While Riley would not comment on Michele, she did voice support for Ware. "I'm very proud of her for standing up for herself," she said, according to Entertainment Weekly. "I am proud of her not being fearful for speaking her truth…[Her] feeling was, 'I am not going to allow you to jump on what is happening now when you didn't treat me right.'" She also mentioned that the Glee set was "not the most comfortable environment" to work in.

Prior to Riley's Instagram Live, Heather Morris also claimed that Michele was "unpleasant to work with." Taking to Twitter, she wrote, "Let me be very clear, Hate is a disease in America that we are trying to cure, so I would never wish for that hate to be spread to anyone else. With that said, was she unpleasant to work with? 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."
