Did Lea Michele’s on-set diva antics finally push Naya Rivera over the edge?

wenn21194013

Naya Rivera’s broken engagement to Big Sean was and is a mess. It’s sad that more people don’t care about it, because this whole thing is drenched in some juicy scandal. As we discussed last week, Naya pretty much accused Big Sean of stealing a watch from her as they broke up, and Big Sean wants people to think that Naya is crazy and jealous. Of course, I tend to believe that Big Sean was fooling around on Naya, so she had a reason to be crazy and jealous, right? Right. Anyway, there’s a good blind item that many people think is about Naya and Big Sean and the BI basically says that Big Sean was banging one of Naya’s costars. Some people think it was Lea Michele. Which might have led to this mess:

Naya Rivera and Lea Michele were at the center of a near mutiny on the set of “Glee” that ended with one of them storming out in anger — but who left … depends on who you ask.

Sources close to Naya tell TMZ most of the cast and crew were annoyed on Tuesday by Lea’s diva antics — like making everyone else wait to shoot a scene … while she stepped away to deal with personal matters. We’re told tensions finally got so bad Naya “had the stones” to go to producers and let them know — on behalf of everyone — that Lea was pissing off people.

Our Naya sources say when Lea returned to resume shooting she got wind of Naya’s chat with producers — and left the set in a huff.

Now our Lea sources had a different take — telling us Lea was totally unaware of any complaints about her … and Lea and Naya weren’t even shooting scenes together. They also say it was Naya who got tossed off the set. We got several tips claiming Naya was fired — but Naya sources say that’s just not true.

Stories about Lea’s diva antics are a dime a dozen. As soon as she got even a modicum of fame, every single person who ever worked with her basically had the same story: she’s smug, she’s conceited, she’s rude, she’s difficult, she’s dismissive, and yes, she’s a diva. So after hearing it so many times, I believe it. But I do think that there’s probably a secret history of angst/bitchery between Lea and Naya. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Incidentally, Star Magazine had a good story about Lea and her career… on television. Because Star says that no one in Hollywood is really eager to see Lea make the leap to movie star. A source told Star: “Lea sees herself as a huge movie star. She thought that she’d have blockbuster roles by now, but all she gets are small film offers.” She should be happy she gets any offers, because, as the source continues: “she has a reputation for being incredibly difficult to work with. They’re worried she’ll encourage the cast to gang up against the directors and producers like she did on Glee.” Very interesting.

    Naya Rivera isn’t exactly Little Miss Innocent either. The only proof i need of that is her first single, where she calls out ALL of Big Sean’s exes by name and basically saying, “I win! I’m with him! In your FACE!”

    Also, the most important thing i got out of that blind was that the Kardassifying of Naya Rivera is well underway. And it’s sad because Naya was 103892657836458472809482 times better looking than Kim.

      Right? Such a tacky mess of a song.

    • MrsBPitt says:

      Plus there was a story a few years back, that she was Naya, was dating one of her co-stars and when he broke it off, she messed up his car…I think the girl has a temper!

    • Bridget says:

      What about all the rumors several years ago that Naya got her part on Glee beefed up because she was hooking up with a producer?

      Lea Michele diva stories were pretty common in the show’s first couple of years, but I’ve always thought she got a big slice of humble pie when the movie offers didn’t come in and when Glee wasn’t the hot new thing anymore. And really, I’m going to side-eye any story that has Naya Rivera as the level-headed person that sticks up for the rest of the cast and crew.

  2. HappyMom says:

    I think she’s very talented-but let’s face it-she’s no movie star.

  3. Dara says:

    Good God Naya looks like Jennifer Lopez. I know its been said before, but wow. Lopez is a beautiful woman, however Naya doesn’t look like a younger version. She looks like a 40 yr old Jennifer Lopez.

    • maybeiamcrazy says:

      She turned herself into worst combination of JLo and K. Kardashian. It is sad, she used to be really pretty.

      • I want to see what she looks like without that self tanner/bronze make up contouring her face, and then without that ombre hair…..I always thought her face looked plastic, ever since the first season of Glee–so she’s always had that look to me. I think her nose has always been shaved/weird.

    • kri says:

      That girl really screwed up her face. My god, what are these women thinking?! Messing with their (originally gorgeous) faces? Worst trend ever! As for Lea M. I watched maybe 3 episodes of Glee in the beginning & once I saw her, I never watched it again. I have a feeling this woman is a real b!tch. Hopefully she fades away after Glee.

  4. hunaww says:

    I dont think Lea is a talented actress.And this is why she doesnt get movie roles.Its not because she is difficult to work with .Dustin Hofffman,Christian Bale are also difficult to work with…

    • Uh, I’ve never heard any stories about Dustin Hoffman or Christian Bale getting the entire cast to gang up against the producers and directors on a set they were working on–the worst thing I’ve heard about Christian Bale is when he ‘yelled’ (more like lectured, seriously, I’ve been yelled at and cursed at more by my mom than what Christian said) at a crew member who kept throwing him off during a scene……other than that, I’ve read that CB is intense.

      I think Lea is talented, but let’s face it. She has three strikes against her—she’s a woman, she’s not ethnically ambiguously beautiful i.e. her nose (although I do think she’s very pretty), and she’s a pain in the ass, and thinks she’s the next big thing, when all she is is on a tv show that went downhill after the first season.

    More importantly when is this show getting canceled

  6. Talie says:

    Blind Gossip has been posting for months about Lea and Chris Colfer trying to get multiple people fired — Ryan Murphy must let them get away with murder. I guess he’ll keep them employed after Glee.

    • mom2two says:

      I just was going to point this out. Blind Gossip is detailing the supposed hatchet job Chris Colfer and Lea Michele were trying to do on Darren Criss.
      I have no trouble at all believing Lea Michele is a big PITA, there way too many stories about her on set antics. I think she needs to forget about a movie career.

  7. Bridget says:

    Diva antics aside, I do have to point out that the early contracts for the Glee Kids were incredibly restrictive – not only were they filming, they were recording, and there was even that massive Glee Tour. There’s a reason why almost none of the Glee Kids (some of whom actually are very talented) has any presence in movies, even when the show had basically exploded at the start. Glee basically owned those actors and actresses.

    • HappyMom says:

      I also think that while they’re talented musically they’re not especially fantastic actors.

      • Bridget says:

        Talent isn’t even the most important consideration when it comes to Hollywood 🙂 And these kids never really had the chance to strike while the iron was hot, save Dianna Agron (whose movie work isn’t really anything to write home about). Its not like they have time to return to their more natural home, Broadway, because they wouldn’t be able to rehearse and commit to a run, and movie musicals are out of the question because even in the rare case that they make one, it takes too much prep time.

      +1

  8. Ag says:

    oh, god. it’s frightening how much like a kardassian this woman looks.

    • mata says:

      Every time I see a fast picture of her these days, I think it’s Kim. I know some people see JLo. If she intends to have a career after Glee, those are not the two people she should be trying to imitate.

  9. blue marie says:

    I read this whole thing (and now commenting) but I’m kind of pissed that I did, I don’t care about either one of them and I care even less about Glee. Yet I still comment, so there’s that..

  10. Gayle says:

    I completely buy Lea is a pain in the ass exactly because there have been so many stories for so long, but I also believe Naya is no picnic to deal with either. I just cannot wait for the E! true Hollywood story of this show because I think behind the scenes is a mess. That many young, pretty people getting so much attention so quickly and all vying for success at the same time…

  11. TheCountess says:

    Dang, I thought that was Kimmode in the thumbnail. Who intentionally tries to look like her?

  12. Tania says:

    After that song she put our about big Sean’s ex, girl you deserve all of this.

  13. Debb says:

    The hack nose job and fake implants should have put her over the edge.

  14. Sari says:

    I know some plain Jane did not say naya is ugly because of her nose. Uh have you looked in the mirror lately? Nothing to be impressed about there, I assure you.

  15. Damaris says:

    Naya’s face looks so harsh in that photo. I think her “nose job” is just severe contouring.

  16. eva k says:

    And to think just a few years ago they were all unknowns just happy to have an acting job! What a difference a few years…and tons of fawning and adoration from the general public…makes! We make demigods of these entertainers, whilst our teachers and firemen make about 3% of the salary they make and get very little appreciation.
