Emma Roberts is a woman of few words when it comes to responding to that Lea Michele conspiracy theory.
While appearing on Bravo‘s Watch What Happens Live on Jan. 24, the American Horror Story alum was asked by whom what she thinks is the “biggest misconception” about her former Scream Queens costar. Referencing a longtime rumor about Michele, host Andy Cohen added, “The biggest misconception is that she can’t read, right?”
“Well, I mean,” Roberts stated, laughing, “We’ve not been in a book club together.”
Fellow guest Julie Bowen added, “Why is reading so important, goddamn it! Let her not read if that’s what she wants!”
Michele has herself poked fun at the longstanding rumor that supposedly can’t read or write. In September 2022, the Glee alum made her TikTok debut with a video depicting her calling her BFF and past co-star Jonathan Groff to have him “read me the comments on my first TikTok.”
Source link Emma Roberts is laughing off recent rumors that her friend La Michele has difficulty reading.
Roberts, who is currently starring in the horror miniseries “Holidate” on Netflix, was recently made aware of the rumor and responded with a laugh, despite the fact that it had already been proven to be false.
The rumor originated from an unsubstantiated Twitter account and spread quickly, claiming that Italian actress Lea Michele had difficulty reading. The rumor was debunked when another Twitter user posted a photo of a book Michele had authored.
Michele and Roberts have been friends for years and the two actresses have even collaborated on projects together, like the 2017 film “Billionaire Boys Club.”
Roberts didn’t waste time responding to the rumor and laughing it off. During an interview with a late night talk show host, she was asked about the rumor and Roberts was quick to shut it down.
“My friend Lea Michele is not just an incredible performer and singer, but she’s also an incredible writer,” Roberts said. “She just wrote a book, she can read and it’s a really good book, by the way.”
The two actresses have shown support for each other’s projects in the past, and Roberts’ response to the rumor is just another example of the affection and respect they have for each other.
Roberts is no stranger to rumors, which is why she seemed so unfazed. She’s used to the scrutiny that comes with the territory of being a public figure and has found ways to laugh it off.
So the next time a false rumor about Roberts or another public figure surfaces, it’s likely that she’ll have the same response as she did about Michele — a simple, hearty laugh.
