If anyone understands where Jenna Ushkowitz is coming from in terms of her current relationship with Lea Michele, it’s Kevin McHale, her “And That’s What You Really Missed” podcast co-host.
Like Ushkowitz, McHale told Business Insider that no matter what, they were family — and if anything, that played a role in some of the tensions while they worked together. “You don’t spend 15 hours a day with people for six years and sugarcoat things,” he explained. McHale was also in agreement with Ushkowitz’s sentiments on the cast having moved forward from the drama of years past. “We’re cool. We’re all adults now,” he said.
Even so, speaking to E! News, McHale shared that, like Chris Colfer and Jenna Ushkowitz, he wasn’t planning on going to see Michele on Broadway. That wasn’t because he didn’t believe she’d be anything short of exceptional, though — he told the outlet he knew she’d be incredible in the role. However, McHale shared that he and Michele weren’t catching up on the regular, either. “I haven’t talked to her in a while, to be honest,” he said. He didn’t share why that was the case, but it sounds pretty drama-free.
