Actor Iqbal Theba, 56, who played Principal Figgins on ‘Glee’ is coming to the defense of Lea Michele!
Michele has been publicly called out for treating others badly during her time on the hit show; but Iqbal claims publicly on Twitter today: “Lot of people r assuming that @LeaMichele mistreated me. Let me state it clearly that I was never mistreated by her.”
He continues: “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. So, please be compassionate, careful & responsible before we accuse anyone of this horrible thing called racism. I love each & everyone of my fellow cast members from our great show @OfficialGLEEtv Be safe & be well. Much love.” Take a look at his message below and let us know what you think…COULD LEA MICHELE HAVE PAID HIM FOR HIS DEFENSE???
2/2 of us, specially in these troubled times. So, please be compassionate, careful & responsible before we accuse anyone of this horrible thing called racism. I love each & everyone of my fellow cast members from our great show @OfficialGLEEtv Be safe & be well. Much love ❤️
