Lea Michele Gushes About Carole Radziwill

It turns out the 'Glee' beauty has a sweet spot in her heart for RHONY.

By Mike Hess


Did you find yourself fawning over the smart, spunky Carole Radziwill during her rookie season of Real Housewives of New York this year? So did Lea Michele, who found herself a bit starstruck with Carole (via phone) recently.

As the cover girl for the new issue of Marie Claire, Michele was being interviewed when the author suddenly got a phone call -- and her screen illuminated with Carole's name. The rest unfolds in the pages of the magazine:

"No!" Michele shrieks, her enormous brown eyes growing round as saucers. "OK, this is crazy. Can you please pick up?" Michele, it turns out, is a huge RHONY fan. I hand her the phone, and she gushes, "Carole, don't be embarrassed. I have to say, I think you're the greatest . . . Are you crazy?! It's going to happen. You officially have a stalker." When she hangs up, she immediately texts Glee costar Chris Colfer, her Housewives-viewing buddy, to tell him she's found an "in." Two minutes later, he responds: "You're crazy. Shut up. I am so excited. Cannot wait. Amazing."

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.



It's no shocker that Lea's a Bravo fan (she's a Watch What Happens Live legend), but little did we know she had such affection for our newest RHONY 'Wife. Could there be a Glee cameo in Carole's future? Or vice-versa with Lea on RHONY? Only time will tell, but this sounds like the beginning of a wonderful friendship.
