In the video, Lea lip-syncs a famous audio clip of Kim Kardashian from an old episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians, where the makeup mogul tries to stay positive while visibly upset on holiday. “That’s great… but wait, can you talk for a bit?” The actress reappears in front of the camera. Lea took aim at the illiterate rumors by captioning TikTok, “Call Jonathan to read me my first TikTok comments,” which seems to be a reference to her BFF. Jonathan Groff.

Earlier in the week, Lea responded to the rumors in an interview with New York Times. While Lea insists she’s afraid reacting to the rumors will only add fuel to the fire, the actress wants to address the outrageous claim frankly. “I go to ‘Glee’ every day; I know my lines every day,” she told the outlet. “And then there was a rumor on the internet that I couldn’t read or write? So sad. It really is like that. I often think if I were a man, a lot of cases wouldn’t happen.”

About Fanny Brice in Funny girl – a role that was once brilliant – Lea couldn’t help but be ecstatic about it. Her first performance brought the actress 7 times to a standing ovation! “I want to say a big thank you to all of you for your support after my first Broadway performance as Fanny Brice,” Lea wrote on social media at the time. And in July, ahead of her first pitch, she shared a sweet moment of herself standing in front of the show’s performance at the August Wilson Theater in New York City. Lea captioned the photo, “A dream come true.”
