbal abuse and “other traumatic microaggressions” on the high school musical show’s set.
Michele’s public apology ignited another firestorm as several members of the show’s original cast, along with a producer for the TV series, shared their thoughts and made their own accusations about Michele’s alleged bullying and prima donna attitude.
