Lea Michelle appeared on Watch What Happens Live to talk about her recent engagement and address one very strange rumor about herself. The Glee actress put to rest a conspiracy theory that she's illiterate.
When a caller asked Lea about the conspiracy theory that she can't read or write, she said, "I woke up one day and all of the sudden online someone had made a conspiracy video — 45 minute-long video trying to prove that I can’t read or write."
"Not only do I have to memorize pages and pages," she continued, "they said that Ryan Murphy would have to read the lines to me. Ryan called me, he was like, ‘Do people think I have the time in my life to come and do this?’"
"I got accepted to NYU," Lea said. "It’s the most bizarre thing that’s ever happened in my life."

Lea also addressed her former Glee cast mate Kevin McHale, who recently came out. "I love him and adore him," she said. "He’s one of the most kindest, special, talented people on the planet. We’ve always loved and supported him. I’m very, very proud of him."
