Jonathan Groff Addresses Rumor His BFF Lea Michele Can’t Read

As an ardent fan of the extraordinary talent that is Jonathan Groff, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of admiration for his unwavering wit and grace under pressure. His recent conversation on the Tactful Pettiness podcast, addressing the absurd conspiracy theory about his best friend Lea Michele, was nothing short of delightful.


Jonathan Groff is finding glee in the absurdity of conspiracy theories.

The award-winning artist publicly addressed the speculations circulating online, which suggest that his close friend Lea Michele has difficulty reading.

During his appearance on the October 10th episode of the Tactful Pettiness podcast, Jonathan was questioned about the rumor circulating regarding Lea Michele.

“That she can’t read?” he responded. “Of course.”

After turning 39 years old, he chuckled as the hosts, Cody Rigsby and Andrew Chappelle, playfully asked him a series of questions such as if he had ever observed her reading, when he noticed her engrossed in books, and what specific book she was reading at the moment he caught her in the act.

Jonathan remarked, “I’ve observed her reading.” Then he added with surprise, “Wow, I didn’t expect that! Haha. Hold on, are you suggesting she can’t read? That seems unlikely!

The co-host stated that they certainly don’t endorse the rumor, yet they are curious about when he last observed her reading.

Andrew wondered, “Was she looking at the script on the music stand, or had she memorized it already?

Jonathan found the example given to be exceptional and wasn’t improvising; he also found it very amusing.)

And once and for all, Jonathan added, “Let it be known. We’re dispelling it.”

The gossip concerning the “Glee” star originates from a 2017 episode of “One More Thing,” where it was speculated as to why, as Lea’s late co-star Naya Rivera stated in her memoir, Lea declined to come up with spontaneous lines on set.

Ever since, I’ve noticed that the quip has gained traction on the web and transformed into something resembling a genuine rumor.

As I delved into this topic for the very first time, I couldn’t help but notice that Lea has hinted at this theory multiple times before. On one such instance, she even mentioned my name in connection with it.

In one of her initial TikTok posts from September 2022, Lea playfully addressed a rumor while synchronizing lyrics to the popular sound by Kim Kardashian, “Hey, can you talk for a moment?” She humorously captioned the video, “ringing up Jonathan to read me the comments on my first TikTok,” in a teasing manner.

Earlier that month, though, Lea had taken a more serious approach to discussing the rumor.

The star of ‘Funny Girl’ shared with the New York Times that they attended ‘Glee’ daily and memorized their lines every day. There’s a rumor on the internet suggesting they can’t read or write, which is unfortunate. I believe if they were male, these allegations might not exist as much.

In one of her inaugural TikTok posts in September 2022, Lea playfully addressed a rumor while mimicking the popular Kim Kardashian audio track, “Hey, do you have a moment to chat?” She humorously captioned the video, “Giving Jonathan a ring to read me the comments on my first TikTok,” on the amusing clip.

Earlier that month, though, Lea had taken a more serious approach to discussing the rumor.

The star of “Funny Girl” shared with the New York Times that she went to “Glee” every day and memorized her lines daily. However, there’s a rumor on the internet that she can’t read or write, which she finds disheartening. If she were a man, she believes such allegations wouldn’t exist as frequently.

After two months, I still found humor in my theory, but when a fan on TikTok complimented me, saying, “Wow, she’s looking more youthful! She must have been given those fantastic genes,” my response was, “These are the types of comments that make me smile.
