Jenna Ushkowitz, a former "Glee" actress, recently advised viewers of an unofficial documentary on the popular smash show to proceed with care.

The upcoming documentary "The Price of Glee" from Discovery+ and ID series apparently doesn't include any of the show's original cast members.

It will investigate the hit musical show's backstage disputes.

Jenna, who portrayed Tina Cohen-Chang in the Fox comedy-drama TV series, finds it difficult to discuss the scandals and off-screen issues.

She stated that she had a generally nice experience on the show and believes that "Glee," which debuted in 2009 and was cancelled in 2015, should only be praised for advancing LGBTQ visibility on television.

The 2013 deadly heroin overdose of the new documentary's star actor, Cory Monteith, is one of two key subjectsit will address. The second involves claims that Lea Michele's "toxic workplace atmosphere" affected every member of the cast of the program.

In her podcast with her "Glee" co-star Kevin McHale, Jenna is even prepared to dispel any rumors that may surface regarding the troubles on the show.

According to Jenna, who spoke to The Sun, discussing "Glee" is difficult because the two people who will serve as the docuseries' main characters are their "friends."

She continued by stating that due to a comeback on Disney+ and Hulu, interest in the previous blockbuster program is once again soaring among "new generations."

She emphasized that her experiences being a member of the contentious program will still always be pleasant.

Jenna further said she is happy that people are still watching the program and that it will continue to be discussed in many contexts.

I am choosing to look at the ones that serve me because you have to select the ones you look at.

Jenna implied that she had the nicest experience being a member of "Glee" and appreciated the program for catapulting her career.

We were in our 20s and enjoying the high life, and I was just so appreciative of the experience and the friends I brought back with me.

Starting on January 16, "The Price of Glee" will be accessible through streaming. The program will discuss Lea Michele and Cory Monteith as well as the unexpected deaths of two actors, Mark Salling, who played Noah "Puck" Puckerman, and Naya Rivera, who portrayed Santana Lopez.
