'Glee' wig shit victim responds to Lea being cast in Funny Girl!

She'll never let it go.

Reading that makes ME want to shit in her wig.

I actually liked her on GLEE and felt she was underutilized.

But this all just feels thirsty and desperate.

Tainted dreams!

Tainted wigs!

Now I understand why Lea wanted to shit in her wig! Dear God Lea was right!

Lea is a C..U...N...T

What if Lea shits in Tovah Feldshuh's wig???

Have the producers considered that possibility?

SCATTY GURL?

She's giving me Janet Hubert, fucked up in the head so I can't let it go, vibes.

This kind of shit makes me root more for Lea

She needs the old shit bra, maybe that will shut her up

"I'll shit in your wig"? a vulgar threat made by a horse face witch deserving to be taken down a notch

I never really read all the stuff the co-star alleged, did LM ever actually say or do anything overtly racist. I mean I'm sure there are a number of reasons, other than race, that LM could've hated her for. There are a number of reasons to hate most people, without being a bigot.

Who?

Look people, being dry humped on stage by Jonathan Groff 8 shows a week for 18 months WITHOUT penetration would drive anyone crazy.

Give me a fucking break!

Not a hairpiece on Broadway is safe with this shady wig-shitter on the loose!

Sutton Foster better inspect Marian Paroo's wig VERY carefully!

maybe it's racist or maybe not. We can agree on that threatening behavior is insulting and unwelcome in our workplace

She allegedly just said it, she didn’t do it.

It’s perfectly healthy for a 30 year-old adult to build an entire public persona around the fact they had a shitty work colleague almost a decade ago.

She needs to take a dip in Lake Piru.

Consulting my demon spellbook.

The origin story thread...

[quote] Yes, my dreams were tainted.

[bold]THE HORROR!![/bold]

This is classic Mary Decker Slaney Syndrome.

You can garner sympathy initially for pointing out someone did something awful to you, but if you keep trying to milk it forever, eventually people will hate you and feel more sympathy for the person who wronged you.

[quote]Yes, my dreams were tainted.

Yes, my taint is dreamy.

wiped my taint on your weave.

[quote] Yes, Broadway upholds whiteness.

How dare they cast a white woman as Fanny Brice!

are jews really "white?"

Why is Lea such a bitch? She’s a middling actress who is desperate to be revered like Babs—like every Long Island Jewish girl.

What gives her the right to terrorize everyone around her??!

Yes, she a complete cunt but she should still be able to eat

Here's the real question: Do people actually believe that Lea will actually be good, rather than simply better (if even that) than that Beanie person?

I mean, she's a terrible actress who mugs for the camera. She sings Carlotta in Phantom of the Opera - a caricature of a good singer.

MIddle America thinks she's great, but do people who actually know theater think she is?

I suspect Lea is still bitter that she wasn't nominated for a Tony for Spring Awakening. Which is why I'm surprised she agreed to do a role in which she can't be nominated for one.

Can someone explain? Did she really shit in that woman's wig??

she mugs and belts it out.

that's what bway is all about.

This is the last chance Lea will ever get to do Funny Girl on Bway so she agreed. Plus she needs a job.

[quote] MIddle America thinks she's great, but do people who actually know theater think she is?

Who gives a shit, if Middle America thinks she's great?

They rarely make or cast musicals for Broadway queens... they know you'll go anyways.

So what does this Black warrior princess with tainted dreams and a horrible history of being abused by Lea Michele WANT?

What is her desired outcome here? That Lea Michele never work again? Should a Black person have been cast as Fanny Brice?

I don't understand her complaint that Broadway upholds whiteness after the Tonys just fell over themselves to award Black shows and performers a month ago.

[quote] Who gives a shit, if Middle America thinks she's great?

Broadway producers who want to make money from tourists. Remember it is the tourists that keeps Broadway going.

glee will bring folxs in.

It is really healthy behavior, making vulgar threats against a peer in a professional setting

WIG SHIT VIC SLAMS LEA!

has viola spoken?

Girls, girls, your wigs both need to get shatted on.

You should have slapped that ho and then told her to keep your name out her mathufuckin mouth.

R43 Thank you Mrs. Garrett!

It's breaking news!

Got you decrepit white faggots are vile.

And I actually am a fan of Leahs voice.

She sounds exhausting. Lea deserves a second chance.

WTF does tainted dreams have to do with Lea? Glee ended almost a decade ago.

Broadway is bending over backward to produce Black-themed and Black-created shows.

YNB proving once again she's a childish moron. Such passive-aggressiveness.

Like she wasn't plotting to take over as host of The Talking Dead Chris Hardwick when he was almost metoo'd but the accusations didn't stick. Did the devil win then, too?

Lea Michele may be a raging bitch, but this bitch is riding on her coattails to try to be relevant. So sick and tired of this whiteness blame. Agreed that the Tonys went overboard, like everything else to try to appease the community. Look at the new rules to be nominated for an Academy Award. What if you are a Japanese or Korean film and don’t have blacks in it, then no nominations? If you are an all-black film, will you be disqualified?

Just watch, The Diary of Anne Frank will be cancelled unless it has an all-black cast…including playing the Nazis.

is this same old fucking story, professional victim, being managed by Viola Davis?

Lainie stole my wig more than once, but never shat in it!

Amber Riley reposted her tweets to her Instagram Stories and as far as I can tell, the only Glee cast member to even like Lea’s post was Becca Tobin. No love lost in that group.

OK, I’ll help you guys out…

Lea is on Broadway and Amber is on unemployment or most like welfare.

Amber seems like a real bitch herself. Lea was a bitch, no doubt, but that whole cast seemed pretty toxic.

R50, Calm your hysterical ass down before someone calms you down for you.

How does Broadway uphold whiteness, when the ENTIRE Broadway community is as liberal as they come?

So what she's saying is liberals are racist too?

R57 Malcolm X informed them of that in the sixties.

Has anyone asked Meghan Markle how she's doing?

She sounds pissed that her initial exposure of Lea didn't result in an upswing in HER career. She got some attention at first but nobody is really interested in her.

Even the title of this thread refers to her as "Glee wig shit victim".

Nobody knows who this fat fuck Amber is.

OP wig **** victim's career just peaked.

Lea's no doubt a brat. But this pile on is getting old. So you worked with a prissy bitch? Welcome to the club. All of her colleagues should have confronted her on the spot instead of doing the traumatized PTSD routine a decade after. And I bet all of these glee whiners have sucked up to people j as Lea in order to further their career. They only call Miss Broadway out publicly because it's socially acceptable.

This Water person is ugly inside and out and loves all the attention wallowing in her own crapulence gives her.

Gurl, you didn't get ahead because you aren't good enough. Blaming it on "whiteness" and Lea Michelle is just an excuse.

R63 here. Don't know what the fuck happened with my post. It should read " sucked up to people just as bad as Lea in order to further their career".

Yup, it's been almost a decade since Glee ended, and two years since you exposed Lea, yet your career is still stagnant.

Maybe that says more about you than it does about Lea.

R55 Speaking of toxic; one Glee cast member OD, one hung himself and one drowned. Who's next? I vote in favor of wig shit victim. At any rate she's over. There's no law that anyone has to hire her. and who would now?

The wig shitter reminds me of the Zinger Zapper.

Her jealousy and use of the race card to justify it are pathetic.

I'm going to pitch a new TV game show called "INFAMY" where a celebrity panel no one likes (Kelly Osbourne, Perez Hilton) have to guess a person's identity with clues about something they're famous for.

SEASON ONE:

Samantha Marie Ware (Lea Michele threatened to shit in her weave)

Casey Anthony (TOT MOM)

Marion Jones (Olympic drug cheat)

Marcelo Rodriguez (the police officer who arrested George Michael when cottaging)

Britney Spears' dad (controlled his daughter for years)

Jussie Smollett (faked racist attack)

Blanket (Michael Jackson's kid, the one he dangled over a balcony)

Debbie Gibson (pop star)

Shannon Doherty's oncologist (treated actress Shannon Doherty for cancer)

How original. Now this bitch is playing the race card because she has zero talent to amount to shit on her own. Lea was an equal opportunity cunt to everybody on that set.

Miss Amber Riley was a stah on Foreign Broadway, you senile bitches!

I don’t know who this Ware person is but I would never hire her for anything; she’s proven she will pull out the race card for sympathy and whine very publicly, whether or not it’s justified. How can you trust someone like that, or want to work with her? You’d be constantly walking on eggshells.

[quote]It’s perfectly healthy for a 30 year-old adult to build an entire public persona around the fact they had a shitty work colleague almost a decade ago.

She hasn't, it's just that this is all you hear about her on DL. If you don't read any other entertainment sites or other social media (and I don't think most on here do) then you'll think she does nothing but talk about Lea Michelle.

Not too much on the employment status of the Glee cast now, even Lea was unemployed for years up until 24 hours ago. She hadn’t been on Broadway in 16 years and the two most recent things she did were a self-funded album of lullabies that no one paid attention to and a Lifetime-esque Christmas movie.

Don't Tain(t) on My Parade.

The only reason Amber Riley won an Olivier for Dreamgirls is because the Brits never saw Jennifer Holiday. She was not all that.

Because she’s talented R29, something that neither the wigshit victim nor Beanie can claim.

[quote] Lea's no doubt a brat. But this pile on is getting old.

Oh, please. If someone treated you like crap, you remember for life.

R78, she can sing sure, but not as well as she thinks she can. Hearing her sing some of the Funny Girl songs, she pushes her voice to the limit, being very close to flat on some notes.

Aren’t we right upon the drownanniversary of Naya? If you recall Naya was her Broadway understudy for Funny Girl on Glee, so on her path to redemption Lea better be saying something nice like how much she wishes Naya was here today to be her understudy for this momentous occasion.

You can tell the precious Zoomers and young Millennials in this thread.

R81 if only they had searched the cabins first! THE CABINS!! They would have saved a mother, a daughter, an actor, an author, a fashionista, a friend, a human.

Lea sang Greatest Star and Who Are You Now in Season 5 of Glee.

R74 Can you provide any links for us about the wig shit victim that will help catch us up on what she's been doing for the last decade?

I'll tell you one thing she's been doing, r85: she's been checking carefully inside each of her wigs before she puts any of them on her head.

I wonder if she regrets her choice of not dealing with this matter in private.

The "wig shit victim" epithet can no longer be removed.

It's fun to read "WIG SHIT VICTIM!" in Fred Schneider's voice...

Half of her Wikipedia article is about her being a wig shit victim.

R87 hahaha no, she loves every minute of it. And if anyone calls her a wig shit victim she will accuse them of racism because shit is often brown.

When does it get announced that Jonathan Groff is joining the cast as Nicky?

Instead of “Don’t Rain on My Parade” Will she sing “Don’t Shit in My Wig?”

R91 Love Groff but he would be a shit Nicky. Ramin is staying on for at least a year, which is a miracle at this point for that production.

Apparently Lea had a lot of trouble singing Don’t Rain in My Parade night after night during the glee concert tour. Does not bode well

Well, then maybe she’ll fail R94. That’s the fun of live theater.

Any black person can accuse anybody of anything now and they will be believed simply because they are black, which makes them a saint apparently.

R64, Fair enough good point. I shouldn't try to tear down my fellow sistah.

My comment was meant for r74.

Loser. And she smells funny.

Actually I take back what I said. I forgot how originaly learned about this Z-lister. Sam Ware got upset that Lea would publicly support George Gloyd because she was rude to her on set. She tried to conflate two things that had nothing to do with each other; her being rude to you wasn't about race and she tried to make it a race thing with the George Floyd incident. I hate people who do that; that was serious what she was trying to imply. Good thing Amber Riley spoke up. Fuck this cunt.

While she can sing the notes, I don't see any sense of nuance in her delivery. Let's see what she can do. I am intrigued enough to consider seeing her

Give it up jealous nobody. Lea should’ve shit in her mouth to shut her up. Racism cries once again when she can’t get jobs from her “talent”. Go home, McDonalds is hiring.

All the Lea-lovers are out on this thread.

Lots of "How dare a Black woman who is less successful in the profession DARE to accuse Lea of racism...just because Lea is more successful and more successful people can't be rude or racist. The accuser is imagining everything!!"

The problem is Lea has a long, documented history of this behavior. We haven't heard of much lately because she hasn't really had a high profile job lately. So basically, Lea is a complete ass to work with.

As a audience member, it doesn't bother me. I'm watching her perform for 2 hours, not hoping she'll be my friend. But the FG cast better watch out...

R103 People always forget that there are stories of her terrorizing understudy on the set of Ragtime when she was 13. She’s talented, but a nutjob.

R103, but what did that have to do with her publicly denouncing George Floyds murder and supporting the cause. That's what put Ware in the spotlight. She suggested that Lea was being hypocritical because she is a racist. And she was suggesting that a celebrity can't publicly admonish a tragedy while also being an asshole in the workplace then she is obviously mentally ill.

Christ my comment was meant for 104

[quote] but what did that have to do with her publicly denouncing George Floyds murder and supporting the cause. That's what put Ware in the spotlight.

Yes, the woman said that Lea is basically faking her sudden caring about George Floyd because deep down Lea is a racist. Sure a celebrity can public admonish a tragedy, but to Ware, Lea was just jumping on the band wagon for publicity.

I love that Mark Salling pled guilty to possession of child pornography (supposedly possessing several thousand photos and videos) AND settled out of court for $2.7 million with an ex-girlfriend for sexual battery but Lea Michele is the villain of the Glee cast. Because she made a nasty comment about shitting in a wig and she wouldn't let some actor sit at lunch with her. Even if Salling was alive and in prison, Lea would still be touted as the number one monster of that group.

And I agree with the poster upthread that most of us have had horrible coworkers over the years, but have since moved on. There is also something to be said about the ability to separate someone's talent from their personality. I've worked with serious cunts who did fantastic work. I am able to distinguish between those two things even though I maintain they are cunts and I hated working with them. And I would never expect them to be fired and/or never get a job again just because they had horrible personalities.

The "cancel Lea forever" and "Lea should be hired again" camps of DL will likely never be able to agree, and that's fine - but I think we can agree that the tweet from Ware is extra as fuck.

R107, But she wasn't racist, Lea didn't say racist shit to her, she just was a bitch to her. Ware knew what she was doing and the implications she was making. Apparently Lea was a bitch to everyone. And even if Ware wasn't making a race issue, somethings not right there because why would you compare a bitch being rude at work to an officer putting they foot on someone's neck. I call like I see it and I'm usually never wrong. Ware is either a race baiter or mentally ill.

Well glee was like years and years ago. Perhaps she has grown up a bit. And at 30 realizes this could be her last chance.

The original complaint:

[quote] very rude to her on set, behaving with "traumatic microaggressions".

Now:

[quote] I was abused.

Microaggressions are equal to abuse. Seems like she escalating her claims.

er, are NOT equal to abuse. Perhaps she was abused, but there should be an investigation.

Once and for all, I’m not racist, I am a cunt. And my cuntiness does not discriminate.

People who do this kind of calling out love to talk about cancel culture really being "consequence culture." Well, fine then, what does Ware think the consequences of Lea being a bitch nearly a decade ago when she was in her twenties should be? Lea already lost an endorsement deal and probably lots of other work for a while. Should she just literally never be allowed to work again ever?

Samantha Ware should find out the meaning of Human Resources and use there services as neeeded.

The best part was the avalanche of people after her all saying "Yeah, Lea was a fucking cunt and a nightmare on set."

Thanks for that, Sam!

A cunt from the cradle, apparently

[quote]“I was @LeaMichele’s u/s in Ragtime. She was absolutely awful to me and ensemble,” Elizabeth Aldrich claimed via Twitter on Wednesday, June 3. “She demeaned the crew and threatened to have people fired if she was in anyway displeased. I used to cry every night from the mean and manipulative things she would do. She was 12. She was terrifying.”

R117 It seems rather incredible that a 12-year-old who did not have a significant role in the play could get people fired

How did I miss this whole theory that she’s illiterate?

^^It's Glee fan folklore.

Bitch better not mess with Tovah.

"microaggressions" are bullshit.

Lea is an equal opportunity cunt and wasn't any nastier to this troll than she was to everyone else.

Ware made her claims during the BLM mania because she saw other people getting attention and thought, "I need some of that!" She knows Lea isn't racist but purposely worded her claims as an attempt to make them seem so by using the loaded term "microaggressions".

That BLM mania period was used by some as a time for settling old scores, and was used by opportunists who didn't get a chance to #metoo someone by that point.

And you can tell from her most recent post she's turned this incident in her head into a pattern of racism committed against her, and it's effective among some idiots on Twitter who love to scold and remind people any time the person's name is mentioned that they are racist/transphobic/whatever the accusation was, it's elevated to pure fact and multiplied by twenty.

It sounds like Ware has become even more jaded and bitter in the meantime because she wasn't able to destroy Lea, and has elevated this in her own brain way beyond what actually occurred.

Also love the former child actor from ragtime who still isn’t over shit 24 years later. Can you imagine carrying on about some little bitch you dealt with at age 12?

And honestly stand the fuck up for yourself instead of crying every night. It was just another little white girl. Good lord.

Lea is a raging cunt but the complainers aren’t coming across much better.

Wonder what kind of conversation came before the infamous "shit in the wig" line.

You know how people usually skip what they did or said and go straight to how they were wronged.

[quote] “Lea is going to rehearse off-site, then come to the building to play the performances,” the source said.

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

From what it sounds like some of the women that Lea worked with kissed her ass bigtime to try to get ahead, so she let her guard down with some of them. All of the extras and season players were likely jealous as hell of the main cast.

A reminiscing quartet of Lea's OG Glee costars having some laughs at her expense here at 1:30

At this point the attacks on Lea just serve to make her a sympathetic and almost mythical figure. She is immortal, the UR Cunt, from whence all cuntitude flows.

Future cunts-in-training will light candles to pray to her for guidance and inspiration.

Did she sing Defying Gravity after that happened?

Lea is talented. Lea is a massive cunt. Both are true.

[quote] It's fun to read "WIG SHIT VICTIM!" in Fred Schneider's voice...

Or in Estelle Getty's.

R130 In Hollywood, and Broadway, they are rarely if ever mutually exclusive.

She really thought she had Lea cancelled for life .. what an entitled cunt.

It's interesting how they describe Lea as a bully yet what are they doing? Hearing that prissy bitch laughing at Lea "go flying" is really toxic and not funny. As if Chris and Amber were always sweet and innocent.

Well, if Beanie became such a wilting flower with this show, maybe a bully is just what it needs to whip it in shape and not be brought down by someone with a crushing inferiority complex?

It's a shonda!

Wig Shit is going to implode when Lea not only knocks it out of the park,but makes the show THE ticket to get. Just you wait. I think Amer Riley has a great voice,but the fact is she was never going to take off because shes fat. Fat dont sell.Not even in the fat world we live in. Lizzo is an aberration.

There are a lot of fat black women on tv and in the movies as the sassy, fat, black best friend. How else does Octavia Spencer get work? Amber will get work if she can be sassy. She already has the other parts down. Talent not necessary.

R134 Part of me wonders if some of Lea's reputation for being a bitch is just her standing up to these bully cabals that otherwise would run her over. You don't usually see her saying anything in public that is cunty, but there is a ton of evidence of people attacking her publicly and trying to bully her out of existence.

It's probably for the best that she has a high opinion of herself, keeps her above the flood waters.

[quote]'Glee' wig shit victim responds to Lea being cast in Funny Girl!

Lea Michele? Lea Nasty!

As a plus sized Queer woman Jewish role model, I feel Beanie really let a lot of people down. Will her career ever recover from this debacle?

She seems perfect for the role so who cares. Like she's the only unbearable person working in show biz.

[quote]As a plus sized Queer woman Jewish role model, I feel Beanie really let a lot of people down.

Wait, you're also a plus sized Queer woman Jewish role model?

Beanie should be listed in the other thread regarding miscast actors on B’way. Not talented enough, not a singer, no charisma, miscast.

My prediction is that Lea Michele will be on best behavior. Especially if it goes well and she's credited with turning a troubled show around. She'll grab on to that redemption arc and hold tight.

Now, if SHE gets bad reviews too and then is under stress as another casualty of Broadway's ill-starred Funny Girl, all bets are off.

As for Wig Shit Victim, I think we've all worked with someone we strongly disliked, sometimes for very good reasons. But when I go through faces and names of my worst past coworkers, I can't say I'd still be gunning for any of them after so many years have gone by and I'm not dealing with them anymore. Then again, I've never worked in the field of dramatic performance. I don't see how WSV feels this benefits her, beyond the short-term attention she's getting for Speaking Her Truth.

Now I'm trying to imagine social media in the golden age of Hollywood. "Bette Davis bullied me!" would get supporting comments and likes from all but about three women who had ever been in a movie with Davis. Then the hand-wringing would start. "She was great in All About Eve, but is it okay to nominate her for an Oscar?"

She looks perfect for the role.

Wig Shit Victim is depriving herself of all opportunity for self-improvement and growth (MARY!) by constantly attributing to racism events in her life. She's someone to whom things happen, by that reckoning, not able to influence the course of events and not responsible when things go wrong. Lea goes out and fights for what she wants.

[quote]What is her desired outcome here? That Lea Michele never work again? Should a Black person have been cast as Fanny Brice?

Yes and yes. Think of the most extreme reaction and, nine times out of ten, you've got these people's real desires.

Except not just a random black person but that she was cast instead.

[quote] What if you are a Japanese or Korean film and don’t have blacks in it, then no nominations? If you are an all-black film, will you be disqualified?

The answer is a big fat NO to your second question, R50. That would sound dangerously like consistency and equality. "Gurl, you already done had yourses. It's OUR time now."

Forget all the crap about all the races co-existing. The two aims are

A. As many black people as possible

B. No white people, as few Asians as possible, we will tolerate the occasional Latino (preferably Afro-Hispanic).

I’m definitely seein Funny Girl with Lea. Fuck the whiny haters!

You just know there's going to be some cast members ready to rush to the tabloids at the slightest hint of a problem with Lea or the slightest diva behavior. She will be walking on eggshells around the cast.

I hope they clear out anyone who is strongly in Beanie's camp. She seems like she will attempt to tank whoever comes after her. Wonder what her understudy had to go through to stay there when she got better reviews than Beanie.

And Jane Lynch looks like a total diva cunt herself for timing her leave right before Lea starts.

[quote]It's interesting how they describe Lea as a bully yet what are they doing? Hearing that prissy bitch laughing at Lea "go flying" is really toxic and not funny.

Telling anecdotes from their time on the show is 'bullying' and 'toxic' ?

This podcast and the one with Heather Morris and Naya Rivera are hilarious in no small part because these people don't take themselves too seriously and tell funny stories from their time on the show - including about themselves.

[quote] Yes, silence is complicity.

But she WAS silent for 10 years. The wig shit victim actually enabled 10 years of microaggressions from Lea.

Why doesn't the wig shit victim apologize?

Wig Shit Victim needed time for healing.

R143 At least she's not a bagel on a plate full of Jewish lesbian roll models.

It's a little pathetic trying to milk this incident again.

Lea is a cunt, but she was a cunt to everybody (who wasn't Jonathan Groff).

The truth is the tickets are selling and people have interest in the show again, and unlike Beanie (i don't share the hate for Beanie and i think she is talented but inapropiate for this show) she is perfect for the role

Ware wasn’t racially abused , she was bullied as the newbie. Lea has that popularity mentality when someone comes into HER house. She makes it known who queen B is. But she isn’t a racist. Amber Riley knows she isn’t one and made sure to say it. She can be a nasty cunt to people but still be sensitive to atrocities to people. Odd but true. She’s internally scared of her position like most cheer captains so she goes on the offensive (very Borderline Personality Disorder Like) Lea has never made N word jokes and she’s a fierce friend to all LGBT. This Samantha Ware has worn out the 15 minutes of fame shit 10x over with her “poor me, micro aggressions, triggered, racist blah blah “ comments. It’s been a decade STFU ITS OVER BITCH!

[quote]But she isn’t a racist. Amber Riley knows she isn’t one and made sure to say it

So did Ware, at the time. (Variety interview, June 11, 2020: "Am I calling Lea a racist? No. Does Lea have racist tendencies? I think Lea suffers from a symptom of living in this world in an industry that is tailored to white people.")

Yet Ware's supporters keep calling Lea a "proven racist" or similar wording, or alluding to her racist past.

Wigshit Microaggression girl needs to let it go…she’s actually making Lea seem likeable by comparison.

R154 that's true. Since microaggressions are violence, and since silence is violence, it's possible she was directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds due to the compounding violence effect. She should be ashamed.

R158 Amber Riley is no saint. She amplified Ware's message at first with an "agreeing with you" meme.

I know the entertainment business is unique but can you imagine tweeting something like that about a coworker from 10 years ago? The egos on these actors - so fucking extra. They also seem to forget that EVERYONE (not just actors) has terrible work experiences and shitty coworkers. That’s part of life. Dealing with some nasty bitch who has worked at your office for years when you first start out is nothing new. I would say 80% of us have had that experience.

R163 not exclusive to actors, it's a millennial thing. The "I've been here six months, why am I not promoted to management yet" types.

[quote]And Jane Lynch looks like a total diva cunt herself for timing her leave right before Lea starts.

Not at all, r152. It makes perfect sense for Tovah to start with Lea for a fresh rebranding.

Yes you’re right r164. I was hazed by horrible cunts at work in my 20s. But I figured that’s the way it goes and I moved on. If someone asked me about them now, I would say “ugh she was a real cunt” and that’s it.

Talking about abuse and tainted dreams… MARY!!!

R165 oh please. She knew how it would look. She could have stayed on for a week just to give some overlap and welcome the new cast member, but she chose to leave the day before. She didn't want a Glee reunion and she didn't want to be seen as supporting Lea.

R166 they're also ridiculously hyperbolic and dramatic. EVERYTHING is trauma.

I agree with R165 that it helps them rebrand, which the show desperately needs. It also helps Beanie save face since she's now not the only one being replaced. Also, while Jane Lynch is very talented, she's not much of a singer. Now that Lea's taking the lead it makes more sense to have Mrs. Brice also be played by a Broadway vet.

Seems like Ware had missed the memo that a thick skin was a must-have for a Glee cast member. Amber Riley said she learned how to advocate for herself on that set.

It was up to the Glee producers to set the tone and police misbehavior. Seems though that Lea Michele was indulged and it got even more to her head. After Cory Monteith's death, Ryan Murphy practically sanctified her as the 'grieving widow' who as a true professional buried her pain and let the show go on thus saving the jobs of cast and crew for a couple more seasons.

Murphy himself wasn't above the Lea act either. Jane Lynch said the producers went overboard with using every human weakness of the actors to make fun of their characters on the show. Very few were spared, mainly Darren Criss whose character was served backhanded compliments instead of the expected cruel insults. Lynch also blabbed that the cast used to call Criss "the politician" because he would cheer for anything the producers came up with.

R170, I can only imagine how Twitter would explode now with accusations that the producers were bullying Chord Overstreet by nicknaming his character Trouty Mouth.

R169 all very logical reasons, except for how they knew it would look. Most of that Daily Beast article is the producers concerned with how things might look.

Lea has her work cut out for her on that set.

[quote]She knew how it would look. She could have stayed on for a week just to give some overlap and welcome the new cast member, but she chose to leave the day before.

If there's some retooling of the show as suggested, it makes no sense for Jane Lynch to learn new blocking etc. with Michele just to have a a two weeks Glee reunion on Broadway.

It makes more sense to be paid off and take some vacay, she's likely already booked her next gig.

Ware doesn’t even understand being racially abused. Now George Floyd or Ahmad Abery were MURERED for their race. Period. They were abused and killed for being black. This Bitch was hired on a tv show known to be a glorified high school clique mentality and hated that she wasn’t the star. She hated not being handed a bigger role or more fan fare for being a black girl. She thought her race card was going to be punched on this show. Wrong. Lea Michele is a Broadway Bitch. She was in it since elementary school and that’s how she operates. She is an equal opportunity bully. BUT she IS NOT a racist or a homophobe. She didn’t even give a shit (literally) about this chick. Until Samantha Ware started talking shit about her , then it got Leas bitch mode activated. But it’s been YEARS now and Leas on Broadway and Samantha Ware is a BLM race baiter Zlister who uses social media to remind people she was once on a TVShow at the tail end of its crappy run. Gurrrrl get a life. You don’t know abuse and stop with the hot button words and phrases to spew your decade old lie.

Gracious R174, you seem to have some very strong opinions about this. You put a lot of thought into your comment. I just wonder if your opinion would be different were their races switched.

Well R175 considering I’m of mixed races , yes I would feel the same way so stop trying to be the saintly black activist you want to portray. I’ve had every facials epitaph thrown at me from every other race so I definitely know a racist when I see one.

"C'mon, if Tim Conway wants to improvise, you let him improvise. He'd even brought his granddaughter to the set because she was such a Glee fan. She ended up crying because she couldn't understand why someone was being such a bitch to her grandpa."

* I meant RACIAL not facial (damn phone!)

You aren't also going to address "epitaph", r178?

It’s ironic because Broadway is literally overdoing it on the black and minority promotion/overcorrection front. Not to mention all the narratively sloppy colorblind casting. These black Glee girls should be busy and not have time for this vindictive bs.

[quote] It was up to the Glee producers to set the tone and police misbehavior.

No.

Though they were playing high school kids, the cast memebrs were all adults. Adults should behave themselves.

Did Naya address Mark Salling and his trove of child pornography? Or just Lea not letting Tim Conway improvise?

Ok I do not support being a bitch to Tim Conway, the man was a legend. Though after all those years with Carol and Vikki, and I imagine Harvey, he was probably used to it.

[quote]Seems though that Lea Michele was indulged and it got even more to her head.

A story as old as the stage itself. I'm old enough to recall Kathleen Battle's rise and fall. If even half the stories are half true, she made Lea Michele look like a Care Bear. A combination of fame and adoration very quickly and early in her life, coddling and indulgence from management, and probably a genuine personality disorder.

Yes, 182, the clip of Naya talking about Salling is on the same YouTube channel as the one about Lea.

[quote]No.

Yes.

Naya Rivera was allegedly fired (then rehired) from Glee for that incident in R177 not because she had it out with Lea Michele. It was because she mouthed off to one of the EPs - Brad Falchuk - for 'running the show poorly'. She knew who was coddling diva behavior on set.

R185 - thank you. Will check it out.

R181 that's in an ideal world. In the real world, companies do not just run themselves, employees do not always work well together, and someone's idea of what constitutes "professional behavior" can be wildly different from another's. That is why you need referees in the form of management.

If you're an adult, you're responsible for your own behavior.

The end.

I once worked with a backstabbing cunt who tried to call herself bad mouthing me behind my back. I didnt even really know the bitch,and rarely interacted with her at work,plus I was brand new.A customer (who was also a semi friend) overheard her talking shit about me one day and clued me in. The next morning I requested a meeting with the manager and her,and I fronted that cunt right where she sat. I told her "I dont know you,you dont know me,and I DO NOT play these games at work so dont bother trying it" She stuttered and sputtered and tried to deny it but the manager knew who she was. She never even so much as glanced at me the rest of her time there (she got fired for stealing) . Ive had a million jobs over the years,and worked with a million people,and never have I had a bully issue because I tell them point blank,I am NOT the one you want to fuck with. Bosses too. Ive never been job scared and will walk in a nano second if Im treated wrongly. Black girl needs to move on,and stew on the fact she will never have a tenth of the career Lea has had.

R189 I know you think putting "the end" af the end of a statement means something, but it just says "I know my argument is vulnerable so I am trying to shield it from any potential challenge.*

This Ware chick is getting on my nerves. I'm actually starting to sympathize with Lea. She came after Lea when she was pregnant and probably more vulnerable, and then tried to paint her as a racist. Amber Riley and CC seem like mean girls themselves. And although it's tragic that Naya died, she was no saint herself.

Lea was a bitch but she's not racist, and those accusing her of shit hardly have clean records themselves.

Lea does seem like she genuinely has a personality disorder. She seems extremely obsessive and possessive. Remember all of those DL stories of her cockblocking Jonathan Groff at parties and lashing out when he tried to hook up with guys in front of her?

If Jonathan had a wig, I'd surely have shat in it!

When Ware fired off her wig shitting tweet, practically no one from the Glee cast came in Lea Michele's defense. The other actors had their close friends groups within the cast and crew but by that time she was left with only the Becca Tobin chick in her corner, and of course the producers, and this speaks for itself.

But when the twitter masses kept piling on her after the Ware tweet, Amber Riley told them something like 'you had your fun, the woman is pregnant, now behave.' Riley doesn't suffer any fools gladly, be it costars or fans with pitchforks.

Ware never said anywhere that Lea is racist.

That’s something DL made up

R196 you are wrong.

She used the word "microaggressions" which is a charged and loaded word that is interpreted as "racist". She intentionally used that word and it's obvious why, because Lea had just come out and given support to BLM. And as she tweeted more about it she dropped more hints. There's a fucking reason a lot of social media say to this day she's a "known racist" based entirely off Ware. Context matters.

So no, that was not something the DL just "made up".

R195 Again, Amber is no saint. She was one of the first to respond with a "that's right!" meme when Ware first made the accusation. Her later seeing how it had ballooned into a mass pile-on and telling people to back off because she felt guilty, does not give her a write-off pass.

Not to mention Ware also doubled down on it in the tweet at the start of this thread. She was reminding everyone that she was transgressed against partly because she was black, or at least she wants to give that impression. She knows what she's doing. She is clearly intentionally avoiding saying Lea is a big racist but she obviously wants to give that impression. It's totally disengenuous/willfully making an excuse for Ware to pretend that isn't the case.

[quote]I've had a million jobs over the years

God, you must suck at everything, R190.

Lea is pretty ugly, not sure why she has such an attitude. As someone who hasn’t watched Glee, I just YouTubed some of Michelle’s performances, including DROMP. I expected to be wowed- it’s adequate but she also doesn’t have enough talent for her shit attitude.

R200 where are you getting the "shit attitude" claim from?

[quote]Again, Amber is no saint. She was one of the first to respond with a "that's right!" meme when Ware first made the accusation. Her later seeing how it had ballooned into a mass pile-on and telling people to back off because she felt guilty, does not give her a write-off pass.

Hi Lea!

You don't have to be Lea to know the facts of what happened r202.

You should stick to the Meghan Markle threads where your type of reasoning is celebrated.

Her voice has a nice pure sound and a pleasant tone when she's not being super aggressive in her manner of performing a song, but it's just not that powerful in comparison to top shelf belters like Celine Dion or Stephanie J. Block.

[quote]You don't have to be Lea to know the facts of what happened

Hi Lea and Hi Lea's PR!

The drama was even reported across the pond by this British musical theater fan. Not about the wig, but of Lea getting role and Beanie being fired.

Stop posting your blathering videos here, Mickey Jo.

R203 But Amber was right, Lea was in fact a bitch to everyone on Glee. She simply said enough is enough.

The big problem with Ware claim is that she implies Lea is a racist from minute one, because the thing that make Ware react is Lea supporting BLM when everybody knows Lea is a cunt to everyone and not only to blacks

Lol. Zero people in England know or care who Beanie is.

R209 WRONG! My favorite lesbian Brit theater nerd Amy is covering it too!

Lea isn’t a racist. Lea equally bullied all races . Lea is also talented and should be Fanny Brice. Samantha Who?

Lea may be a cunt, but she is a dedicated professional on stage. She graduated from the Faye Dunaway Academy lol

Well, I hope Samantha Wear is happy, the first line of her obituary will being mentioning “wig shitting victim of Lea Michelle.”

R205

R208 The point was Amber joined in the drama right away at the beginning and helped amplify it, and then only once much later she felt guilty for it escalating way out of control did she say "ok, that's enough" as if that would do anything to stop the accusations of racism that continue to this day. It doesn't matter if Lea was mean to everyone on the set of Glee, only a half-wit would not know the implication of racism that Ware was making in her tweet in reaction to Lea tweeting in support of justice for a black man, and Amber appeared to agree with it initially.

So no, she doesn't get much credit after-the-fact for a lukewarm attempt to stop the massive pile-on she helped promote.

Not sure why that is hard to understand.

She really needs to move on. I was with her the first time she brought it out and everyone shamed Lea but get on with your life and career.

[quote]Not sure why that is hard to understand.

Which Glee fanforum did Lea's No.1 fangirl R215 waddled from? Half the posts here will disappear if you block her. Among them such gems as:

[quote]Part of me wonders if some of Lea's reputation for being a bitch is just her standing up to these bully cabals that otherwise would run her over.

Lea Michele the victim saint! Now that's a narrative.

To the eternal chagrin of R215, att the time Amber Riley was involved in the protests and didn't much care about the Michele drama. Nobody came in Michele's defense but other castmembers too, for instance Heather Morris, 'liked' or agreed with the general sentiment of Ware's tweet that a jerk doesn't get to use the BLM protests to get unearned cred.

Unlike R215, Riley and the rest of the cast knew first hand who Lea Michele is and how she was coddled by the powers that be. Everyone saw Michele's BLM instagram for what it was - insincere jumping on a bandwagon.

But what they didn't say is that Michele is a racist, they even publicly denied it. And they have moved on unlike the Ware chick who is digging in a deeper hole or R215 who can't stop bothsiding.

I've been in show business for 40+ years. Everybody is a cunt. Get over it! Show business is a choice, we are not entitled to ANYTHING. I'm so over this bullshit. "I don't feel safe." "You can't talk to me like that." It was a note, TAKE THE NOTE. "I can only do half the show tonight." Are you fucking kidding me?! The list of this nonsense goes on and on. Show up, do your damn job and quit fucking whining.

Dude your bullshit "omg anyone who defends Lea is her biggest fan" schtick is old and tired. You contribute nothing to any conversation and everyone hates you.

I also haven't posted "half the posts" in this thread, but nice try.

I notice you can't make any counterargument without lying, and when that doesn't work, attacking the person who is just stating the truth.

You are clearly very invested in this idea that Ware didn't accuse Lea of racism and also supporting Amber Riley. I think we all know why. You ignore facts and pretend things that happened clearly didn't happen.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, it's pretty clear that Ware obviously meant to imply Lea was a racist, and she additionally compounds it with her Twitter post in the OP.

Sorry you're mad about it.

[Quote] She used the word "microaggressions" which is a charged and loaded word that is interpreted as "racist".

No “microaggressions” does not automatically mean racism—it means any sort of bullying. Gays, for example, experience microaggressions from straight people all the time.

Again, Ware never calls Lea a racist. It’s DL, desperate to be racist back at Ware, which made that part up.

[Quote] I've been in show business for 40+ years. Everybody is a cunt.

So, it’s fine? Lea is bigger than most and for little reason—she’s a middling talent with a middling career.

Lea seems to be detested by nearly everyone who has ever worked with her.

From every cast—two Broadway shows and Glee—they absolutely deplore Lea.

How shitty a human being she must be to have built that much animosity

Get off the cross somebody needs the wood!

[quote] I've been in show business for 40+ years. Everybody is a cunt.

So, you're basically a cunt apologist then?

[Quote] The big problem with Ware claim is that she implies Lea is a racist from minute one, because the thing that make Ware react is Lea supporting BLM when everybody knows Lea is a cunt to everyone and not only to blacks

When when you’re black, and you see various people treat you and other black people like crap, you automatically perceive it as racism. Just like gay men would perceive it as homophobia.

Looking forward to the stories from backstage at FG

[Quote] Her voice has a nice pure sound and a pleasant tone when she's not being super aggressive in her manner of performing a song

We must be listening to different people?

Lea bulldozes through a song, without any sense of nuance. Plus, she’s really pitchy, thinking she’s Barbra

R220 if Ware wasn't black would you be defending her and Amber right now? I think not.

Pretend all you like, but she implied Lea was a racist, and many many others interpreted it that way as well, because to this day many are saying Lea's a "known racist" across social media entirely because of this incident. Ware challenged Lea on her sincerity for the supportive message she sent for justice for a black man, and used Lea allegedly saying mean things about her ten years prior as a reason why. And yes "microaggressions" is a loaded word that is used primarily for that purpose.

Ware also mentioned her race again in connection with Lea, at the OP tweet. She knows what she's doing and she knows how it looks.

R226 actually gay people don't see everything as homophobia, just the ones that are looking for perpetual victimhood. Perhaps you are mistaking us for the trans/nonbinaries.

I think you're projecting.

[quote]Microaggressions convey disparaging messages to people because they belong — or are perceived to belong — to a specific group.

[quote]and used Lea allegedly saying mean things about her ten years prior as a reason why

Five. Now seven, if we're talking about the latest "Broadway upholds whiteness" reengagement. Ware was a latecomer to Glee, in its sixth and final season in 2015.

Oh, that makes a big difference, r232.

Lea Michelle defending herself against charges of racism because of Ware's tweet. Also why she lost her sponsorship with Hello, Fresh, along with some backhanded comments by another colleague trying to insert herself into the conversation. Lea's defending herself against charges of racism because Ware clearly intended for her remarks to be taken that way.

[quote]“But, at the current moment, it’s 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…”

The desperate "Lea Michele is a victim" fangirl can't seem to get it in her tiny brain that several things can be true at the same time:

1) Lea Michele is a documented jerk and a bully who was coddled by the Glee producers. She tried to ride the BLM wave and people rightly saw through her bullshit and called her out.

2) Samantha Ware said her piece in the infamous tweet, and may have implied racism. Turns out years later she's still nursing grudges which aren't painting her in the best light.

3) Michele's past and present coworkers including black members of the Glee cast refused to brand her a racist. However, practically nobody came in her defense and many agreed she was a cunt and such behavior was tolerated in the industry.

4) During Glee, Amber Riley was bullied directly or indirectly by the Rachel Berry/Lea Michele fangirls on social media and various forums. We have one such example posting obsessively here. The nastiness grew out of their obsession with the 'gross' romance storyline of Riley's character and the one played by Chord Overstreet - said fangirls couldn't stomach a fat black chick bagging Trouty Mouth. Things escalated when the writers in their infinite 'wisdom' later made Trouty Mouth a love interest for Rachel Berry.

5) Riley was directly involved in the BLM protests and to her credit refused to get bogged down in the Lea Michele debacle As much as the Lea fangirl here tries to gaslight, it wasn't Riley's job to care about Lea Michele's reputation.

YOU are the bully, r235.

"Wig shit victim" is a hilarious evil nickname for her.

It's like Ruth Kligman from the Manhattan art world, whom Frank O'Hara brilliantly and cruelly dubbed "Death Car Girl" (a nickname which stuck with her for the rest of her life) after she survived the car crash that killed Jackson Pollack (the intoxicated driver at fault) and Edith Metzger.

Wig shit victim thinks Lea the cunt is “racist” for making fun that she wears wigs , right? In showbiz everyone wears wigs and fake hair.

The Ware chick has been working regularly, per IMDB, while Lea was cancelled for awhile. She needs to STFU, and maybe keep her wigs in a secured locker. Waiting for that other bitch Joy Reid to have her on to give her a platform to continue with this. It’s all attention seeking.

The only thing her Twitter comment is missing is "I'm so exhausted, y'all." Maybe she ran out of characters.

Shitting in a black woman's wig is violence.

R223 From three TV shows, actually. Abigail Breslin from Scream Queens and Yvette Nicole Brown from The Mayor both tweeted support to Ware and threw shade at Lea.

Getting revenge at someone who pissed you off can be satisfying. Trying to destroy her career, make her reputation even worse by adding racism to the diva behavior, and make sure she never works again in the process - which was clearly Ware's goal - is beyond retribution, it is a beheading.

Piling on with the angry mob isn't justice.

R243 It backfired on her ass, and now people sympathize with the cunt Lea. Wig shit victim is obviously a cunt as well.

R151 stunning and brave

Wig shit victim needs to open in a classic Broadway production revival in a Diva role and they can face off on in the NYC theater scene.

Bumpita for more tales of wiggery, shittery, and victimitude!
