Trans model Plastic Martyr has added to “bullying” allegations made against Lea Michele with claims that the Glee actor made her feel like a “circus freak” while she was transitioning.
The actor and model recalled crossing paths with Michele at the 2010 Emmy Awards, during which the musical theatre performer accused her of using the wrong bathroom.
“I was in the bathroom, I don’t know her at all, I just recognised her, and I’m washing my hands and I went to reach for the soap or the paper towels,” Plastic Martyr told The Sun.
Michele has since issued a statement apologising for her behaviour and “for any pain” she had caused.
