Naya Rivera Kicked Off Of ‘Glee’
Goodbye, Santana! Naya Rivera has been kicked off of Glee‘s Season 5 finale, according to multiple reports. Naya’s character is being written out of the big episode because she’s been acting like a huge diva on set, arguing with the producers and allegedly sparking fights with Lea Michele.
“Last week rumors began circulating that an on-set ‘diva off’ between Lea Michele and Naya Rivera led to Naya being removed from set and allegedly fired,” according to PopWrapped.
The New York Daily News also reported that Naya is indeed being written out of the finale, but not because of Lea. “She went off. But it had nothing to do with Lea.”

“Naya’s been showing up, clashing with a few cast mates, and [her] behavior’s been a little erratic and unpredictable,” a source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife.com. “This time around, she’s trying to pin it on Lea. It makes no sense.”
The source continued to detail Naya’s diva attitude from a specific on-set problem earlier this month, and further explained that Lea was not involved.
“Lea didn’t even know that Naya complained, if that did in fact happen,” the sources revealed. “She [Naya] showed up to the set in really bad shape — she’s been acting more and more erratically on set. She went off on one of the producers on the show and they got really upset with her and it escalated from there.”
Adding fuel to the fire, Naya has also publicly outed Lea, telling our sister site, TVLine, that the actress behind Rachel started Naya’s exit rumors. “I guess Lea was doing interviews and had omitted me from the New York cast list,” Naya said, adding, “but I’m sure that was just a Freudian slip on her part, or maybe it wasn’t.”
Rawr!
