Glee co-star Samantha accused Lea Michele of making her life ‘living hell’

Lea Michele recently took to Twitter to express her solidarity with George Floyd, who was a victim of police brutality. The actress too was expressing herself on the matter, however, she was caught in a row with her former co-star of Glee. The actress was called out by Samantha Marie Ware for some of her past actions and behaviour towards the latter.

She took an elaborate post to express how Lea’s past behaviour does not stand with her current statement on the Black Lives Matter movement as she has disregard people of the African-American origin before. 

The tweet of Samantha was then backed up by many actors from the show, who are all of the African-American origins. All raising alarm over Lea’s recent tweet and past behaviour, her BLM statement was not well received by actors like Alex Newell and Amber Riley. Even though the latter didn’t tweet anything directly but her reaction was definitely in support of Samantha.
