The 'Glee' star has continued to respond with humor to shut down the accusations that she's illiterate.

Conspiracy theories can vary between ones that are believable to ones that are completely insane. But the best part about conspiracy theories is how other people react to them.

Glee star Lea Michele has a bizarre conspiracy theory circling the internet that she can't read.


In an interview she talked about how sad the theory is.

“I went to ‘Glee’ every single day; I knew my lines every single day, and then there’s a rumor online that I can’t read or write?"
"It’s sad. It really is."
"I think often if I were a man, a lot of this wouldn’t be the case.”

The theory itself is pretty ridiculous but her response to the claim is perfect.

In a viral TikTok video, Michele referenced that singer and actor Barbra Streisand is set to release a memoir later this year. The video has over 9,000 comments and has been viewed over three million times.

“265 days to learn to READ!!!.”

As usual, the comments are hilarious.

Although, it's not entirely clear if they are meant as jokes or if the comments are serious.

*Let's assume they are meant to be jokes*.

Either way, they are worth the laugh.

Most people were encouraging.

Again, let's assume these are jokes... please let these be jokes.

It's great to see Michele responding to such a strange theory with humor.

We wish her all the best with her reading journey and will be waiting with bated breath for Streisand's book.

Marvel Just Confirmed That Chris Evans Is Returning For 'Avengers: Doomsday'—And Fans Have Mixed Feelings

Folks, once again, continuity is more of a suggestion than a rule in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has officially confirmed that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the internet has responded exactly how you’d expect: screaming, celebrating, arguing, and a very justified side-eye toward how Sam Wilson keeps getting treated.

The confirmation comes via a teaser now playing exclusively in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. There is no official online release, despite leaks circulating. If you didn’t catch it on the big screen, Marvel’s response is essentially: sorry, guess you had to be there.
