Lea Michele's 'Glee' Costars Emerge In Her Defense Amid Racism Accusations

After days of being slammed online and recent accusations of racism against Lea Michele, two of her former "Glee" co-stars have come forward to share their drastically different experiences.

Iqbal Theba and Dean Geyer, who played Principal Figgins and Michele's on-screen boyfriend, Brody, respectively, on the popular Fox musical comedy-drama, spoke out in defense of the 33-year-old actress.

In a tweet, Theba shared, "Lot of people r assuming that @LeaMichele mistreated me. Let me state it clearly that I was never mistreated by her. And if some of the cast were treated badly then she has apologized for it which is wonderful."

"But being called a racist is too heavy & unfair a burden 4 most of us, specially in these troubled times," he added. "So, please be compassionate, careful & responsible before we accuse anyone of this horrible thing called racism."

Geyer echoed the same sentiment when speaking with Daily Mail, "Lea is still one of my favorite costars that I have had the pleasure of working with," calling her, "extremely hard working and super fun to be around."

Their support comes after Heather Morris previously added her two cents, not necessarily in defense of Michele, but reminding critics that they shouldn't assume.

"Was she unpleasant to work with?" Morris rhetorically asked. " Very much so; for Lea to treat others with the disrespect that she did for as long as she did, I believe she SHOULD be called out."

In any case, these three statements are on the complete opposite spectrum than what was expressed by fellow "Glee" alum Samantha Marie Ware, who mocked Michele after she posted in support of Black Lives Matter.

"LMAO REMEMBER WHEN YOU MADE MY FIRST [TELEVISION] GIG A LIVING HELL?!?! CAUSE ILL NEVER FORGET," Ware recalled. "I BELIEVE YOU TOLD EVERYONE THAT IF [YOU] HAD THE OPPORTUNITY YOU WOULD [expletive] IN MY WIG!' AMONGST OTHER TRAUMATIC MICROAGRESSIONS THAT MADE ME QUESTION A CAREER IN HOLLYWOOD…"

Michele issued an apology in response to the accusations on Wednesday.

"What matters is that I clearly acted in ways which hurt other people," she wrote. "One of the most important lessons of the last few weeks is that we need to take the time to listen and learn about other people's perspectives and any role we have played or anything we can do to help address the injustices that they face."

"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," she continued.

"We all can grow and change and I have definitely used these past several months to reflect on my own shortcomings," Michele added. "I am a couple of months from becoming a mother and I know I need to keep working to better myself and take responsibility for my actions so that I can be a real role model for my child and so I can pass along my lessons and mistakes so that they can learn from me. I listened to these criticisms and I am learning and while I am very sorry, I will be better in the future from this experience."
