Read our privacy policy Glee star Heather Morris has claimed that people were “very scared” to talk about co-star Lea Michele’s behaviour on set. Speaking on the podcast Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino yesterday, the actor said that the situation surrounding Michele’s alleged behaviour was “the elephant in the room” and was kept very “hush-hush”. And I don’t know why, because I was a cast member just like everybody else, and we all deserve to feel comfortable on set.” In the wake of Ware’s comments regarding Michele last year, Morris had previously tweeted that Michele was very “unpleasant to work with” but also stated that it was “also on us because to allow it to go on for so long without speaking out is something else we’re learning along with the rest of the society”. “I’m like, ‘Guys, she’s pregnant and all this stuff is going around, and… it’s true – and I don’t know if maybe we were victims of bullying and that’s a typical victim thing to do is to blame yourself.” At the time of the allegations last June, Michele was pregnant with her first child.
