For those who have been engrossed in the "Glee" controversy for a long time, one wouldn't be surprised to hear that Lea Michele has been a subject of issues among her castmates on the hit Fox show.
Chris Colfer was the latest one to ride the train in shading her fellow castmate and friend.
In a conversation with Sirius XM, Colfer was cold as ice after he was invited to watch Lea Michele's "Funny Girl" performance in New York.
"Oh my God, you should come, if you're here," Michelle Collins offered. "Oh no, are you seeing Funny Girl?" Colfer asked. When Collins confirmed that she would be watching, Colfer refused.
"My day suddenly just got so full. No, I can be triggered at home," he blurted out.
The revelation comes as a shock considering the two's friendship on-screen and off-screen before.
On "Glee," Lea Michele and Chris Colfer's characters, Rachel Berry and Kurt Hummel have become frenemies turned life-long best friends.
The two have shared hundreds of songs together and even duets.

However, after the show ended in 2015, the cast's dirty laundry was one by one exposed, starting with Michele in Naya Rivera's memoir.
In the book, the late singer described Michele as someone who "didn't like sharing the spotlight," among many other descriptions.
At the height of the Black Lives Movement protest, Season 6 cast member Samantha Marie Ware exposed Lea Michele for numerous racial microaggressions on set.
Since this exposition, many have also come forward attesting to Michele's apparent diva behavior on set. Her other cast members have also become distant from her, even after she clinched her dream role of Fanny Brice in Broadway's "Funny Girl."
Last month, "Glee" star Kevin McHale also expressed his hesitation about not watching "Funny Girl." He told E! News that he doesn't have any plans to see Michele perform.
On the other hand, Jenna Ushkowitz, who played Tina Cohen-Chang on the show, has also revealed that she hasn't seen the show. Asked if she congratulated Michele on bagging the role, she also had a cold response: "I have not. I will leave it at that."
Lea Michele is currently playing Fanny Brice at the 2022 Broadway revival of "Funny Girl" at the August Wilson Theatre.
