Lea Michele signed poster being sold for $1800.

[Quiche2]

I have to disagree with anyone who says she is a diva or a bitch. I met her in NYC back in July and she was incredibly sweet and very open to photos, autographs, and short convos.

[Kad]

Yeah, well try working with her.

[Quiche2]

^^^^ I can't blame her. If I was an incredibly talented triple threat, and always working on a hit TV show, I would probably be a bitch as well.

[Kad]

Great. So you're a bitch, too. Got it.


FYI- that's a ****ty, ****ty, *****ty* reason to be a bitch.


There are plenty of stars- ACTUAL stars- who are kind people, who are pleasures to work with, and treat people with respect. People with Oscars and Grammys and Kennedy Center awards. People who have worked years or decades. These are people who are nice to fans, to the lowest people on the totem pole at a theatre, nice to everyone.

[Jordan Catalano]

That's awesome that you spent 2 1/2 seconds with her and she took a picture with you. Glad you can form a concrete opinion about someone after spending all of that time with them.

[TheatreDiva90016]

Quiche,

As someone who worked with her before she was on GLEE, I can tell you that she is a total C U Next Tuesday.

Stop making excuses for someone who you met once, for a brief moment.

[Kad]

TheatreDiva, you're in the wrong here. Lea Michele is a TRIPLE THREAT. She DESERVES to be a bitch.


And don't think that this is just the bitching and moaning of some disgruntled message board users. This is actually common knowledge in the industry. Everyone has stories, or have friends who have stories, about her bitchacity. No one will say she's a pleasure. No one.

[TheatreDiva90016]

Triple threat?

Is she a dancer?

Or is being a Bitch considered her third threat?

[Kad]

That's the impression I was under.

[Jordan Catalano]

She used to have a fourth threat but she took care of her with some hot tea.

[Kad]

The "triple threat" is actually her strategy for getting rid of competition.

[Jordan Catalano]

Seriously though, the girl is awful. C U Next Tuesday doesn't even begin to categorize what a needlessly vile person she is.

[Kad]

Also, deluded.

[Jordan Catalano]

Hopefully NYADA straightens her out!

[Kad]

Or it'll make her into an alcoholic. That'd be funny, too.

[Jordan Catalano]

Or a hooker. That'd be funny.

Guy on the street: Hey, baby.

Rachel: My name isn't baby, isn't Rachel. Rachel Berry. I'm from Ohio but live here now and go to NYADA. That stands for the New York Academy...

Guy: It stands for shut up and get in the car.

Rachel: Ok. That's a nice car. My teacher, Mr. Schuester has a car kind of like this but his is yellow and not black and it's a Honda and not a Lexus. He always told me that if someone...

Guy: Hey Rachel why don't we play that game where you only open your mouth when I'm ready for you.

Rachel: Ok that's fine. Finn always told me that I talk too much when I get nervous. He's my boyfriend...Oh, darn. Chico said I shouldn't talk about my personal life. He's my...boss. He told me payday was on Friday but that was a while ago and I think he forgot so I'll have to talk to him when I get back

Guy: What the hell...

Rachel:....plus my roommate Kurt said he'd help me practice my audition song for a new off broadway musical extravaganza at this big theater called The Duplex.


And it would just go on from there.

[Playbilly]

LOL! Kad, look at these posts, and the censor MINE! What a joke! (and they took down my thread). Maroons.

[Jordan Catalano]

Maroons is good.

[Wynbish]

I think you confused Quiche with "C U Next Tuesday"

[My Oh My]

Yow! I'm ignorant to all things Lea Michele but didn't think the rumors of her supposed super-diva-bitch-cobra-neck-attitude to be based on substantial truths. I'll reserve that judgement for if I ever witness her being loathy myself. She always appears to be nice from what I've seen of her.

I recall it started with dismayed Spring Awakening fans who claimed she'd either get spooked by the sight of them and skip off or she'd aim her nose up toward the open air upon being greeted. Yikes! Could have been butthurt, buttsore stagedoor eccentrics who wished to be her CHUMS and *kick it* with the scandalous SP star! You never know! I hope she's not a crabby bitch like moi!!!! =(

[Jordan Catalano]

No it started with her as a little girl in RAGTIME and got worse from there.

[evadiva]

I hope Rachel Berry gets hit by a sight seeing bus!

Lea Michele reads completely insincere as a person and performer.  She also seems completely in love with herself.

You know what else I can't stand?  She plays the "Poor me...I was told to get a nose job!" card way too often.  So you don't have the standard "Hollywood nose" Lea.   You are still beautiful enough to be on magazine covers and half naked in Maxim.  We're supposed to feel sorry for you cause you're not completely "perfect"?

The fact that she ever thought she could convincingly (and sincerely)  play Fanny Brice is just a complete joke.  I just can't buy that she would ever play down her beauty - she seems way too vain.

Ryan Murphy seems obsessed with her - no wonder her head has swelled to the size that it has.  I want to smack him for feeding that gigantic ego.  

That voice is completely gorgeous though - I will give her that.  Yes she's very talented - but so are so many other girls on Broadway!

Ugh enough of her already....

Rant over, sorry.  This thread seemed to be a good place for  haters to congregate.

[yankeefan7]

Kad - Yes, you are right that there are many stars that are quite nice. That being said, she is 25 and a lot has happened to her very quickly and gone to her head. In other words, she needs to get a grip on her ego and be shot down a bit professionally. I am willing to give her some more time to "grow up" and lose the diva attitude. I know I am a lot better person now than I was at 25. BTW - she was very cordial to my daughters at the stage door for "Spring Awakening" on a very cold night.

[Kad]

The thing is, yankeefan, she was like this before she hit fame. And there are plenty of gracious young stars without Michele's reputation.

[Jordan Catalano]

She's the same now as she was when she was 11 and in RAGTIME.

[TheatreDiva90016]

And the fact that the entire cast of Glee has gone on record about her snotty behavior...

Jeeze, some people just like to remain ignorant and blind to facts.
