From an interview Lea gave: “And if Michele had it her way, she may never have left Glee either. “There were very few of us who lasted the test of time on Glee. A lot of people dipped in and out towards the end, but there wasn’t one episode I was not in,” she said. “And that’s because I really wanted to be 100% at that job.””
First of all, there WERE episodes Lea wasn’t in. It wasn’t many, but there were a few in season 4 she wasn’t in, so that’s untrue.
Second of all, this is basically saying the people who dipped in and out didn’t care as much, or were lazy, or that somehow she’s better than them.
I don’t actually know the exact reasons so many people took a step back from Glee, but I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that Ryan has decided his favorites, and Lea is one of them. He never really gave a damn about anyone not named Lea, so everyone else was viewed as expendable. Of course, she can’t say that if she wants to stay in his good graces. Which, whatever, we all know Ryan Murphy is a poisonous man. But to imply that Amber, Dianna, Kevin, Mark, Jenna, Naya, and Heather weren’t as committed to their job as Lea is fucking bullshit. It’s insulting a large group of people who don’t deserve it, just because Ryan never picked them as one of the Chosen Few. Fuck off, Lea. At least they aren’t stuck on a god awful show that no one likes.
Sorry, I had to rant about this. I saw that quote and wanted to explode in rage.
I hate to agree with things that are written on the lol tags but… This is true. I don’t know about the others, since I don’t follow their careers that much, but I follow Lea’s and Dianna’s, since they are BOTH my favorites but, what Lea said is so not true. Dianna worked damn hard during the last few years, once she was “done” with Glee, she decided to focus on her career. Every single year she got, at least FIVE movies done, she has her “photography” thing, too, and has her blog, of had, and she has so many other stuff outside of Glee. But Lea decides to call them all lazy? Well, maybe she should look more around her and see who is the lazy butt. They work hard to get their roles, while Lea gets their roles because the director likes her. She didn’t went to a freaking cast for Scream Queens, while Dianna has castings almost every single week, and yeah, whatever, you guys can hate me for saying this, but I do think Dianna is a better actress than Lea Michele. And once again, I love Lea, but Dianna have been working hard since she was 8 years old. She studied. She worked. She helped her family. Her friends. People who need her. She loves her fans, and makes sure to always have a smile for us. The crew and cast of every single movie/show she is in always likes her, and most of the time they make it sound like she is a golden girl. But what about Lea? All I’ve heard is bad stuff about her.
And yes, now people can unfollow me all they want, but I’m finally saying what I think is the truth.
Everyone that was part of Glee worked harder than Miss Lea Michele, and this comes from a Lea Michele fan, by the way, not a hater.
