If Lea Michele has one hater I am that hater but I still would NEVER remotely insinuate she was at any fault for cory's death, that is so despicable.
Seriously!
And that's church yo.
Seriously, Lea Michele gives people _plenty_ of legitimate reasons to hate her without making up bullshit like this. There's nothing that indicates she was horrible to him. Even Naya Rivera, Eternal Leader of the Anti-Lea Michele Club, acknowledged that she took time over one of their breakers to help Corey get noticeably better at dancing because he was embarrassed by his skills. And this is an antidote from a woman who did not speak to off-set for the back half of the series.
Same! And I also would never ever imply that she didn’t loved him, I don’t like her but that girl LOVED Cory, she still does I would bet on that so to say that she was with him only because she was in a show (the same as hers lol) is honestly disgusting
I am seeing this before getting to that part in the video and I’m appalled Jesus fucking Christ. Like I don’t like Lea Michele either but what happened to Cory was the result of a long battle for him. If anything I suspect Lea being in his life helped him. She loved him so much.
I actually think it was very disrespectful to Cory and Naya to assume the show had something to do with their deaths...
It really is. Cory Monteith had been to rehab long before he was ever on this show and Naya was an unfortunate accident.
Totally agree!
@@KariIzumi1 qqqqqqqqq I can qq
@@KariIzumi1yup! And in naya rivera's autobiography she tells that no one knew he was an addict; he never showed, and actually avoided nearly everything. Which made it a lot more shocking to them!
@@princessmanitari4993 never read her book but I didn't know that!
They made a Glee expose documentary and didn't call it "the u-Glee truth"? What a WASTE!
OMG!!! I’m so stealing this for a video title some time!!!
Love it! I would just drop the “-“ and called it “The Uglee/UGlee/uGLEE/UGLEE Truth” as it seems to read easier to me. Though that could *easily* just be me! And it’s stupid nitpicky of me. But either way, I like the way your brain works, my friend!
That's very good lol
@@radlee974 not just you, bc I fully read it as "the you-glee truth" which ruins the pun 😂
The amount of disrespect with Naya... NAYA FREAKING DIED SAVING HER SON! WTF!?!?!? That's nasty af...
She was literally a saint
Glee had nothing to do with that tragedy
Chord's comment of: "I think it's bullshit" summed up exactly how I felt about this the second it was announced. If you want to do a true crime documentary about Glee, then start and stop with Mark. Be respectful enough to not drag Cory and Naya into it.
I knew it would be bad, but not blaming Lea for Corey's death bad. That's just the most awful thing to do.
I watched it and they never blamed her for his death. They very briefly questioned whether she was a good influence on him, that's all. Considering there's photo evidence of her being aware of his relapse and participating in drinking with him, I'd say they went pretty easy on her.
I watched it too and they never said that, only that she was a difficult person. The girl in the video completely distorted and exaggerated lots of points
The hair-cutting guy implied strongly that Lea encouraged Cory to start drinking again.
I don't know if you were aware of this but Damien McGinty who played Rory on the show, is currently on our version of dancing with the stars in Ireland and a few weeks ago for dedications week, Damien dedicated his dance to the friends he made on Glee and mentioned Cory and Naya before his dance
omg i loved rory, it’s so sweet that Damien did that :’)
Damien is the best... i follow him on facebook and he still posts a remembering post every year for cory's death and also for a bandsmate death who he was really close with in his band "Celtic thunder". He's just such an upright guy!
I really like how Chris Colfer is just living his best life as an author and Amber Riley is off being amazing in her music career! Also the song that Kevin released a few years ago is still a bop! I think the actors struggling in their career is indicative of how difficult it is to be in the industry in general. Think about how many TV shows anyone has been in and how often these actors fall to the wayside after the show ends. Some people leave the industry of their own accord and others just can't find work anymore. It's appalling that people are still off trying to exploit the people who worked on the show and their pain. Also, Welcome back, missed seeing your videos hope you stay well!
Omg I LOVED Kevin’s solo music!!! Totally agree with everything you said
Amber does not have an amazing music career. She was recently BEGGING people on her instagram story to buy a $5 ticket for her concert.
I had a student who told me about a book series he moves, and I thought "hey Chris Colfer, isn't he Kurt" and he was. I didn't know before that. Glad for him.
@@user-ml9bu9tp2j it may not be amazing but she's still had one which is more than most of the cast. Her Broadway work has been great.
Harry Shum is so under rated he’s been in movies and on tv lately as well
One actor I’m really happy for is Harry Shum Jr whose career evolved far beyond the background/side character dancer he was in Season One of Glee
I always appreciate your take on things and am so glad people don't have to waste 3 hrs on a disgusting death fetished 'documentary'. Just the trailer, how it tried to link Naya's death to Glee in any way, pissed me off. Her death was a tragedy, a horrific accidental tragedy. The people who made this film should have their camera privileges revoked.
You’re totally right! It was so gross!
I'm so glad this documentary failed so spectacularly. There has been little to no attention given to it since it was released. I feel for Naya's Dad but I'm sure the documentary hung its entire credibility on the shoulders of this grieving father. Sensationalising the three deaths is a truly despicable act especially as they were so disconnected from each other and from the show.
Totally agree!!!
I was thinking about watching only to hear what Naya's father had to say, but then I heard Kevin McHale said that they didn't ask anyone from the Glee cast and that he called it exploitive and then said no thank you, next!
They took a internet “joke” a dark one but a joke and they said “that’s something we can exploit “
Liiiiiiiterally
I really appreciate you watching so we don't have to. Welcome back!
1. When they started talking about dude who died in a car fire, I was like, so are we gonna get an even longer Glee Curse documentary in 50 years? Just like listing everyone who was even tangentially involved with Glee’s causes of death? “Linda was in accounting at Fox, later died of cancer. I’m not saying it’s a Glee curse, but…”
2. When Naya’s dad was like, “well, burying my daughter is a box that I just don’t open” I was like, “COULD WE GET MY MAN HOOKED UP WITH A THERAPIST THOUGH?!”
3. The Glee documentary series I want made would be about how Ryan Murphy’s writing process is scary exploitative.
I am not a professional. Only in the sense that I used heroin for 10 years pretty much w/o breaks save a couple days or a month here and there. As an addict in recovery who has ofc also known many other addicts. You can’t just blame a relapse on someone. Thats not how it works. It’s a disease, even now, 5 yrs later I have drug dreams, I have a little voice in the back of my head telling me one more won’t hurt. It’s complicated and like many addicts have said a relapse starts even before the use of the drug. You start letting yourself slip, letting thoughts come in, you start to plan maybe not even consciously at first. Idk if any of this makes sense or if I’m just rambling but my main point is: it’s sickening to try to blame Lea M. Just gross. Unfortunately Cory’s disease took him. It’s heartbreaking. And it is not a Glee curse or Lea’s blame to bear.
Wow, thank you for sharing your story with me and congratulations on your recovery! Sending you so much love ♥️
@@AmyLovatt1 thank you! Love your videos!
i don’t know you kind stranger, but i’m proud of you for recovering and i’m happy you’re alive
There are pictures of Lea drinking with Cory at hockey games, proving that she was aware he broke his sobriety and at the very least condoning of it. I would never blame her for his death but the fact is that she was not a great influence on his sobriety. Drinking with someone who almost died from a drug overdose at age 15 is crazy. Also, the documentary never blamed her for his relapse/death.
@@goldrush18xLea was sober (as per Naya’s book). Their drinks didn’t have to be alcoholic
Nothing enrages me faster than the term "Glee Curse." I literally feel my eyes start watering with rage and I want to physically fight whomever says it.
Literally it makes my cry and angry like I feel like I have to rant. Just knowing that this exploitative mess exists, that people are believing this and that the people involved have got away with this also disgusts me
Shit like this is sadly common for Hollywood…look up the “Poltergeist Curse” or “The Dark Knight” curse. There dumb conspiracy that people make up when unfortunate stuff happens to actors who happened to show up in a movie or tv show together. But at least with the poltergeist one it was shocking because two of the younger actors (one being only 12) lost their lives between films due to a medical accident and sadly a murder while the movies were being made so that’s why people came up with the idea because it was so weird (because the first film used real dead bodies in the swimming pool for a scene) but this is just two people who passed after the show was basically over and it’s just a gross fetishized version of events to capitalize on their deaths
Lea had auditioned for Ryan already, and Ryan said he envisioned Rachel wearing clothes with animals on them, so she bought that shirt to wear to her next audition.
Oh my god really?! I didn’t know that!!!
That’s quite funny tbh
The fact that there are so many things about glee that you could probably make a documentary on both positive and negative but they chose to focus on the deaths of cast and crew and chose to try and blame it on Glee for the sake of an interesting narrative is just so…
I watched the documentary because I naively assumed it was something involving the original cast and not just going behind the scenes into one of the biggest teen dramas of the last decade, but almost an in memoriam for the cast members that had passed. I couldn't get past the first episode, thank you for pushing through it. Also, welcome back & hope you're well Xx
On the subject of a lot of the Glee actors being has-beens...let's not forget Amber Riley is THRIVING. 💖👑
Toooooooo true!
So is Harry Shum Jr, Melissa Benoist, Grant Gustin, etc. A lot of them are doing pretty well. But Ms. Riley is killing it rn
@@dr.little7311 For sure! To me she's the standout among the original group of kids, but that's not to diminish anybody. Harry Shum Jr was great in Everything Everywhere All At Once; I'd have given him the award before Jamie Lee lol
So is Chris Colfer. NYT best selling author.
@@leahmoore6820 Amy mentioned that in the video
i know lea isn’t the greatest human on earth, but them partly blaming her for the death of the love of her life is so low and disgusting, she was shattered when cory died
They never blamed her for his death, nor was he the love of her life. They dated for just a year and a half. Fans act like they were together for multiple years and lie about them being engaged. His mom not only confirmed that they weren't engaged, she said the relationship wasn't what it seemed and basically implied that he wanted to break up with her. If anything, the doc went easier on Lea than I expected. If they really wanted to blame Lea for his death then they would've shown the pictures of her drinking at hockey games with him, proving that she was well aware that he broke his sobriety and even condoned it. I would never say Lea is to blame for Cory's death but to claim that she was an amazing influence on his sobriety is simply incorrect. If my boyfriend almost died from an overdose at 15 years old I would never in a million years feel comfortable kicking back and drinking with him. That's crazy behavior.
@@goldrush18x people did blame her, if you had access to the internet in 2013 a lot of people did blame her for his death
@@iimidnightsii but the documentary did not, unlikely what the girl in the video said, the simply suggested that she was a difficult person (sorry for my english). I didn't like the documentary but the girl in the video distorted and exaggerated a lot
@@pinkmango_ i just mean overall throughout the media that people did, and you don’t have t apologize for your english!
I watched this one on television, gagging the whole way through with only a morbid curiosity to fuel my path to the end. I was shocked (and relieved) they didn’t bring in a psychic to contact the spirits of the deceased cast members. God knows they would’ve if they’d thought of it. Welcome back Amy!!!
Omg right?! I literally said, when is the psychic coming on?!
@@AmyLovatt1 Thank you for reviewing this “documentary” (implying any of the info in there was worth documenting) for people so they don’t have to give it any more attention. The publicity given to the
“curse” feels dehumanizing in its purest form imo. I always think of the old show “Bewitched”: in the first couple seasons, two older women (Alice Pearce and Marion Lorne) passed away and one’s character was replaced. Was Bewitched cUrSed? Nah, actors are human and we die 💀
Also, there were psychologists hired so that the cast could grieve properly over Cory Monteiths passing.
You summed it up perfectly at the start; Shane Dawson's School of Documentaries.
Hi welcome back! I've missed your videos, I literally didn't know there was a documentary of Glee and this has shocked me. After watching your video about it, I actually feel sick about what was in that supposed "documentary".
I am both happy and mad ("mad") that you mentioned Kevin and Jenna's podcast. Happy because I had no idea this exists and I'm excited to listen to it, but mad because I'm trying to cut down on podcasts NOT ADD MORE!!!
Omg it’s soooooo good though!!
@@AmyLovatt1 I'm definitely checking it out, I have the first episode downloaded so I don't forget it. I just have to find the time 😫
So they say that it's Lea Michele's fault that Corey died and that she didn't care about him huh?
I collect her albums and she wrote two songs for Corey explaining how in one song she was devastated that he died called If You Say So. Then the song, Hey You, shows her telling his ghostly spirit that she's doing alright but she misses him terribly still.
If that's not caring I honestly don't know what is!
Coincidences also happen in real life when someone from a movie or TV show keeps on dying constantly.
It has nothing to do with curses it's just bad luck is all. :(
They never said it was her fault that he died. They simply questioned whether she was a good influence on him or not. I think that's fair given the way she is known to treat people. If they really wanted to make Lea look bad they could've shown the pictures of her drinking with him at hockey games, proving she was aware that he broke his sobriety and was fine with it.
I watched it too and they never said that, only that she was a difficult person. The girl in the video completely distorted and exaggerated lots of points. And they constantly said they didn't believe or like the idea of "glee's curse", they mentioned because lots of internet users still use this term. They simply pointed all all deaths and scandals regarding people involved in the show, not necessarily blaming the show. Of course, some parts like when discussing Cory's death they said that the show COULD have been a stressor to his mental health, same to other people like producers who comitted sue*cide, but they never said it was the show's fault like the girl in the video affirmed
it’s sad that they even felt comfortable alluding to her being the cause. i know she’s been the bud of the joke lately but this is just not ok. it’s disrespectful to cory and lea. Addiction is a disease. We don’t know these people and it’s literally no one’s business about what happened. it’s embarrassing that they thought people would like this esp fans of glee. like what.
Glee fans aren't aware that Lea knew about Cory's relapse and participated in drinking with him and it shows. I would never blame her for his death but she was definitely not a good influence on his sobriety. The documentary sucked but they never alluded to her being the cause of his death. They simply questioned her influence on him, very briefly.
Melissa is the only one who's managed to book a big role on TV since.. She's Supergirl!!!
i admit that when they showed that clip of Mark saying that he was the worst guy freaked me out, and blaming Cory's death on lea and glee, sorry, that's just plain bull.
We love a comeback! And a Glee comeback at that.
And that’s what I missed…
Thank you so much for doing this. I wanted to know what this “documentary” was about but didn’t want to give them the view/money to watch it
I was thinking of paying for a month to watch this documentary, but thank you for changing my mind about it. I may still watch it, but it wouldn’t be to watch it seriously. It’s disgraceful how they’ve treated the cast and crew with everything they’ve done.
i def wouldn't pay for it. if anyone wants to watch it properly for whatever reason, i'd pirate it.
There's no point in watching it, they've just rehashed information the public have known for years and dramatised it. It's exploitative and disgusting. You'd be better off listening to jenna and Kevin's podcast as they're the ones who really went through it
To truly suggest there’s a “Glee curse”, or even that the show had a working environment that was UNIQUE in contributing to premature, unnatural death among the cast and crew, one would need to compare it to other shows with similar age casts, and amount of people working, and see how many of those shows’ had deaths in that same number of years during and after the show. My cousin apparently believes in the so-called “curse” and it is very disappointing.
I already chose not to watch this documentary and now I'm even more glad I've stuck to that.
Same you could tell its a shit mess from the trailer and given the fact the cast spoke against it definitely not
I was hoping a video was coming after I saw your instagram!! Glad to have you back.
I thought about watching it, but figured it would have all this garbage in it. Thanks for taking one for the team.
I watched it out of curiosity and as it went on it just felt icky and the fact that there was not one in it from the actual cast was a major red flag.
I remember seeing the trailer for this show a few months ago and feeling sick just watching that. I don't know how you managed to get through the whole thing, but thank you for your service.
It’s good to see you again Amy! Thank you so much for this. As a Gleek I had no intention of watching but was curious where they were going to go. You confirmed exactly what I thought. Sad.
now just imagine my face when I was scrolling on tiktok and saw a clip from the documentary where they used a video from my channel... Throughout the first episode there are several videos with my channel's logo, and I can't do ANYTHING about it 😑
Oh god that's awful. Was is the bts footage cause I knew that they had found that footage somewhere of youtube. If only there was a way you could sue 😭
Perfect analysis, no notes, well done love. Thank you for your service 💞
Welcome back Amy! Loved your perspective on this. The whole “documentary” gave me the ick.
It's so good to see that people say that now they have watched your video they're not going to watch the documentary. The people who make and distribute programmes like this will only get the message if their product doesn't get views!
absolutely infuriated by the sensationalism of the tragedies that just so happened to link back to glee. the disrespect to the lives lost and people affected is awful. great video! ❤
Amy I love you and your content, you're such a ball of sunshine. Thank you for your service on explaining this documantry to us❣
not a glee fan but i am a fan of a famous celebrity that died tragically young, i am so disgusted at the narrative they tried to pull for cory's death. everything you said about it resonated with me, thank you for calling them out on the ways they disrespect his story, it truly hit home for me too
Amy!! So happy to see you!! Thank you for doing us all a service in watching this because I didn't want to do it myself!
Thank you for taking one for the team because this sounds vile and the fewer people who watch it, the better. Lovely to have you back! 🖤
I was just thinking yesterday how much I missed your content! Glad you're back, but take time off as much as you need!
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
They are really out here like "oh wow the curse of H2O. Every person in history who has ever consumed the chemical H2O died eventually. Some even died tragically. Therefore H2O curses and kills you"
Welcome back, Amy! I've missed you. I had no idea about this doc and yikes. I feel for the cast. Thank you for watching it for us! :-)
Naya: Living her best life but has a tragic accident saving her son’s life, ending her life as a hero.
This “documentary”: Glee ruined her life permanently and caused her to die.
Thanks for doing this - I do admit I was curious but didn't want to support the documentary. I'll never forget when I found out about Cory's death - it was utterly heartbreaking and devastating. Sad to see this exploitation
Thank you for the summary! I was curious, but didn't want to watch it. As a thank you, here's a nice behind-the-scenes tidbit from my time working background on the second half of the show- when there were make-a-wish kids hidden in crowd scenes, either Kevin or Chris always took the time to really go talk to them and their families when there was down time. You might think that's standard on sets, but not really.
Almost all the main cast were really nice too. I won't say who wasn't, but I think y'all already know.
So thrilled to see you're back! Thank you for watching this mess so we don't have to.
Such a champion watching that documentary! Once I heard the title and then many cast members spoke about how no main cast or crew members were involved, I knew this would be bad. Then adding Nia, who died in a complete accident, not related in any way possible to Glee or any mental health issues she might have had in relation to Glee
I will admit I am one of the people who were curious but knew I wasn't going to watch it.
So glad you made this video. Your Glee videos are so calming and really help me out when I'm having a bad day :)
Oh thank you, that means so much to me! Sending you love ♥️♥️♥️
Wow I did not know they made a disrespectful documentary and it’s even more surprising that it’s actually on Discovery+ like so many people had to watch this and give it a green light for it to be streaming on there. Wth
So glad to see you back because missed you so much! And back with a glee video too!
Thank you 🥹
So glad you're back!!
You're back! I was just thinking about you and your channel the other day and was rewatching some videos. I'm glad you're doing alright and this was a lovely video!
Aww that’s lovely of you to say, thank you!
Great to see you back!
I missed this channel! Thank you for an entertaining video
Thank yooooooou ♥️♥️♥️
I didn’t know there was a Glee documentary, but glad that I’m getting a recap from you, so I don’t have to sit & watch it.
Missed you, welcome back! Looking forward to your take on this!
i’m so glad you’re back!!
Thanks for this. I was curious but, at the same time, I had zero desire to give the "documentary" any attention. Thanks for taking one for the team and confirming what I'd already assumed.
I'm happy you took the time off that you needed and excited to have you back. Thank you for watching this mess so nome of us had to give them the views they don't deserve.
♥️🥰
Thank you for making this! I was gonna watch this documentary but now I’m definitely not going to, it sounds terrible! Lovely to have you back
Like the sheer amount of people who worked on glee like surely it's not statistically outragous for all these tradgedies to have occured in to same team? Like percentage wise? (This is not to take away from the losses but from the idea there some curse)
You're the hero we needed 💜💜
Well hellooooo! Glad you’re back. Thank you for continuing to entertain us ❤
They took a month off, not a week. Then they filmed the Beatles episodes and The Quarterback, and then took another month off. That’s why season 5 was shorter.
Also, Diana was in the EU making a movie so she couldn’t be there when they did The Quarterback.
Welcome back Amy! Missing your content for too long ❤
I appreciate your sacrifice in making this video - and I’m definitely avoiding the documentary.
The whole thing just sounds dishonest, like some weird conspiracy theory kind of thing - as if they decided on a narrative they liked beforehand, and were going to stick to it in any way they felt they could. It just comes across as disrespectful and, frankly, disgusting.
So glad to see you back ❤
Thank you for this!! There was no way I was going to watch it. I did want to know about it though. I really appreciate you taking one for the team.
I have been waiting for such video. THANK YOU
I love your Glee videos and this was no exception!
Thank you so much!!!
Harry was in Everything Everywhere all at once!!
Omg was he!! I’m planning on watching it this weekend!!
Good to have Grey's success 🙌
i watched the documentary and felt sick the whole time. You could tell it was a cash grab. It made me so angry and sad.
you know a small youtuber is gonna make a great point in a video when the video is out of focus the whole time--
lol, but seriously, great points and thankyou even though i am a year late to it
Glad you’re back
Thank you for your service Amy❤❤
thanks for watching it so we don't have to! and a great summary!! i feel like i got the jist 100% lol. and welcome back!! i missed your vids!
♥️♥️♥️
Happy to see you back:)
Welcome back. Good insight. Your content is always wonderful.
Thank you so much 🥹
“The Shane Dawson school of documentaries” killled me. Dead. 💀😂
Lovely to see a video from you again!
Thank yoooou!
Glad you’re back! Hope you’re doing well!
Great video, thank you so much for talking about this. What a disrespectful trainwreck.
I've missed your videos so much Amy, UA-cam just hasn't been the same without you. Also love that you are so in love and happy at the moment! Haven’t watched the vid yet but just wanted to say this immediately before I forget! Xxxxxx
You’re just the best, thank you so much for your support and love! ♥️♥️♥️
Lumping Mark in with Naya and Cory is revolting.
I personally hate these curse theories on film sets. They do this with the Poltergeist trilogy. When in reality it’s bad luck, health, and tragedies.
And the so-called Diff'rent Strokes curse, as if doing the show is what killed Gary Coleman and Dana Plato.
Glad to see you again. I hope the life transitions are good things.
Thankfully all really good things! 🥰
The dopamine hit you get when you see an Amy Lovatt video AND it’s Glee 👌 Welcome back!
♥️🥰♥️
I didn’t know this even happened. I’m sooooo happy your back I used to watch you all the time😃😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Girl thank u so much for this video. i got curious and was planning to watch but then i got busy. If I hadn't seen ur vid I would've seen that garbage.
Happy to see you back! x
Im so glad I can rely on you anything glee related 🥰😌
