Lea Michele Sarfati is an American actress, singer, and author. She began her career as a child actress on Broadway, appearing in productions of Les Misérables, Ragtime, Fiddler on the Roof, and Spring Awakening. In June 2020, actress Samantha Marie Ware, who worked with Michele in late 2014 during Ware's recurring role in the sixth season of Glee, accused Michele of being very rude to her on set, behaving with "traumatic microaggressions". Ware made her comments in direct response to Michele having posted a message on social media saying "George Floyd did not deserve this. This was not an isolated incident and it must end. #BlackLives Matter". Other actors who co-starred with Michele, Heather Morris, Alex Newell, Melissa Benoist, and Amber Riley, made statements in corroboration with, or liked Twitter posts confirming that Michele had displayed rudeness to others on set, but Riley and Morris verbally disagreed with the implication of Michele being racist. Michele responded with an apology, noting that the comments from numerous cast members in response to Ware's accusation had made her aware that her general treatment of all cast members during those years was "insensitive or inappropriate", a sign of "immaturity", and that she was "unnecessarily difficult" towards others around her, and she would "keep working to better myself and take responsibility for my actions." On June 2, 2020, HelloFresh announced they had ended their partnership with Michele. Michele began working with actor Cory Monteith in 2008, when they were cast as love interests on Glee.
