14-year-old Oscar bait Hailee Steinfeld told J-14 Magazine that one of her most embarrassing moments came when she was in costume auditioning for True Grit, she saw Lea Michele, star of Glee, on the same lot and asked for an autograph. Hailee walked up to her and a guy came and said, “Sorry, now’s not a good time!”
She continued, “I had to walk all the way back to the car wearing what I was wearing. I was practically crying on the way home. I was so sad! But she’s beautiful and she has an amazing voice.”
Lea Michele, realizing that Hailee is now famous, told GossipCop that she feels terrible about what happened but that it wasn’t her fault.
“I heard Hailee was upset and feel terrible. The ‘Glee’ schedule is so jam-packed that the PA probably pulled me so that I wouldn’t be late to set. I never meant to hurt her feelings. She’s an extraordinary talent and I look forward to meeting her one day.”
Later, a homeless kid tapped Lea on the shoulder asking for change and she freaked out and punched him in the face. She promptly went home to scrub herself with an iron loofah.
