Lea Michele has met the buzz saw of cancel culture.
The formerGleestar was dropped on Tuesday by HelloFresh. The meal-kit company does not want the taint of Lea’s bad publicity. She’s been accused on social media of being racist and a serial bully.
HelloFresh released a statement that said, “We do not condone racism nor discrimination of any kind. We are disheartened to learn of the recent claims concerning Lea Michele.”
Glee co-star Samantha Ware dropped the first bombshell. The Black American actress alleged on Twitter that Lea Michele taunted her with “traumatic microaggressions” that included a threat to “shit in my wig!” This allegation by Sammie has been retweeted 85,000 times. (Variety)
Other Glee actors piled on. Stories are legendary about Lea Michele’s diva attitude. One accusation dated back to Lea’s days on Broadway. She allegedly got a background actor fired and then re-hired once Lea learned the woman was Barbra Streisand’s niece. Lea wanted to connect with Streisand and desperately needed an inside contact.
The show wrapped in 2015. These co-stars have been holding grudges for five years.
