While discussing an anecdote about Lea allegedly refusing to improvise scenes on Glee, the pair speculated that this might’ve been the case because she was memorizing lines ahead of time that had been read aloud to her.
The internet quickly took this theory and ran with it, and before long, Lea was poking fun at the conspiracy theory herself.
Reposting a message from a fan who had referenced the joke, Lea wrote, “Loved READING this tweet and wanted to WRITE you back😛 literally laughing out loud at all this😂 love you!!! 😘❤️”
Well, the theory continued to spiral, with fans scouring the internet for more so-called “evidence” of Lea’s literacy skills. Like, people made full-on compilation videos of the actor seemingly hesitating while announcing the winners at award shows.
