    The character of Rory had a lot of potential and Damian's talent was underutilized. I think this was true for a lot of the actors on the show.

    People grow and change. We just saw Lea Michelle on Broadway, she was meant for that part. The chemistry with her cast is noticeable. She and her male lead seemed to purposefully try to make each other laugh, and it worked it was really funny when they broke character. Hoping all can forgive and move on. Glee was/is one of our favorite shows, the talent by all was phenomenal.

    Amber Riley came out a while ago and said Lea isn't a racist. And I'm pretty sure Amber wouldn't lie about that because she doesn't even like her and had no reason to lie about it. She acted like a diva and apparently didn't treat people well that she felt were beneath her regardless of race. Not excusing her for being a b*tch when she was younger, but continuing to circulate a false narrative about her being a racist is wrong. She clearly had behavioral issues on set, so I don't blame people for not liking her

    She mistreated anyone so it wasn’t only people of colour that were targeted. In saying that, in reference to the comment above I’m not sure how important it is to distinguish that she’s not a “racist” as if you are either a. A non racist or b. A racist. Everybody has some prejudice and internalised racism but Lea time and time again has expressed micro aggressions, so just because she’s horrible to white people as well, I don’t really think it means she’s *not* racist.
