Lea Michele slammed for being 'disrespectful' to Sadie Sink while they were on The Tonight Show

Lea Michele seems to have p***ed of fans once again after appearing on The Tonight Show with Sadie Sink.

The Glee star joined Jimmy Fallon this week for a game of charades but before the game even got started, the backlash had begun. Here's where it all went wrong:

See the problem? Well, lots of viewers at home apparently did!

People are calling out the Broadway star for shuffling Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, 20, out of her way so that she could position herself in the middle.

By the time Lea, 36, walks out, Sadie has already been introduced and is standing beside rapper Tariq Trotter, who stands beside Jimmy Fallon.

When Lea walks out, she greets Sadie by touching her arm before reaching across her to shake hands with Jimmy.

She then takes a step forward, standing directly in front of Sadie, to shake hands with Tariq.

Sadie is completely blocked from the camera for a second, until she steps aside to give Lea her spot.

Of course, there's a very strong likelihood that Lea was told to slot herself between Sadie and Tariq, but some viewers at home aren't so sure.

Because, moments after her introduction, Jimmy kicks off the game of charades, telling Sadie to come and sit with him on the right of the stage, and sending Lea and Tariq to the left.

To make this manoeuvre as smooth as possible, Sadie has to shuffle back to let Lea cut across her, before she can make her way over to Jimmy.

Some fans are slamming Lea for the almost unnoticeable move and praising Sadie for being 'humble' and moving out of her way - others really can't see what the big deal is.

"Dang Lea knows where the camera is at all times," commented one fan after the clip went viral on TikTok.

"I watched this live and it was sooo cringe, disrespectful, and it's actually extremely immature move," wrote a second.

Defending Lea, another TikTok user argued, "Y'all are over analyzing this fr."

And one wondered: "I'm not a fan of Michele but where would have been ok for her to go?"

The awkward moment comes just days after the release of new documentary The Price of Glee, which looked into the tragic lives of some of the cast members of the musical series.

In the three-part docu-series, some complaints were made about Lea, who starred as Rachel Berry on the show.

Assistant to the executive director Garrett Greer described Lea as a 'narcissist', and claimed that there was 'conflict' whenever the actor felt her character wasn't getting enough attention.

Lea has previously faced bullying allegations.

Commenting in an interview with The New York Times, Lea admitted that the accusations prompted an 'intense time of reflection' about her behaviour, and traced it back to her childhood on Broadway.

"I have an edge to me. I work really hard. I leave no room for mistakes," she said. "That level of perfectionism, or that pressure of perfectionism, left me with a lot of blind spots."
