Exactly. Those people didn’t deserve her real-life bullying. It sounds like she created a hostile work environment (to put it mildly and in HR terms), and it sounds like it’s a recurring theme.
Cue follow up non-apology tweet/post/video saying it was not her intention to hurt people / it was the actions of her youth / she has grown from her experiences / promises to do better, with an attached monetary donation. It’s getting predictable at this point.
Los Angeles is starting to wake up and I’ve already heard from 3 friends who worked production on several seasons of GLEE and they vouch on everything being said right now. They’re happy all of this is no longer heresay anymore. Ryan Murphy disassociated himself from her a few years ago so that ride ended for her.
As mentioned above, her bully behavior is now getting its acknowledgment. Victims are speaking up.
Oh no sorry. I was saying if Lea says “I was young when that happened I’m so sorry” that Yvette would/should respond with saying she wasn’t so young just last year (when they worked together).
" It's perfectly common for bullies to be selectively nice to the "right" people. Based on these tweets, Lea has a history of creating an "in crowd" and an "out crowd", which is not an uncommon tactic. In the narcissistic abuse community, people refer to the narcissist as superficially charming, with a retinue of "enablers." I'm not saying that's what's going on here with the aforementioned actors, but people are definitely capable of being selectively friendly and those around them often are oblivious or make excuses/exceptions for their behavior.

I don't doubt that Lea Michele is horrible; such reputations are earned. It just seems strange that shes being dragged for....posting the right message re George Floyd? Horrible, entitled divas can support basic civil rights, just as mild, agreeable people can be the nastiest bigots.

What Samantha Ware is saying is that she doesn't buy it. You cannot literally terrorize and belittle people and then call for unity.

But people are saying that throughout her career, she hasn’t walked the walk to “support basic civil rights.” Her black castmates and their allies are speaking against her actions, which were far louder than her words and much more frequent. “Entitled divas” can also be “the nastiest bigots.” Carefully constructed words that read hollow on social media don’t signify a change from within.
Not making any excuses for Lea as I'm sure she's awful (friends of mine have their own horror stories), but doesn't at least a little bit of the blame belong to Ryan Murphy? I mean, it was his show. Would it not have theoretically been his responsibility to put a stop to Lea's on set behavior if it were creating a toxic work environment? The only way she could have had any power on set is if he allowed it. Especially considering NUMEROUS cast members seemed to have had the same complaint. I'm sure if he would have threatened to fire her, that probably would have smacked some sense into her.
