I went into this Lea Michele profile/interview thinking that I would end up writing about Lea?s quote about people telling her to get a nose job, but then the funniest thing happened at the very start of the interview. So, some minor background: there is a years-long internet joke about Lea Michele?s illiteracy. I?ve mentioned it before and Lea even addressed the joke/rumor in a NYT interview this year, only she made it worse. She apparently only recently heard about the conspiracy that she can?t read, which just proves that? she can?t read, because that joke has been repeated online for years. Arguing ?I know my lines? is not the same as arguing ?I can read my lines.? But I digress. It turns out, Barbra Streisand sent her a letter. Lea can?t tell us what?s in the letter. Because she can?t read it. Some highlights from Town & Country:
She got a note from Barbra Streisand: ?It was so surreal and such a wonderful moment. The fact that she acknowledged my performance?I could cry. I called Jonathan [Groff] and Ryan Murphy sobbing.? In fact, the 36-year-old actress isn?t sure she?ll ever let anyone else know what Streisand wrote her. ?It was a beautiful, hand-written note that I will cherish. She was incredibly complimentary. It exists. It happened, and now I feel like so many dreams can come true.?
Starring in ?Funny Girl?: ?Honestly, it?s all been one incredible dream on top of an incredible dream.? Growing up, ?people would tell me to get nose jobs, that I wasn?t pretty enough for film and television,? she recalls. The comparisons with Streisand were inevitable. ?She was an icon for me in my life.?
On Ryan Murphy: ?Sometimes I FaceTime him during intermission and say, ?Can you believe this?? He?s been such an incredible source of support for me. I?m so grateful for him in my life.?
Her costar Ramin Karimloo, who plays Nick Arnstein: ?It?s like playing tennis with someone who?s just as good as you are. It?s thrilling, and our voices just match.?
No wild times on Broadway after the show: ?Sometimes Ramin will have a little tequila in my room, but that?s as wild as it gets. My mom asks me the same thing, but calming down is not as hard as you think. I?m really happy to come home,? she says. Once there, she makes two pieces of toast with a lot of butter to eat in bed, ?and I?m asleep in two minutes.?
[From Town & Country]
I?m not saying that Lea Michele can?t read, but I will say that she doesn?t do a great job of proving that she can read? What?s in the note Streisand sent you? Oh, I?ll never tell a soul, trust that it?s all complimentary though! It?s also sort of weird and gross about people telling her to get nose jobs, and it just shows the gross need for the entertainment industry to homogenize everyone there are several generations of actors and actresses who are all interchangeable, little small-nosed blonde bots who look alike. Lea Michele has some terrible qualities but those qualities are about her character and personality she?s a beautiful woman with an interesting nose. #KeepYourEthnicNoses

Throughout the month of June, we were all obsessed with Lea Michele getting ?outed? as a massive jackass. It started when Lea tried to post something about Black Lives Matter, and Black actresses who worked with Lea on Glee said that actually, she spent years bullying them and threatening to sh-t in their wigs. It all came tumbling out, how Lea was persona non grata in the Broadway community and beauty industry, and how basically she only works because Ryan Murphy keeps hiring her, and she treats everyone like sh-t. Lea tried to apologize but she made it so much worse because her apology was one of the worst things I?ve ever read.
Anyway, Lea was pregnant when all that happened. She was actually in her last trimester. Which makes me feel a little bit sorry for her, then I remember that she would sh-t in my wig if given the chance. Well, good news. Lea gave birth to a boy. It was apparently an uneventful birth. Get a load of the name though.
Lea Michele is a mom. The former Glee actress, 33, and husband Zandy Reich welcomed a baby boy on Aug. 20, a source tells PEOPLE.
Everyone?s happy and healthy, and theyre extremely grateful, the source says.
Hes been an easy baby so far, the source adds of Michele and Reichs first child.
PEOPLE confirmed the couple named their son Ever Leo.
[From People]
EVER LEO. My God. ?Ever? and ?Everly? seem like favorite names for celebrity children in the past decade Alanis Morissette has a son named Ever, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have a daughter named Everly. It?s a thing. But to put the name with ?Leo? is just kind of weird? It feels like she?s writing poetry about Leonardo DiCaprio. Ever Leo, Evermore, Ever Loved?

You know what I find sort of funny about the Lea Michele situation? After the first wave of call-outs from former coworkers about her bullying, ridiculously inappropriate behavior, Lea issued a complete word-salad apology which no one bought, and added another offense onto the pile. And since then, she hasn?t officially offered anything else. Yet, I believe her publicist (that poor person) is probably trying to massage the story thus ?Lea might have behavioral issues? but to not give it another shot, apology-wise? That says something to me too. I get that Lea?s publicist is probably telling her to keep her mouth shut and hope that everything blows over, but if Lea sincerely wanted to apologize and vow to make a change, she would. She hasn?t.
Meanwhile, did you know that Lea also terrorized people in the beauty industry? Her diva antics were not simply limited to Ryan Murphy?s sets. Quelle surprise.
Beauty business insiders say former ?Glee? diva Lea Michele is known to be toxic in the industry because of her ugly behavior. The actress, 33, has been caught up in a storm of damning headlines with a host of former co-stars calling her a mean girl. Now, those behind the scenes are joining in.
One beauty pro told Page Six that after Michele was signed to be the face of L?Oral in 2012 for an estimated $1 million, one of her duties was a short interview about her beauty routine ? and she stormed out in the middle of it. The source claimed, ?All the questions and answers were agreed [on] in advance, she just had to answer five questions on camera about her hair routine to a crew hired by L?Oral. But two questions in, Lea just stood up, said she was done and walked out, leaving everyone standing there in shock. The head of L?Oral asked if she was coming back, and her mother said, ?No, she?s not.???
In 2013, L?Oral signed Blake Lively for the ?Because You?re Worth It? campaign.
The source added of Michele, ?This is who she is. Given how small the industry is, the word has spread across other beauty brands.?
However other sources close to the production who worked with Lea on L?Oreal shoots said she was lovely to work with. One source who worked on production for L?Oreal, ?I don?t ever remember her being difficult on or off-set.?
[From Page Six]
LOL. I remember Lea getting the L?Oreal contract but I didn?t realize that her contract only lasted for a year before they had enough. L?Oreal is one of the beauty companies which generally lock celebrities into longer, multi-year contracts too. It says something that Lea only lasted a year. And yes, I completely believe that Lea was a douche to people across all industries, of all races, of all job descriptions. It wasn?t just co-stars, it was the below-the-line staff on her shows, it was L?Oreal people and someone might want to check in on Lea?s manager, publicist and agent, not to mention her household staff and anyone in food service who has ever had to deal with her. I?m just sayin?.

Last week, everyone finally decided that they had enough of Lea Michele?s bullsh-t. A stream of former co-stars and co-workers all came out to tell their stories about how awful she is and how she bullied people, threatened people and how she was just a completely horrendous individual. I?m sure some people will be like ?hey, give her a break, she?s pregnant right now.? And I get that, I?m not trying to wish ill on any pregnant woman. But good lord, Lea did not make it easy when she issued a completely stupid word-salad apology, one of the worst celeb apologies I?ve ever read. So what?s happening now? Page Six says Lea is ?desperately trying to make amends.? Mm-hm.
Lea Michele has been called a mean girl by Hollywood gossips ever since finding fame on ?Glee.? But now, at seven months pregnant and caught up in a storm of incredibly damning headlines over her behavior, Michele, 33, has spent the past few days desperately trying to make amends.
?She?s had a real wake-up call,? a Michele friend told The Post. ?It?s never easy to hear people speak about you this way. It?s a total shock.?
?Lea was a bitch to a lot of people who are now taking the opportunity to come forward,? said one industry source who has worked with her. ?She may not be the nicest person, but she?s not racist, sexist or transphobic. I would say she has behavioral issues that she?s dealing with. She is listening, she hears what everyone says and wants to apologize. This is her past and she wants to handle things responsibly.?
Gerard Canonico branded Michele a ?nightmare? behind the scenes of the 2006 Broadway show ?Spring Awakening,? while Heather Morris called her ?very unpleasant? to work with on ?Glee,? and Elizabeth Aldrich ? Michele?s understudy for ?Ragtime? on Broadway all the way back in 1998 ? said: ?I used to cry every night from the mean and manipulative things she would do. She was 12. She was terrifying.?
Actor Dabier Snell, who won a guest spot on ?Glee,? told The Post how she had him banished from lunch on set. ?I was invited to sit down with the rest of the cast members by Darren Criss, and made to feel welcome. I also knew Chris Colfer as well, so he was like, ?Go ahead, come sit with us and chat!? .?.?. Five to 10 minutes after we sat down and had a conversation, I was pulled [aside by an assistant director] and told one of the cast members did not want me to sit there, because she felt I don?t belong. I later found out it was [Michele] who said that. Everybody else was cool. I couldn?t tell Darren or Chris because they work with her and she has a lot of power. It felt like .?.?. if I said something, I probably wasn?t going to be on the show. I just zipped my mouth. I went back to my trailer and cried a bit, I won?t lie.?
Asked whether Michele?s behavior was racially motivated or just plain rude, Snell, who is black, replied: ?I feel like it?s both, I feel like it?s status, too, somebody who?s like ?I?m a lead, I?m big time, I have the power to say anything I want to my other cast members.??
[From Page Six]
Page Six compiled a lot of the complaints and stories about Lea from the past week, which we?ve mostly covered in other posts, but I wanted to include Dabier Snell because I think his story got to the heart of it some of what Lea did was motivated by racism. As for that industry source explaining it with ?she has behavioral issues that she?s dealing with,? again, it?s a combination of many things. It would not shock me if she had ?behavioral issues.? It would not shock me if she?s just an entitled brat who thinks everyone is beneath her, but she only bullies the people of color because she thinks she can ?get away with it.?

As someone who always got a bad vibe from Lea Michele, I?m feeling pretty good about what?s happened to her this week. I feel like my instincts were dead-on about her. To recap, Samantha Marie Ware got the ball rolling when she responded to Lea?s tweet about the murder of George Floyd. Ware said Lea made her first TV gig ?a living hell? and that Lea ?told everyone? that if she had the opportunity, she would ?sh-t? in Ware?s wig. Ware accused Lea of ?traumatic microaggressions? and more. Many of Lea?s former costars piled on with GIFs and tweets, backing up Ware?s story. Then yesterday, Lea decided to release an apology which was? one of the WORST apologies I?ve ever read in my life. I can?t even summarize it just go here to read the mess. Her publicist must have been drunk when she okayed that. So what else has happened? Another costar is speaking up Heather Morris worked with Lea for years on Glee.
Heather Morris is speaking out about the allegations made against her former Glee co-star Lea Michele. The 33-year-old actress and dancer, who played cheerleader Brittany S. Pierce on the beloved series, says that Lea was ?very? unpleasant to work with.
Heather said, ?Let me be very clear, Hate is a disease in America that we are trying to cure, so I would never wish for hate to be spread to anyone else. With that said, was she unpleasant to work with? Very much so; for Lea to treat others with the disrespect that she did for as long as she did, I believe she SHOULD be called out.?
?And yet, it?s also on us because to allow it to go on for so long without speaking out is something else we?re learning along with the rest of society,? Heather continued. ?But, at the current moment its implied that she is a racist and although I cannot comment on her beliefs, I think we?re assuming, and you know what happens when we all assume??
[From JustJared]
I think Heather is trying to make a nuanced argument, one which (ultimately) doesn?t even matter. Heather?s basically like ?yeah, Lea threatened to sh-t in a lot of wigs, but I don?t think wig sh-tting is necessarily racist?? Which is not the point because it?s still wig sh-tting. Also, I believe Samantha Ware. She didn?t say ?racist? but she said ?traumatic microaggressions,? and a lot of Lea?s former costars (who happen to be black) were agreeing with Ware. As for this: ?It?s also on us because to allow it to go on for so long without speaking out is something else we?re learning along with the rest of society.? I hate that both-sidesism. Yes, every coworker has a responsibility to treat each other with respect, and when one person is constantly disrespectful, people should speak out. But it?s not ?on? Lea?s bullying victims in the same way it?s ?on? Lea for being a hateful, wig sh-tting C-U-Next-Tuesday.
What else? Lea?s Spring Awakening costar Gerard Canonico had this to say about working with Lea and her horrendous apology:

Lea Michele tried to do a tweet about racism and George Floyd, only to have it blow up in her face spectacularly. The backlash began when Samantha Marie Ware, a former Glee guest-star, tweeted that Lea actually threatened to ?sh-t in her wig? among other ?microaggressions? which caused Samantha to question her career. Lea?s other former costars (on Glee and other shows) piled on and backed up Ware?s story and more. Then, within the same newscycle, Lea?s corporate sponsorship with HelloFresh was terminated, and HelloFresh said it was specifically for Lea?s racism. So? what?s new? Lea went to People Magazine to perform her apology.
Lea Michele is apologizing for past behavior after her Glee costar Samantha Marie Ware accused her of tormenting her on the set of the musical TV series. Michele, 33, says in a statement exclusively shared with PEOPLE that while she does not remember making the specific remarks that Ware says she made, that is not really the point.
What matters is that I clearly acted in ways which hurt other people, Michele says, explaining the importance of listening and learning from those who she might have hurt in the past.
One of the most important lessons of the last few weeks is that we need to take the time to listen and learn about other peoples perspectives and any role we have played or anything we can do to help address the injustices that they face, Michele says. When I tweeted the other day, it was meant to be a show of support for our friends and neighbors and communities of color during this really difficult time? but the responses I received to what I posted have made me also focus specifically on how my own behavior towards fellow cast members was perceived by them.
While I don?t remember ever making this specific statement and I have never judged others by their background or color of their skin, that?s not really the point, Micheles statement continues. What matters is that I clearly acted in 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 behavior and for any pain which I have caused. We all can grow and change and I have definitely used these past several months to reflect on my own shortcomings.
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, she concludes. I listened to these criticisms and I am learning and while I am very sorry, I will be better in the future from this experience.
[From People]
This is a lot: ?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? Well. So is she acknowledging her ?privileged position? or saying that it?s just people who PERCEIVE her as ?insensitive or inappropriate?? It?s just a mess, honestly, and I don?t know what to say here. She deserves no cookies for this, although I guess a vague apology is a start. But to be clear, she was accused of being racist and a terrible coworker and she makes it sound like people are just misremembering things but she?ll work on getting people to perceive her differently. It?s not a good statement.

Yesterday, we discussed Samantha Marie Ware and how Lea Michele threatened her when they worked together on Glee in 2015. Ware claimed (and I believe her, 100%) that Lea told everyone that if given the opportunity, she would ?sh-t? in Samantha?s wig. What was amazing was that immediately, several former Glee peeps and former Lea Michele costars all piled on with stories and GIFs, all agreeing with Samantha. Apparently, Abigail Breslin is another one of Lea?s old (Scream Queens) costars who hates her guts:
Weighing in? Abigail Breslin and more stars subtly addressed drama surrounding Lea Michele after Glee alum Samantha Maria Ware accused the actress of making the show a ?living hell.?
Later Tuesday, Breslin, 24, was caught ?liking? a handful of tweets about the Glee backlash. ?not everyone agreeing that something felt off about Lea Michele? where have y?all been i?ve BEEN saying this FOR YEARS??? i thought i was alone,? one Twitter user wrote. Another tweet in Breslin?s list of ?liked? posts simply showed a photo of the series? slogan, ?And that?s what you missed on Glee.?
[From Us Weekly]
So, yeah, Lea has left a lot of carnage on every show she?s ever been on. Literally everyone knew she was the worst though I remember hearing stories about her terrible behavior when Glee first became a thing. Those stories calmed down after Cory Monteith died people felt sorry for Lea but I guess she kept on treating everybody like garbage after Cory died. Another piece of good news? One of Lea?s corporate sponsors just dropped her:
Lea Michele?s partnership with HelloFresh just spoiled. The meal-kit company announced on Tuesday that it terminated its relationship with the former ?Glee? actress after Samantha Marie Ware spoke out against Michele?s alleged racist behavior.
?HelloFresh does not condone racism nor discrimination of any kind. We are disheartened and disappointed to learn of the recent claims concerning Lea Michele,? the company tweeted. ?We take this very seriously, and have terminated our partnership with Lea Michele, effective immediately.?
Michele?s rep hasn?t responded to numerous requests for comment.
[From Page Six]
In the midst of any of these ?feeding frenzy? gossip cycles, I always love it when an outlet says something like ?Her rep had no comment,? or ?his publicist hung up on us.? If Lea treats her COSTARS like sh-t, how do you think she treats her friggin? publicist? That publicist has probably been ?liking? all of the shady tweets too. Anyway, yeah. No more HelloFresh for Lea. HAahahahahaha. Oh well.
God, I couldn?t even finish watching this because she?s THAT annoying. How has this chick been a working actress for the past decade?!?

When I first saw this story on Peoples site I laughed at how self-centered Lea Michele admitted she was in her commencement speech at a charter school in Dallas, Texas. Other than talking extensively about her outfit during her own graduation and how accomplished she was for graduating with a 3.67 GPA while she worked on Broadway, she focused her speech on the parents of the graduates and their sacrifices. It sounded like a rare moment when Lea credited someone other than herself for her achievements. I read a few more stories about it and it turns out that Leas speech and the commencement were sponsored by Whirlpool. Its part of their brand messaging about a lifetime of care. Laundry featured heavily, according to what she told People. Kudos to Jacob Vaughn at the Dallas Observer for being the only outlet I could find which mentioned the connection to Whirlpool.
The Uplift Peak Preparatory graduation was almost like any other high school graduation ceremony
Whirlpool Corp., a home appliance company, and Lea Michele, former Glee star, have teamed together to start the integrated campaign Congrats, Parents. Parents and caregivers are responsible for 7,488 loads of laundry, 2,700 loads of dishes and 19,710 meals before graduates walk the stage.
The campaign flips the traditional narrative of high school graduation to recognize the acts of care that parents provide throughout students? academic career, says Katie Suzik, Whirlpool account executive. In addition to appreciation shown through students? ?Care Caps,? certain parents, based on submissions from students, teachers and school staff, received the ?Care Cum Laude? honor.
After speeches from the top of their class at Uplift Peak, attendees were given an introduction to Lea Michele?s accomplishments before her commencement speech. After her being introduced, about a minute and a half of awkward silence rang out through the church. Finally, Michele appeared from backstage, phone in hand, live streaming the event.
?Everybody say hi,? she says. ?Are you all waiting for me? That?s embarrassing.?
The former Glee actress says high school was an important part of her personal and professional life. It was as if she had two high school experiences: the real one, where she attended Tenafly High School in New Jersey, and the fake one, where she acted on the set of Glee.
?A lot of you are receiving a lot of attention today, and you deserve it,? she says. ?But I?m here on behalf of our friends at Whirlpool brand to make sure some other special people receive some of the spotlight. That?s your parents.?
Michele asked students to think about all the times their parents supported them, encouraged them and picked them up after making a mistake. She says behind every graduate at Uplift Peak and the 3.6 million others that make up the class of 2018 in the U.S., is a lifetime of care.
?Congrats, parents, for making it through the early mornings, and late nights,? she says. ?For thousands of simple acts of care day in and day out throughout your lives.?
Michele says she is an only child, and her parents made her the center of their lives. She would not have got through high school if it were not for them, she says.
Her attendance of the Uplift Peak graduation is mildly ironic given recent rumors online of the actress? inability to read. The rumor started with Jaye Hunt and Robert Ackerman, fans of Glee and creators of the podcast One More Thing. However, Michele says she worked hard through high school to obtain a 3.8 grade point average.
?I think it just goes to show that people have a lot of time on their hands,? she says. ?It?s really sad actually.?
[From The Dallas Observer]
So Leas speech focused on her graduation outfit, how accomplished she was for graduating with a high GPA and getting accepted to NYU, and how shes not illiterate like an online conspiracy theory claims, which shes already addressed multiple times. Other than that she parroted Whirlpools talking points and was likely reading a speech given to her by the company. This prep school and two other schools signed on to commencements sponsored by Whirlpool so this isnt entirely on Lea. Its still tacky as hell though.
As for Lea, she cracks me up so much with how into herself and unapologetic she is. She?s always been like this and it?s outrageous and refreshing at the same time. We?re told that we need to put ourselves first, to be gentle to ourselves and to have high self esteem if we want to succeed. Lea has never had a problem with any of that. Maybe she can focus on that during her next sponsored commencement speech.
Thrilled to be here with @whirlpoolusa as the commencement speaker with Uplift Peak Prep today to celebrate the class and parents of 2018! Throughout all of high school my parents supported me every step of the way.. I can?t thank them enough for the years of care and encouragement that always helped me succeed.. I love you mom and dad! Tag someone who helped you growing up! #CongratsParents #EveryDayCare #sponsor
