"Glee" star Amber Riley speaks out on Lea Michele's set behavior for the "first and last time.".

"Glee" star Amber Riley has officially addressed for the "first and last time" the viral controversy surrounding co-star Lea Michele's onset behavior.

She also briefly addressed (at minute 43) the controversy around Michele from the Fox musical series.

Riley said she was proud of "Glee" co-star Samantha Ware for originally speaking out about Michele, saying "I’m proud of her of not being fearful and telling her truth.".

As accusations of Michele's alleged diva behavior continued to surface this week, Riley clarified one point on Thursday.

Riley added she hopes Michele "has grown." She revealed she had recently communicated with Michele for the first time in two years.

Take note: this is the first and last time Amber will address the Lea Michelle headlines.

"I listened to these criticisms and I am learning and while I am very sorry, I will be better in the future from this experience," Michele wrote

"The responses I received to what I posted have made me also focus specifically on how my own behavior towards fellow cast members was perceived by them," Michele continued in her statement

"That’s not really the point," Michele added

Morris went on to say that she believes Michele should be called out for treating others "with the disrespect that she did for as long as she did." While Morris condemned Michele's behavior, she did not directly accuse Michele of racism

"And yet, it's also on us, because to allow it to go on for so long without speaking out is something else we're learning along with the rest of society," she continued
