AceShowbiz - Lea Michele was a beloved actress best known for her TV role on "Glee" before she faced bullying allegations. In June 2020, Samantha Marie Ware claimed the Rachel Berry depicter bullied her and caused "traumatic microaggressions" while they worked together on the FOX musical drama series. Her other co-stars, including Heather Morris, Alex Newell and Amber Riley, later spoke up against Lea, alleging that she had been hostile and rude to others on set and had had a prima donna attitude.
The "Scream Queens" alum responded with an apology, noting that those accusations made her aware that her general treatment of all cast members during those years was "insensitive or inappropriate," a sign of "immaturity." For roughly two years, the 36-year-old was laying low, before she made her Broadway return in "Funny Girl", replacing Beanie Feldstein. Her performance was widely praised by critics as she received multiple standing ovations on opening night.
