But at the same time, in my inbox there are a lot of Black actors and actresses telling me their stories and letting me know they have dealt with the same things on set, being terrorized by the white girls that are the leads of the show,” Riley said. She’s also pregnant and I think that everyone needs to chill. That was the assumption because of what’s going on right now in the world and it happened toward a Black person,” Riley said. “I’m not going to say that Lea Michele is racist. The “Glee” star stood by Ware’s comments and said she’s had other Black actors and actresses tell her similar on-set stories in an interview on “Real Quick with Danielle Young.” Riley, who was part of the “Glee” regular core cast for all six seasons, alongside Michele, not-so-subtly weighed in by posting a few GIFs of herself, including one where she is sipping tea. Michele’s rep has not responded to Variety‘s repeated requests for comment. Despite her apology, the accusations continue to roll out from actors who worked with Michele on “Glee,” ABC’s “The Mayor,” Fox’s “Scream Queens” and the Broadway show “Spring Awakening.”
