The 33-year-old pregnant actress and singer took to Instagram on Wednesday morning to release a statement after being accused by Ware, her former Glee co-star, of making her "first television gig a living hell.".

Ware posted a message in response to a tweet Michele shared in the wake of George Floyd's death.

#BlackLivesMatter," Michele wrote!

Several days later, Ware responded to her former co-star's message, writing, "LMAO, REMEMBER WHEN YOU MADE MY FIRST TELEVISION GIG A LIVING HELL?!?.

Without naming her co-star, Michele referenced Ware's post as well as the posts of other co-stars in her apology, writing, "When I tweeted the other day, it was meant to be a show of support for our friends and neighbors and communities of color during this really difficult time, but the responses I received to what I posted have made me also focus specifically on how my own behavior towards fellow cast members was perceived by them.".

As for what was said about her behavior on set, Michele wrote, "I don't remember ever making this specific statement and I have never judged others by their background or color of their skin?

Open your purse??????????????" Ware wrote alongside a link to the fundraiser. .

Shortly after Ware's initial tweet about Michele, Dabier Snell, who had a minor role in a 2014 episode of Glee, also retweeted Michele, writing, "GIRL YOU WOULDN'T LET ME SIT AT THE TABLE WITH THE OTHER CAST MEMBERS CAUSE 'I DIDN'T BELONG THERE' F**K YOU LEA.".

Alex Newell, who played "Unique" Adams on the series from 2012 to 2015, retweeted Ware's clap-back and added a RuPaul's Drag Race GIF, reading, "Get her, Jade!" .

Though she didn't directly reply to any tweets, Amber Riley, who portrayed main character Mercedes Jones throughout the Ryan Murphy series, posted several GIFs shortly after Ware's message was posted that fans thought could be in response. .

Riley later shared a GIF of her saying, "Let's move on." She captioned the post, "#DefundThePolice #prosecutekillercops #BlackLivesMatter."

You were nothing but a nightmare to me and my understudy cast members," he wrote in a response that appears to have been deleted

This isn't the first time Michele has been the subject of a co-star's frustrations
