Samantha Ware responds to Lea Michele’s apology as another Glee star comes forward

Lea Michele may be best known for her role as Rachel Berry in Glee, but the actress’ life in the spotlight started long before that, as she made her debut on Broadway at the age of 8, playing a replacement Young Cosette in Les Misérables. Three years later, she played Little Girl in Ragtime.Although she stepped away from the stage in 2009 when Ryan Murphy wrote the role of Rachel Berry for her specifically, her love for Broadway was written into the character.

Lea Michele‘s former Ragtime understudy has joined the slew of stars who’ve spoken out about her alleged mistreatment. Elizabeth Aldrich, who is now a self-care coach, took to Twitter on Wednesday, June 3 with numerous claims about the former Glee star, 33. “I was @LeaMichele’s u/s in Ragtime. She was absolutely awful to me and ensemble,” Aldrich wrote above a throwback photo of the two on set of Ragtime. Lea is pictured with her arm around her understudy at the time.

Lea Michele gave a heartfelt apology and admitted she was trying to get better day by day after Samantha Marie Ware called her out for her bullying behaviour and abusive language on the sets of Glee. However, Samantha Marie still doesn't seem pleased with her Glee co-star Lea Michele even after she apologised for behaviour and took a dig at the star on social media.

Samantha Marie Ware, 28, was not a fan of how Lea Michele worded her apology. However, she used it as an opportunity to clap back with her own wordplay. On June 3, Lea regretted how she was “perceived” in the past (a word she used twice) while apologizing after Samantha accused Lea of making her “FIRST TELEVISION GIG A LIVING HELL” and committing “TRAUMATIC MICROAGGRESSIONS.”

Samantha Marie Ware appears to have a suggestion for Lea Michele following her public apology. After Michele, 33, recently took to Twitter to express her support for the Black Lives Matter movement, Ware, 28, who appeared in the sixth and final seasons of "Glee," slammed the show's star for her alleged on-set behavior.
