Real Housewives Of New York alum Aviva Drescher is joining the chorus of people talking about actress Lea Michele’s bad behavior.
The reality star, 49, addressed the Glee actress, 33, in a comment beneath her recent Instagram apology, saying: ‘You were once very unkind to me so I am not surprised by your behavior.
‘You shouldn’t judge others before looking in the mirror,’ the philanthropist/author went on.
Not a fan: RHONY alum Aviva Drescher (above 2018) piled onto anti-Lea Michele sentiment on Wednesday, knocking the Glee actress’ apology by reminding her of the time she said ‘unkind’ things about the reality star/writer
It seems like Drescher could certainly hold a grudge. Lea got on Aviva’s bad side after a 2014 appearance on Watch What Happens Live!
There, she told Andy Cohen that she was ‘team Carole’ Radizwil while Carole and Aviva were bickering about allegations Drescher hired a ghostwriter to pen her book What Remains.
‘I love the New York Housewives. Carole is a very good friend of mine. I just told [Andy Cohen] that we went out the other night and had the greatest time,’ Michele said at the time.
‘I don’t know what I would do if I ever saw Aviva. She would have to turn the other way,’ she tried to joke.

Okay… ‘I don’t know what I would do if I ever saw Aviva. She would have to turn the other way,’ she tried to joke
Lea first came under fire on Monday after one of her social media posts showing support for Black Lives Matter was skewered by former castmate Samantha Marie Ware.
Samantha, who appeared as Jane Hayward on the show’s sixth season in 2015, swiftly hit back: ‘Remember when you made my first television gig a living hell?!?!…
‘Cause I’ll never forget… I believe you told everyone that if you had the opportunity you would “s*** in my wig!” amongst other traumatic microaggressions that made me question a career in Hollywood.’
People were quick to co-sign the message. Fellow Glee alum Amber Riley, who played Mercedes Jones in the through all six seasons, shared two GIFs of herself, one raising her hand, while the other sipping tea, caused a stir among fans who saw it as a subtle way of the actress chiming in.

Not so subtle: Glee’s Amber Riley posted this GIF of her raising her hand, amid rumors that Lea Michele was less than kind to work with on the Ryan Murphy show
Not happy: Community star Yvette Nicole Brown, who did not appear on Glee, also voiced her opinion
In agreement: Alex Newell, who starred as Unique Adams on series for four seasons, wasn’t so subtle – and began replying to fans about the drama.

‘We ain’t got not a damn thing to lie about 6 years later!’ he replied to one fan who suggested they were making false accusations about Michele’s behavior.
Lea took to social media to offer up an apology early Wednesday, telling fans and critics: ‘While I don’t remember ever making this specific statement and I have never judged others by their background or color of their skin, that’s not really the point, what matters is that I clearly acted in ways which hurt other people…
Hitting out: The actress, 33, admitted her ‘privileged position and immaturity’ had contributed to causing pain to her former co-star, 28, in a statement posted to Instagram on Wednesday
‘Whether it was my privileged position and perspective that caused me to be perceived as insensitive or inappropriate at times or whether it was just my immaturity and me just being unnecessarily difficult.’
But people weren’t impressed by her wishy-washy words and instead raced to the comments to give Lea a piece of their mind.
One comment left under Michele’s post said: ‘Saying you didn’t do it is the worst apology I’ve ever heard.’
Another said: ‘This is a non-apology. You apologize for their ‘perception’ of your behavior? There are multiple people speaking out about your racist micro-aggressions.’
