Are Lea Michele’s bullying days over?
A source told Us Weekly the Glee alum is hoping to learn from her past mistakes weeks after former co-stars put her on blast for allegedly creating a hostile work environment.

The insider shared:
“This experience has made her reevaluate her behavior in the past. This has been a serious learning lesson and she is committed to making these adjustments as a complete life change for the future. She is listening to those who have come forward and has been reaching out to initiate open and honest conversations.”
For those who don’t know, the 33-year-old actress’ solemn Black Lives Matter tweet backfired when it inspired former co-star Samantha Ware to publicly call Lea out for her past behavior.
The 28-year-old actress wrote in response:
“I BELIEVE YOU TOLD EVERYONE THAT IF TOU [sic] HAD THE OPPORTUNITY YOU WOULD ‘S**T IN MY WIG!’ AMONGST OTHER TRAUMATIC MICROAGGRESSIONS THAT MADE ME QUESTION A CAREER IN HOLLYWOOD.”
More of Lea’s co-stars chimed in after Ware’s claims made headlines. Spring Awakening actor Gerard Canonico alleged the actress was “nothing but a nightmare” to the understudy cast of the Broadway show, while Glee alum Heather Morris noted Lea was “unpleasant to work with.” Elizabeth Aldrich, the Emmy nominee’s understudy in Ragtime, said she “used to cry every night from the mean and manipulative things” Michele allegedly did.
Michele broke her silence on the claims shortly after HelloFresh announced it was ending its partnership with her, admitting she “clearly acted in ways which hurt other people.” She said in an Instagram post:
“Whether it was my privileged position and perspective that caused me to be perceived as insensitive or inappropriate at times or whether it was just my immaturity and me just being unnecessarily difficult, I apologize for my behavior and for any pain which I have caused. We all can grow and change and I have definitely used these past several months to reflect on my own shortcomings.”
Meanwhile, another source who previously worked with the star told Us that she was “completely self-obsessed” and “she did not discriminate” when it came to abusing others.

The insider said:
“It didn’t matter if you were young or old, black or white — it’s just kind of her world.”
In other words: she was awful to everyone!
