Lea Michele on Twitter — Page 7

It is one of the better "apologies" I've seen. And I don't doubt SHE doesn't remember the specifics - perpetrators seldom do as they don't give it any thought. But several time she makes a comment like this one "....that caused me to be perceived as insensitive or inappropriate at times". STILL puts the blame on those receiving her behavior.



I HOPE what she stated is true. We'll see.

" How hard is it to write a simple apology? All you need is: "To the people I've hurt, I'm sorry and I hope to earn your forgiveness in the future. To those who are disappointed in my past behavior, I join you in that disappointment. I am working to become a better person, and I appreciate those who hold me accountable."

You did excellent job SeanD2, maybe you should work for her. Just kidding -lol

Ravenclaw said: "Which leads to an interesting philosophical question...Is being mean to people of color racist if you're uniformly nasty to people of every race? Like the comedians who call themselves "equal-opportunity offenders," in a way. But if you're causing that much harm and destruction to the people around you, does it really matter whether or not yourmotivations are race-related?"

It's up for the people of color she harasses to decide. If it feels racially motivated to them, then that's all that matters. White people cannot continue to be the arbiters of what is racism. There have been (and will continue to be) plenty of white people also bullied by Lea Michele but things like her saying she'd **** in the wig of her black costar and a whole article about her devastation over not getting Maria in "West Side Story" - "I even learned Spanish for this!" - indicate a racial insensitivity.

Have been eagerly awaiting her comeuppance for years.

Calling you out for making digs at actors for gaining weight during their industry shutdown and for offering your opinion on how they are mismanaging their money and offering your predictions on their future post-performing careers isn’t mean. Take responsibility for your own behavior.

I hope she means her apology, people can change organically or being forced to do so (this). I don't believe in cancel culture, it's extremely dangerous, so I hope she can learn from this and not treat others like garbage. Some of the stories of her on that set were truly horrendous. Her career hasn't really been a thing for years now, most likely this being at least a minor reason. Who wants to work with a monster diva? I hope she changes, if not, her career is probably completely over. Which is a shame because I find her to be extremely talented. I'm glad she was called out though, it was time.

A previous poster asked, "How hard is it to write a simple apology?" Well, I think writing a public apology for being a sh***y person is probably pretty hard.

By no means defending her -- her behavior described by her colleagues is abhorrent -- but I suggest giving her the chance to show change in behavior. I don't know what is gained by further criticizing her apology and acting like she is irredeemable.

Yes, the apology has A LOT of qualifiers and I have no idea who actually wrote it, but she did own some of it (e.g., "...I clearly acted in ways which hurt other people." ). She didn't engage in criminal activities, she was just being a terrible person.

She needed to be called out and now she is under a professional and public magnifying glass of scrutiny now. If she fails to uphold her part of the bargain, people will very likely believe future criticism about her.

Time will tell if she exhibits positive behavior and treat all consistently going forward, even if she is never authentic about it. She's also now incentivized by avoiding more consequences leading to direct loss of income (e.g. Hello Fresh). Or maybe her career IS ruined and we won't have to hear about her again.

This is just my two cents on the apology. I'm not a fan, and still interested in hearing about past transgressions should they be shared by those who were transgressed upon. And any criticism on her future actions. Just as a bystander welcoming distractions (pass the popcorn).

You can watch MANY interviews including the recent Stars in the House reunion where her name is tangentially brought up and all their faces drop. Chris Colfer talked abouthowrewarding it was to get to sing "Defying Gravity" on the show and his face when he says "sang it with Lea" tells 20 stories on its own."

Going back to watch that to see this for myself hahaha
