Former Glee cast member Lea Michele has been the subject of a rumor that she can’t read. It started in 2018 when a 40-minute video, “Lea Michele is Illiterate” was posted, which made theories that the American actress was illiterate.

While appearing on the ‘Therapuss’ podcast, Michele addressed the long-standing internet rumor that she is illiterate: “I was on the debate team.”

“Give me the notes ― I’m reading that,” she said as she grabbed host Jake Shane’s notecards and began reading some of the fan-submitted questions aloud. “Jonathan [Groff] is not here to read me this shit!”
