From Cosmopolitan

• Cast members from Glee have called out Lea Michele for hypocrisy and on-set racism.

• Lea's brand partner HelloFresh has ended their partnership with her "effective immediately."

Yesterday, cast members from Glee hit Twitter to call out Lea Michele for a pattern of racist behavior on the show's set. And now it looks like HelloFresh has ended their partnership with her. In a statement on Twitter, the company—who makes meal kits—wrote "HelloFresh does not condone racism nor discrimination of any kind. We are disheartened and disappointed to learn of the recent claims concerning Lea Michele. We take this very seriously and have ended our partnership with Lea Michele, effective immediately."

As a reminder, Lea's co-star Samantha Ware revealed her racist on-set behavior, tweeting “LMAO REMEMBER WHEN YOU MADE MY FIRST TELEVISION GIG A LIVING HELL?!?! CAUSE I’LL NEVER FORGET. I BELIEVE YOU TOLD EVERYONE THAT IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY YOU WOULD ‘SHIT IN MY WIG!’ AMONGST OTHER TRAUMATIC MICROAGGRESSIONS THAT MADE ME QUESTION A CAREER IN HOLLYWOOD….”

The tweet was followed by other instances of Lea's racism from Dabier and RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Willam Belli:

Meanwhile, Amber Riley tweeted a sipping tea gif:

Lea has since posted a statement to Instagram, saying that she "doesn't remember" the instances on set, but that she "clearly acted in ways which hurt other people." She went on to apologize for her behavior and said she will be "better in the future from this experience."
