‘Glee’ actress Lea Michele took to Twitter on May 30 to say the 46-year-old man didn’t deserve to fall prey to racism. However, it has backfired after her co-actress, Samantha Marie Ware, made shocking revelations about the former from her own experience. 

Addressing her opinion about the tragic death of Floyd which has led to nationwide protests and riots, Michele tweeted, “George Floyd did not deserve this. This was not an isolated incident and it must end. #BlackLivesMatter”

On seeing Michele’s tweet, Ware responded saying, “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 “SHIT IN MY WIG!” AMONGST OTHER TRAUMATIC MICROAGRESSIONS THAT MADE ME QUESTION A CAREER IN HOLLYWOOD…”

Internet users who initially thanked Michele for speaking up, have expressed a different opinion after Ware shed light on the alleged racism she was subjected to from Michele’s end when they were working together. Many of them have specifically called out Michele for her “shit in my wig” remark, with one of the tweets stating “why did you say you would shit in a black woman’s wig? you’re going to hell.”

“How about treat black ppl in real life like humans and then your post would be appreciated,” added another.

A few of Michele’s followers have asked her to refrain from sharing posts about Black Lives Matter. “Don’t post #BlackLivesMatterbecause “That’s the thing to do”, do it because you mean it honey because you have some demons,” wrote one. 

Meanwhile, a few are simply shocked to see a virtual feud unfold between the cast members of ‘Glee’. “The glee cast publicly turning on lea michele is yet another subplot of 2020 I didn’t see coming but boy I’m here for this ride,’ wrote another. 

One tweet read, “This should not surprise anyone. Lea was well known for being exactly like her character so if you think of all the shit Rachel did, pretty good odds Lea was the same”.
