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."
