 Last week, on Monday, May 25th, an innocent and defenseless black man was killed while in a police restraint.

George Floyd was arrested and forced to the ground...

And former police officer, Derek Chauvin, knelt on his neck, while 3 other officers knelt on his back.

Footage of George's "arrest" quickly circulated on social media...

 And, in the highly distressing scenes, he could be heard begging with the officers to release him and repeatedly saying "Please, please... I can't breathe."

After nearly ten minutes, George was completely unresponsive.

An ambulance arrived and took the unconscious man to hospital but, devastatingly, he was pronounced dead upon arrival. He was only forty-six-years-old.

This kind of police brutality has been happening for centuries now...

 But change needs to be done and, at the moment, this seems like the only way to make it happen.

And, remarkably, they seem to be working.

Thanks to these riots, the Black Lives Matter movement is dominating global headlines, and it has completely taken over social media.

Everyone is talking about it.

Today, the hashtag #BlackOutTuesday started trending, with people from all over the world posting a blank black picture to demonstrate their solidarity with the movement.

And, of course, an array of celebrities have been jumping on board to show their support.

So many famous faces, such as Madonna, Barack Obama, and Ice Cube, have been speaking out against the racism and injustice in, not only this country, but the rest of the world.

These famous figures have been using their platform to highlight the ongoing issues black men and women face every day...

And they have been urging their followers to educate themselves, donate to useful causes, and to strive towards a racism-free future.

But, despite all the good that these celebrities may think they're doing...

Many have been facing backlash for their messages regarding the Black Lives Matter movement.

Some celebrities have been criticized as being "tone-deaf" with their approach to the issue...

For example, TV host, Ellen DeGeneres, recently faced backlash after addressing the topic on Twitter.

And now, Lea Michele is the latest famous face to come under fire.

Lea, who is best known for her role as Rachel Berry in the hit musical series, Glee, has recently felt the heat from her former cast members after she posted about her support regarding the Black Lives Matter movement.

Now, Lea's role in Glee was a roaring success...

But it seems that, behind the cameras, things weren't all so smooth sailing.

Lea's co-stars from the series have recently called her out for her behavior on the show...

And fans are completely shocked.

Lea had shared this tweet about the tragic death of George Floyd.

She wrote, "George Floyd did not deserve this. This was not an isolated incident and it must end. #BlackLivesMatter."

But people are not happy with the actress.

Lea's former co-star, Samantha Ware, who starred as Jane Hayward in the sixth series of the show, immediately reshared her tweet and reminded her of the time she made her life a "living hell" on set.

Her claims are truly shocking.

Was Lea really a racially-aggravated bully?

Other famous faces started speaking out in support...

Including the actress, Yvette Nicole Brown, who wrote, "I felt every one of those capital letters."

But then, another former Glee star came forward with their input...

Alex Newall, who joined the show in the fourth season, not only echoed Yvette Nicole Brown's support, but he quickly shared a meme of RuPaul looking on through binoculars.

The backlash continued...

And thousands of people came forward to slam Lea for her supposed behavior with black people in the past.

Lea is yet to comment on these damning accusations.

So, for now, all we can do is wait. But for more on the controversial actress, keep scrolling...
