After Show: The Craziest Lea Michele Rumor

Bethenny Frankel and Lea Michele stopped by Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on May 2. During the ladies' joint appearance, the conversation turned to the crazy rumors the actress and The Real Housewives of New York City cast mate have heard about themselves. 

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.

A caller asked the Glee star about a particularly bizarre conspiracy theory regarding her ability to read. "I woke up one day, and all of the sudden, someone had made a 45-minute-long conspiracy video [online] trying to prove that I can't read or write," Lea Michele laughed. "By the way, not only do I have to memorize pages and pages [of scripts], they said [Glee director] Ryan Murphy would have to read the lines to me." 

That's a pretty nutty rumor, but Bethenny was able to match it. When Lea Michele asked the Skinnygirl mogul if she'd heard anything crazy about herself, Bethenny shared some scuttlebutt involving herself and Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino

Watch the clip above to find out what that rumor is. "It's so random, but I kind of now like it, it's so ridiculous," Bethenny said.
