‘SHE SHOULD BE CALLED OUT’

Glee’s Heather Morris buries Lea Michele

-

Heather Morris has become the highest-profile Glee star to attack former castmate Lea Michele, revealing the actress was very unpleasant to work with.

The mom-to-be has lost a lucrative deal with food delivery service HelloFresh over recent allegation­s about her bad behaviour on set, sparked by remarks Samantha Ware made at the weekend, and now 33-year-old Morris is speaking out.

The actress and dancer, who played cheerleade­r Brittany S. Pierce, took to Twitter and made it clear she feels it’s time her former co-star was “called out.”

“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,” Morris wrote. “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.” Meanwhile, another former

Glee star, Naya Rivera, who first came out and accused Michele of being unpleasant on set, has joined the likes of Ariana Grande and Keke Palmer and unfollowed the actress.

Michele has apologized for her past behaviour, releasing a statement which reads: “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 people’s perspectiv­es and any role we have played or anything we can do to help address the injustices that they face...”

Ware has responded to Michele’s apology by urging her to donate to a GoFundMe campaign for Omaha activist James Scurlock, who was shot and killed during a recent Black Lives Matter protest.
