In her statement, Michele apologized for being “perceived as insensitive,” which Warecriticized in a tweet.
“She said I dont deserve to have that job, Ware said.
She talked about how she has reign.
Im not here to be disrespectful.
But at that point, we were already past the respect and she was just abusing her power.
To make matters worse, Ware said no one on set stood up for her as they were afraid.
I remember the first day I actually spoke up and unfortunately no one did anything.
They just shrugged it off, like Thats her.
No one was stopping these things, which is an issue because the environment was helping perpetuate this abuse.
It shouldnt have to take my tweet.
“Does Lea even know what a microaggression is?
All that her apology did was affirm that she hasnt learned anything.
Am I calling Lea a racist?
Does Lea have racist tendencies?
A representative for Michele declined to comment on Ware’s allegations.
