Glee star Lea Michele loses sponsorship deal after co-star's claims - BBC News

HelloFresh has cut ties with Lea Michele after the US actress was accused of making one of her former Glee co-star's life "a living hell".

The meal-kit firm said it took Samantha Ware's claims "very seriously" and had ended its partnership with Michele.

Ware accused Michele of "traumatic microaggressions" after Michele posted a tweet about George Floyd's death.

Her tweet prompted a robust response from Ware, who accused Michele of conduct that had made her "question a career in Hollywood".

The actress went on to accuse Michele of stating publicly she would have defecated in Ware's wig had she had the opportunity?

Another co-star, Amber Riley, appeared to acknowledge Ware's claims by posting a gif of herself drinking tea on Twitter

HelloFresh said they were "disheartened and disappointed" to learn of Ware's claims about Michele, who was paid to promote its services on social media
