Lea Michele is getting exposed for her allegedly racist and abusive behavior by some of her former Glee co-stars!mic
The actress tweeted in support of justice for George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement on Saturday, but was, in turn, called out for her “traumatic microagressions” on the set of the hit TV show! Castmate Samantha Ware, who played the role of Jane Hayward during the series’ final season, replied to the Twitter post on Monday though, recalling when Lea threatened to “shit in” her wig.

Ware appeared in 11 episodes of Glee, but her tweet received support from some other series regulars! Alex Newell, who portrayed Wade “Unique” Adams for three years, slid through with a reaction of his own AND went on to unfollow Michele on the social media platform:

In response to one follower who questioned why Alex would take a pic with Lea on Broadway and what happened with season 6 of the show, he clapped back:
“She was there I was being polite!! Like I was with anyone that came to see my show! Also I know youre not talking about the season I wasn’t in… until I had to ask to come back so I could pay my bills… since I was released mid season five… while being a series regular!”
Even top castmember Amber Riley got in on the thread, seemingly implying she felt some microaggressions on Lea’s part:

Twitter users following along didn’t get any tea from Amber, but she made it clear she’s got stories to tell!

More info, however, came from others who had short stints on the show, like Dabier, who shared the show’s lead wouldn’t let him sit with his fellow actors:
GIRL YOU WOULDNT LET ME SIT AT THE TABLE WITH THE OTHER CAST MEMBERS CAUSE “I DIDNT BELONG THERE” FUCK YOU LEA https://t.co/s4NoLdtqRs

Jeanté Goldlock, who worked as an extra on the show, even remembered herself and others being referred to as bugs:
“did somebody say cockroaches? because that’s what she used to refer to the background as on the set of glee. but we grow up and we don’t stay background forever sooooo…”
Yikes!!
It’s not a good look for the currently pregnant star, who has feuded with Naya Rivera in the past, especially when she claims to care about the black community! What do U think, Perezcious readers?? Maybe Lea has changed? Sound OFF (below)!
