Yesterday afternoon, I emailed this story to CB, asking her if I should cover it. We were both wishy-washy on it, because our perspective on Lea Michele is totally skewed. In the history of Lea Michele’s (perceived and actual) bitchiness, this story just seemed… meh. But I’m doing it, I suppose, because everybody likes talking about Lea’s latest incident of bitchiness. Here’s the story, via E! News:
A few Glee stars ditched New Directions this weekend and hit Coachella in the desert to watch other people sing for once. Lea Michele, Chord Overstreet and Harry Shum Jr. all checked out the concerts together from the VIP area Saturday, where one of them was trying to go incognito.
“Harry introduced himself to two girls as Jerry from San Luis Obispo and said he was unemployed,” an eyewitness reports. “The girls played along even though they knew who he was.”
But when one girl jokingly called “Jerry” over to sit with them later, Lea couldn’t resist making fun of her…
“Lea started laughing and imitated her in a high-pitched voice,” the onlooker said. “She was totally mocking her for no reason.”
Lea was all smiles later while hanging at the Lacoste and HTC pool party on Sunday, where Katy Perry, Kellan Lutz and Alexander Skarsgård were also spotted.
Chord and Harry ditched Lea later and caught up with another Gleek at the Armani Exchange Neon Carnival Saturday night. They hit the late night bash with Mark Salling.

So, Lea was trying to be a snot, but she ended up looking like she wasn’t really in on the joke, right? And who thinks that this is just Lea’s normal behavior whenever people don’t pay enough attention to her? That’s what Lea reminds me of: a needy child who acts out to get attention. She was probably truly offended that Harry Shum and Chord weren’t both trying to get into her pants.
By the way, on Twitter yesterday, I asked who you guys would rather smack, Lea or Kristen Stewart. The only rule is that you can only smack one of them, and you have to leave the other unscathed. Although I definitely think both have earned it, I would choose K-Stew, mid-eye-roll.

Lea for the smackdown! Don’t even watch Glee, but I’m SO sick of her smug muppet face popping up all over the place! Ug, grow up!
Muppet face is right. SOOO sick of these flash in the pan ‘actors’ who believe anyone really gives a sh*t about them. Watching them pose and preen at events – omg, it’s f*cking laughable.
Oh, Lee, definitely.
I’d smack Lea
Why is everyone focusing on Lea and no one is calling out Harry Shum for lying to those girls? And honestly what Lea did just sounds like something most people have done at some point. Can you honestly say you or your friends have never imitated a girl or guy who was acting like a ditz? I’m not a fan of Glee or Lea Michele, but I do think people are often much too hard on her.
Definitely Lea she’s mean and bitchy whereas Kristin’s just stuck on herself.
Bitch slap her pleasssssssssssseeeeeeeee
Right on GeekChic, I’m not a fan of hers, but she mocked a stupid fangirl. Big fucking deal. The guy lied to them for no reason. What a douche. That should be the story here, although it’s pretty lame too.
I would smack LEA 100% of the time.
In fact, if any of my fellow posters can’t decide or are against violence, can I use your smacks as well? And yes, they will all be used on LEA.
@Geek Chic…I totally agree! When I was her age, I definitely would have done the same to some stupid girls who were probably drunk and obnoxious.
Oh, and I would definitely smack Kristen! Well actually I probably wouldn’t because violence is never the answer but I would want to.
I don’t see her having much of a career after Glee ends. She better suck on it as long as can because her days are numbered.
Definitely Lea Michele. That little bitch is always trampling on my last nerve. As a matter of fact, after I slap her, I might need to kick her too.
Too much testosterone during puberty…
Who the heck does this little girl think she is? I’ve read a few articles in which they clearly stated that she is a royal BITCH!
I’d smack Lea, she’s so pretentious and up herself it’s sickening. Kirsten’s just really awkward, and the video of her dodging the kiss from Rob wasn’t mean at all! She didn’t even eyeroll the paparazzi. She just didn’t want to kiss him while 100 paparazzos snapped fotos of them. If I were in her shoes I’d do exactly the same thing, I’d hide from all those flashbulbs!
She’s probably a pill, but I actually don’t find this instance to be…that bad? If it were me, I’d say that more to make fun of my friend’s stupid lie, not the girl. You know? “Yeah, JERRY. Ass.”
Oh, man. Two minutes of my life spent defending Lea Michele. *face palm* Sorry, guys. Please don’t turn on me.
I think that was Harry’s attempt at flirting. That’s the way it came across to me anyway.
Kristen just seems like a snot where Lea, well she’s that special breed of c*nt. Lea gets the slap.
I hate Lea! she’s a theater kid cliche.
I don’t like Lea but come on I mock people all the time LOL it’s not that bad!
Lea. Definitely, definitely Lea. She’s the reason I don’t watch Glee. Cannot stand her. At all. She acts like she’s Meryl Streep, and she’s got nothing to back it up. K-stew is harmless. Mostly acts like she’s looking for her next joint.
Forget smacking Lea, I’d kick her right in the balls. She is just ugly. Inside and out.
I’d smack Lea Michele all day. & I’d let all 4 of my dogs poop in her shoe.
I’m a Gemini, so one of me gets to smack Lea and the other one Kristen.
And tomorrow I’ll be back to smack Goopy and Eva L, formerly L-P.
Mean girl rule: if you’re going to be a nasty bitch, you’ve got to be incredibly pretty. When ugly girls are mean, it’s just sorta sad…
most disturbingly for me is that fact that she constantly tries to bring the sexy face with -well- THAT face
I also don’t watch Glee, but this girl isn’t all that. I think she looks cookie cutter bland. ANd, I hope her 15 mins end soon.
she’s got man shoulders.
I’d totally rather smack Lea. smile and then smack her again. ;-P
ugly man-bitch.
I’d smack Lea. I’ve never detested a celebrity, like I detest her. K-Stew may seem immature, but I think shes very intelligent and doesn’t beg for attention. I don’t think she would ever pick on a fan either. At the worst, she would give an eye-roll, bite her lip, and walk away. Even though she definitely needs to work on her public image, I think I would get along with her jaded disposition before I ever shared anything in common with Princess Lea. I just want her career to plummet, so we can start seeing her obnoxious, rat face on Lifetime.
Anyone else notice her eyes appear to have a demonic red glow about them in these photos?
I don’t care for Lea, and really don’t care for Kristen. So I’d have to vote to bitch slap Kristen.
Either way, they both need to get over themselves.
This story sounds like BS to me but wow, the hate for this girl is wild.
Lea, and God I’d slap her but good.
Lea. A thousand times that pretentious, rude, jerk. As for Kristen, I really don’t think she eye-rolled. She looked embarrassed and Sparkles looked like he thought it was funny. I don’t get the Kstew hate, really. She’s a young, awkward girl, who has admitted to being very socially awkward. I get that. (And no, I’m not a Kstew fan…have never seen anything she’s been in.)
Lea Michelle seems like a total c*nt.
Lea is definitely the biggest C.U.Next.Tuesday of the two. Her self-righteous attitude makes no sense to me!
I am a K-Stew fan (sue me), so I really like this poll b/c it brings things into perceptive about the hate people generate towards her, when compared to this snot.
Kristen is overall harmless, so cut the chick some slack in her awkwardness that may not translate well in pictures/videos.
Lea is just mean, has a history of being completely self-absorbed and entitled. She really dug herself a grave, and wont be around for as long as Kristen will.
For some unknown reason I don’t care for her. She tries to exude glamour and beauty but she not at all pretty… she looks like a Jim Henson reject.
I got my backhand all warm for that smug face of hers…can’t wait for that stupid show to be cancelled and her to go back to “the THEATAH”!!
i’d smack lea, GLEE-fully [hah, couldnt resist!]
Lea. Like this chick will have a career in 5 yrs? and she’s acting like a stuck up b-tch?
Lea strikes me as a girl who wasnt popular growing up and doesnt know how to handle her new found popularity. She was obviously jealous of these girls talking to her male friends who had more interest in the girls than her.
Can I smack one and kick the other?
Stories like this are always out of context. You can tease or mock someone without being ‘nasty’ sometimes its part of an ongoing joke and sometimes peoples attempts at humour just fall flat. Situations like this always look different to an observer. She could have been targeting it towards ‘Jerry’ or it could of been the girls – at the end of the day shes not beating up people/crashing cars/taking drugs that we know of. She just appears to have a personality that isn’t all sugar and puppies.
I think her ego is going to cause massive pain if she crashes and burns when Glee gets cancelled.
I wouldn’t smack either of them (unusual sentiment for me). I couldn’t be bothered [eye roll] 🙂
I would smack the mess out of Lea!!!
she just plays right into the “bitch” everyone is labeling her as.
She’s sooo busy begging Kim KarTRASHian on twitter to have dinner with her, saying she misses her…
she’s got it alllll wrong…
Lea…
She seems more outwardly bitchy (making fun of people, and going out of her way to be a bitch) whereas KStew just seems to be brooding and more into her own head…
Sounds like she has a crush on Harry and got jealous of the girls.
Maybe the other girl was really pretty and she felt threatened.
Or maybe she was jealous that Harry had adoring fans and maybe that didn’t sit well with her Diva-o-meter.
Whatever the case, if it’s true then that was a really immature and rude thing to do. That girl might have been her fan too. She should remember that she’s only a high schooler on TV and in real life she’s in her mid-20s.
Harry or “Jerry” is the real loser in this story to me. Maybe Lea was mocking harry but it came off as mocking the girls. I think shes a brat but I think it was directed more at the guy for lying to the girls. Like she was trying to call him out.
Id rather smack lea. Kstew is harmless and I dont get why you hate her. It wasnt an eyeroll. She was being embarrassed and playful with her bf. Maybe you want sparkles for yourself because I dont get your perception of her
Lea is an only child, is that it? And everyone else is right this story couldd be true or false and out of context.
wow so you all can be a bitch but no one can. trustfully you all know you have done the same thing. Hypocrits. The irrational hate on Lea and/or Kristin is just odd. Ignore her.
Said this before, but enjoyed KStew in Runaways (heck, she seemed to be having FUN 🙂 This is all I’ve seen of her acting. Wouldn’t watch one of those vampire flix unless someone paid me–not after the belly-turning experience of Duty-Reading Bk 1 cause my tween nieces were into it.
BUT… Considering that my personal idea of Hell is having total strangers imagining they KNOW me? Am biased. Stewart was so freaking young when she did the 1st movie. Dedicated pros finally learn, but it takes years if ever (hi, M Rourke!), to work a PoS script like it’s Shakespeare & fulfill obligations for promo w/o getting sick.
Even worse, Summit–w/the media in general–spin those kids like tops to sell tickets/DVDs/whatever… Wow. At that age, if serious about acting but shackled to *years* of PoS scripts, + millions of vapid fans who think they own my private life? My late-teen/early 20s ‘tude would’ve blown hers out of the water. Um, so… no slap til she escapes the Twilite Zone.
That other chick tho–ok; she has one seriously smug, ego-swollen face–but never seen her show & can’t imagine it being worth the energy to smack her. If she is what she seems, it will *all* come back to bite her soon enough.
I don’t find this to be a big shocking ‘OMG how could she?!’ sort of thing. Based on past behavior, this comes up really low on the Bitch-ometer. Maybe a ‘1’ out of 10.
I still want to smack her. But not for this incident. (Reminds me waaay too much of a past friend who was a raging bitch, so I’m totally biased.)
Who in the hayull behaves that way at a big hippie fest? Will this girl never let her bitchguard down? Although (as I’ve said) I understand your disgust with K-Stew, I think we can both agree that Lea Michele is the one who would punch babies and puppies and endangered sea turtles in the face for not giving her enough attention. So I pick her for the smackdown, and wish I could pick her for a punchdown instead.
There is a reason. She’s a bitch.
