Lea Michele is laughing off the conspiracy theory that she’s secretly illiterate.
The bizarre rumor took off this week after superfans Jaye Hunt and Robert Ackerman filmed a Facebook Live video dispensing hard evidence that the Glee alum never learned how to read because she was too busy “being famous.”
Complete with a powerpoint presentation, the fans explained that Lea only had “to learn, like, four words” for her role in Ragtime, and later “fully memorized” her part for Spring Awakening.

By the time she starred on Glee, they postulated, Ryan Murphy kept Miz Michele’s illiteracy secret and helped her learn all of her lines.
As for what sparked this crackpot theory? The fact that the 31-year-old has never responded to the shady shit written about her in Naya Rivera‘s memoir! Ha!
The diva took to Twitter on Thursday to set the record straight by responding directly to a fan (which takes skill in reading AND writing), sharing:
Loved READING this tweet and wanted to WRITE you back😛 literally laughing out loud at all this😂 love you!!! 😘❤️ https://t.co/YMHj4LCZaf

Watch the wackadoo video (below) that spawned the crazy theory!
