The gig came three months after I popped a baby out so I felt fat as all hell

For some reason this reminded me of SATC when the guy is an ass to Miranda because she's "fat" and Charlotte goes SHE JUST HAD A BABY. I don't care to nor do I think it's necessary to analyse Idina's statement too deeply but as someone who deals with women justifying why they gained weight compared to their pictures (and most of the times it's barely noticeable) I just find it incredibly sad how women always feel the need to explain their bodies somehow.

i don't think idina was too young for the role. lea was too old.

lea was too old.

She was 24, dude.

[glitterslugs]

Adults have been playing teenagers on tv since forever though.

Edited for unnecessary pissiness.

40 is old enough to be the mother of a 26 year old.🤷‍♀️ Teen mom, but still mom.

Wasn't Leah Michelle's character supposed to be an older high schooler (16-18)?

Assuming her character was also 40, I don't see what the big deal is about her playing the mother of a teenager.

wasn't she playing a teen mom? they were being generous to her

ok but glee would have been very funny if lea was playing a 26 year old high schooler
