Glee's Samantha Marie Ware Says Lea Michele Made Working On The Show  "A Living Hell"

Lea Michele has been accused of making life a "living hell" for Glee co-star Samantha Ware.

Samantha joined the musical TV show — which Lea starred in — for its sixth and final season in 2015 as Jane Hayward. After Lea took to social media in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, following the death of George Floyd at the hands of the police, Samantha called her out for being hypocritical.

Lea, 33, wrote: "George Floyd did not deserve this. This was not an isolated incident and it must end. #BlackLivesMatter."

And Samantha, 28, replied: "LMAO REMEMBER WHEN YOU MADE MY FIRST TELEVISON GIG A LIVING HELL?!?! CAUSE ILL NEVER FORGET. I BELIEVE YOU TOLD EVERYONE THAT IF TOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY YOU WOULD "'SH*T IN MY WIG!' AMONGST OTHER TRAUMATIC MICROAGRESSIONS THAT MADE ME QUESTION A CAREER IN HOLLYWOOD... (sic)."

Alex Newell, Amber Riley and Dabier Snell — who all co-starred in Glee — reacted to the tweet in support of Samantha.

Alex and Amber shared gifs, with Alex posting the "Get her, Jade" meme from RuPaul's Drag Race, while Dabier wrote: "GIRL YOU WOULDNT LET ME SIT AT THE TABLE WITH THE OTHER CAST MEMBERS CAUSE 'I DIDNT BELONG THERE' F**K YOU LEA (sic)."

Community actress Yvette Nicole Brown showed her support for Samantha by writing: "I felt every one of those capital letters."

And Alex replied: "Felt like claps!!"

Following Ware's allegations, food company HelloFresh severed ties with Lea. In January, HelloFresh announced it had partnered with Lea to promote its meal kits.

The brand tweeted, "HelloFresh does not condone racism nor discrimination of any kind. We are We are disheartened and disappointed to learn of the recent claims concerning Lea Michele. We take this very seriously, and have ended our partnership with Lea Michele, effective immediately.”

Meanwhile, Hailee Steinfeld recently revealed that she had a bad Lea encounter in 2011.

Hailee, now 23, told J-14 magazine: "When I was auditioning for True Grit, I was on the Paramount lot. I was wearing clothes from the 1800s that were big and uncomfortable'.

"Glee also films on the lot and I love that show.

"I saw Lea Michele just walking to her trailer, and I was like, "'That's the girl from Glee. I've got to go ask for her autograph!'

"So I walked up to her and asked for her autograph, but she walked by and a guy came and said, 'Sorry, now's not a good time!'

"I was so sad! I was practically crying on the way home."— BANG
