Roughly an hour after Michele’s casting was announced, Samantha Ware, who appeared in the final season and previously accused Michele of making “my first television gig a living hell,' voiced her hurt and exasperation with the situation

On Monday, the Broadway production announced that the former Gleek would be replacing Beanie Feldstein as Fanny Brice, sending Twitter into a tizzy of Glee memes and hot takes.
Lea Michele has been campaigning to star in Funny Girl for years, ever since she sang “Don’t Rain on My Parade” in the season-one mid-season finale of Glee in 2009. Her character on the show, Rachel Berry, even ended up starring in a Broadway revival of the musical, and when Michele posted the casting announcement on Instagram, she wrote, “A dream come true is an understatement.
When it was first announced that Feldstein would be playing Fanny Brice on Broadway, Lea Michele trended on Twitter as people imagined her jealousy at losing out on the role. Now, just a handful of months later, Feldstein announced on Sunday that she would be leaving the Funny Girl revival ahead of schedule, writing on Instagram that “the production decided to take the show in a different direction.” And less than 24 hours later, Michele landed the gig. The D-R-A-M-A.
Michele kept a low profile after the wave of allegations of toxic behavior, only recently returning to the spotlight to celebrate the anniversary of Spring Awakening. Now some are calling out her invitation to return to Broadway and questioning whether she’s actually changed. Roughly an hour after Michele’s casting was announced, Ware voiced her hurt and exasperation with the situation, writing on Twitter, “Yes, I’m online today. Yes, I see y’all. Yes, I care. Yes, im affected. Yes, I’m human.
