And That’s What You Missed on Glee!

I know. I’m talking about Glee. It’s been years, right? But there’s a reason.

And, no, it’s not a good one.

It also does involve the current climate of the country. Let me say that I am horrified by the actions of the former officers in Milwaukee and the death of George Floyd at their hands (or rather, knees and inaction). And I am angry that this is just the latest in a series of Black deaths caused by the police. Change needs to happen and America needs to confront and overcome our racial prejudices.

Black. Lives. Matter.

Our Glee saga began a week ago when Lea Michele (Rachel Berry) posted a tweet about George Floyd, much like many other celebrities (and people) had throughout the past couple weeks.

Then on Monday, June 1st, Samantha Ware quote-tweeted Lea’s tweet. Samantha played Jane Haywood during Season 6 of the show. In her tweet, she wrote that Lea made her first TV job a living nightmare, threatened to “shit” in her wig, and committed other microaggressions against Samantha during filming.

The Glee Project: I’m a Survivor

Last time on “The Glee Project”: Grant Gustin had nothing to do, so he stopped by to judge the remaining Gleekabes on theatricality. They perform “I Hope I Get It” from “A Chorus Line” and he chooses Ali as the winner. She gets a standout moment in the video, “When I Grow Up.” Her Katy Perry is safe as was Shanna’s Lady Gaga, Bland’s Boy George and Aylin’s Madonna. Michael struggled but his Elvis saved him, leaving the bottom three of Abraham, who struggled to embrace the androgyny of David Bowie; Lily, who didn’t play Cyndi Lauper; and Nellie, who was uncomfortable being sexy as Britney Spears. In the end, Nellie’s insecurity was her downfall and she was sent home. Seven Gleekabes remain, who will go down tonight? Find out!
