Chris Colfer Threw Some Epic Shade After He Was Asked If He'd See Lea Michele In 'Funny Girl'

Glee may have been off the air for seven years now, but that clearly hasn't dulled the harrowing experience of working alongside Lea Michele on the show if recent comments by costar Chris Colfer are any indication.

During a recent appearance on TV and radio personality Michelle Collins' SiriusXM show The Michelle Collins Show, Colfer had little love for Michele when Collins brought up her name.


When Collins invited Colfer to join her for an upcoming Michele performance as Fanny Brice in Broadway's Funny Girl, Colfer didn't just decline—he went full-on scorched earth in the most deliciously shady way possible.

See his comments below.

Obviously ribbing the actor, Collins told Colfer, "By the way, Chrissy, guess what I'm doing tonight. You should come," to which Colfer instantly interjected, his voice dripping with the sound of rolling eyes:

"Oh no, are you seeing Funny Girl?"

When Collins confirmed she was, Colfer deadpanned.

"Oh... My day suddenly just got so full."

He then tried to change the subject by saying he had recently seen the Broadway musical Six, but Collins was undeterred.

When she reiterated her invitation to Funny Girl, Colfer quipped:

"No, I can be triggered at home."

On social media, people loved Colfer's shady takedown of his former costar.










Colfer is only the latest former colleague of Michele's to publicly drag the actor who has become infamous for being difficult to work with and even downright abusive on set.

Several of her Glee costars publicly called out Michele's abuse on set, most notably Samantha Ware, who accused Michele of being racist.

Glee stars Amber Riley and Alex Newell also spoke out about Michele's racist and abusive behavior, as have actors who have worked with Michele on other projects like Yvette Nicole Brown.

Dave Coulier Reveals New Cancer Diagnosis Just Months After Beating Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Fans of Full House and of Dave Coulier, who played Joey Gladstone on the show, have been on a roller coaster in the past year, following Coulier along on his cancer treatment journey after he revealed that he'd been diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma and later deemed cancer-free.

Now, unfortunately, the journey continues, as Coulier revealed during an interview with TODAY after Thanksgiving weekend that just seven months after being declared cancer-free, he's since been diagnosed with a "P16 squamous carcinoma," which is a form of cancer that concentrates in the head and neck, and in Coulier's case, in his tongue.

Lilly Wachowski Shares How She Had To 'Let Go' Of 'The Matrix' After It Was Twisted By Right-Wing Theories

Matrix co-creator Lilly Wachowski has opened up about what it's been like to see her magnum opus The Matrix be co-opted by the far-right.

Anywhere you go in online spaces for the past 10-15 years, right-wing weirdos talk about being "red-pilled," a reference to the film's plot point in which lead character Neo is offered a red pill that will enlighten him to the realities of the systems ruling our lives, or a blue pill that will allow him to stay ignorant.

'Franklin The Turtle' Publisher Condemns Pete Hegseth For Turning Beloved Character Into Violent Meme

Kids Can Press, the Canadian publisher behind the beloved Franklin children's books, condemned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a statement after he shared an AI-generated image of Franklin the Turtle to justify his attacks on alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean.

Hegseth's original meme, which he inexplicably captioned "for your Christmas wish list," features a doctored book cover titled Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists and shows Franklin, the protagonist of the popular Canadian children's book series authored by Paulette Bourgeois and illustrated by Brenda Clark, firing a bazooka from a helicopter at boats in the water below.
