Lea Michele Accused By Ex-Glee Cast Member Of Bullying On Set
An unexpected, wild celebrity drama erupted last night when Samantha Marie Ware, an actress who had appeared in 11 episodes of the musical TV show Glee in 2015, accused the former star of the show Lea Michele of making her life "a living hell" on set, including threatening to "Shit in her wig."
The drama kicked off when Michele tweeted in support of Black Lives Matter following the Death of George Floyd. While the tweet itself was innocuous, Samantha Marie Ware quote-tweeted it with quite the bomb, tweeting an all-caps screed accusing Michele of "traumatic microaggressions" that made her "question a career in Hollywood."
The tweet seemed to get the endorsement of other former black Glee castmates, including Alex Newell, Amber Riley, and Dabier Snell, who added, "GIRL YOU WOULDNT LET ME SIT AT THE TABLE WITH THE OTHER CAST MEMBERS CAUSE “I DIDNT BELONG THERE” FUCK YOU LEA."
Michele has not responded to the allegations yet. She has garnered a reputation among followers of the show's behind-the-scenes drama as being difficult to work with. Naya Rivera, who played Santana Lopez, wrote in her book Sorry Not Sorry that Michele didn't speak to her for all of Season 6.

I totally believed her until she used the word "microaggression". Sounds like Samantha is throwing Lea under the bus.

Guilty before you're innocent, should be the new United States Law. Because allegations are just allegations. This makes it no different to Zoe Quinn forcing a man to take his own life before law or any enforcement agency got involved to investigate it.
Ruins lives now. Wait for the truth later, and if they're found not guilty. Well it's too late now, they're guilty simply by association at that point.

Well these kind of seem to be firsthand experiences by multiple fellow cast members, triggered not by the success of the accused (while there have been plenty of opportunities for that) but by what is perceived by them as hypocrisy towards a third party that they feel warrants exposing.
