Amber Riley weighed in on the controversy surrounding her former 'Glee' costar Lea Michele, saying that 'I don't give a s—. People are out here dying.' Actress Samantha Marie Ware had previously accused Michele of making her time on 'Glee' a 'living hell.'
Speaking about Michele toward the end of her Instagram Live interview, Riley kept it diplomatic toward her former costar, saying she wasn't "going to say that Lea Michele is racist." However, she said theset was "not the most comfortable environment" to work in and was glad Ware spoke out. The conversation was the first time Riley publicly spoke about the situation.
"There were a lot of black actors and actresses that were in my inbox telling me their stories and were letting me know that they have dealt with the same things, being on set and terrorized by the white girls that are the leads of their show," Riley said. "We all know that a person of color and a black person is always the sidekick, it’s always number 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 on the call sheet. Very rarely are they number one if it’s not an all-black cast.
"We were even told, we were expendable. The colored girls, the black girls, are expendable," Riley continued. "I'm talking about the culture of Hollywood right now and how they treat black characters, black men, black women. I’m talking about the culture." "I wish Lea Michele well, I hope that she has an amazing pregnancy, I hope that she has grown," Riley said. "That [statement] she put out, I didn’t read it because I told y’all I don't give a s— about it…. She reached out to me, I responded to her and that’s where it ends for me. I ain’t talk to that girl in two years. I have no hatred or ill will on that end."
