Glee Costar Accuses Lea Michele of Making Time on Set 'a Living Hell': 'I'll Never Forget'
Lea Michele is being accused of tormenting a former Glee castmate.
On Monday, the Emmy nominee, 33, tweeted about the George Floyd killing, writing that the tragedy was "not an isolated incident and needs to end." In response to Michele's message, her former costar, Samantha Marie Ware, called her out for making her time on set "a living hell."
"LMAO REMEMBER WHEN YOU MADE MY FIRST TELEVISON GIG A LIVING HELL?!?! CAUSE ILL NEVER FORGET," she wrote.
Ware — who played Jane Hayward on the musical TV series for 11 episodes in 2015 — alleged that Michele "told everyone" that she would "s--- in [Ware's] wig." Ware also said Michele made other "traumatic" microaggressions that made her "question a career in Hollywood."

Reps for Michele and Ware did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
Following her first TV job on Glee, Ware went on to appear in shows like Margot vs. Lily and Netflix's What/If. Michele went on to star in Scream Queens and The Mayor — a comedy series in which she starred alongside former costar, Yvette Nicole Brown.
In response to Ware’s tweet about Michele, Brown replied to Ware's message and wrote, "I felt every one of those capital letters. ✊🏾"
