Was Naya Rivera Fired From ‘Glee’ Over Lea Michele Feud? Rep For Actress Calls Rumors ‘Absolutely Untrue’

Back in mid-April, rumors swirled about an alleged feud between “Glee” stars Lea Michele and Naya Rivera. Some say that while shooting a scene on set, Lea supposedly took continuous breaks to deal with “personal matters.” Apparently, the cast and crew got mad and Naya took it as her job to go and tell producers that Michele was acting like a diva. Reportedly, when Lea found out what Naya did, she allegedly stormed off the set. However, other sources claimed Rivera was already upset and her issues weren’t with Lea.

Some even attributed her recent state to her broken engagement with Big Sean. Insiders close to Lea were saying that Naya had been in bad shape when showing up on set, and that she’d been acting very erratically. They went as far as to say that Naya has been clashing with a few cast mates and has been very unpredictable. This week, Daily News fueled the rumors even more, reporting that Rivera was fired from the Fox series, and her disagreement on set was with the producers and Lea’s name was “caught in the crossfire.”

The news outlet reported that Naya was “written out” of the season 5 finale and was not going to return to the sixth and final season. However, a rep for Rivera denied all the rumors going around. “Any reports or rumors circulating that Naya Rivera was let go or fired from ‘Glee’ are absolutely untrue. End of story.” Reps for “Glee” producers 20th Century Fox Television declined comment on Rivera's future with the series and speculation about the on-set altercation.
