A part of the apology posted by the Glee actor Lea Michele read, "When I tweeted the other day, it was meant to be a show of support for our friends and neighbours and communities of colour during this really difficult time, but the responses I received to what I posted have made me focus specifically on how my own behaviour towards fellow cast members was perceived by them." [sic] She also mentioned in her post that her actions might have stemmed from her immaturity at the time of the shoot.
Lea Michele wrote, "While I don’t remember ever making this specific statement and I have never judged others by their background or colour of their skin, that’s not really the point, what matters is that I clearly acted in the ways which hurt other people. Whether it was my privileged position and perspective that caused me to be perceived as insensitive or inappropriate at times or whether it was just my immaturity and me just being unnecessarily difficult, I apologize for my behaviour and for any pain which I have caused." [sic] She further stated that she has grown since the show and that she has taken the past few months to reflect on herself.
Lea Michele recently revealed that she is expecting her first child with husband Zach Reich. In the apology, she also mentioned that she needs to keep working on herself so that she can be a better role model for her child. She wrote, "I am a couple of months from becoming a mother and I know I need to keep working to better myself and take responsibility for my actions, so that I can be a real role model for my child and so I can pass along my lessons and mistakes, so that they can learn from me."
