Cory Monteith Made Leah Michele Feel Really Special

Ugh, again, I hate when I have to sympathize with Lea “cannonballs are the first thing that come to mind when thinking of airborne objects” Michele, but I do. Having lost her (possible fiancé and) boyfriend Cory Monteith earlier this year, she’s really had to come to terms with moving on and getting herself together. While appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week, she recalled how Cory first revealed their relationship on Ellen’s show and how much knowing that meant to her.

“It’s one of my favorite memories. I remember when he came home that night he kind of puffed out his chest and he was like, ‘I talked about you on Ellen today’.

“I was so happy. He’s such a private person and I literally lived every day of my life feeling like the luckiest girl in the whole world. I just thought he was the greatest man and so at that moment, that memory, it means so much to me.”

Aw, that is really sweet. AND REALLY SAD. Seriously, I would not be able to get my shit together if that happened to me – at least not so quickly – so you have to commend Lea for putting on a brave face and managing to continue with her work and career. Maybe that’s a distraction for her, of course – keeping busy means less time to think about the fact that the person you love isn’t there anymore, I suppose. Either way, this shit is still really sad.

  • I was under the impression that this was a made-for-TV sham romance. Now, she’s stuck in the position of having to carry on as a grieving sham girlfriend. I don’t doubt that she loved him and they were very good friends, but it’s time to stop exploiting it now.

    • Agreed.
      I thought they had broke up a long time before he was dead or that the romance was fake. And she is plugging her album HARD lately and ‘by coincedence’ Cory is brought up every goddamn time. It sounds horrible saying this, but without his death she wouldn’t even have gotten coverage on this album in the media. She is not really relevant outside Glee and before he died she was mostly known as the ‘annoying arrogant one’ from Glee. Every gossippost I read about her was negative, claiming she thought she was the next big thing on Broadway etc. Basically the same as her char on Glee.
