Lea Michele's Home Became Tour Stop After Cory Monteith Death

Lea Michele opened up about the painful aftermath of her Glee co-star and partner Cory Monteith's death in 2013, revealing that her West Hollywood home became a stop on a "Hollywood tragedy" tour bus route, which passed by daily playing eerie music and recounting details of Monteith's overdose. Michele described the experience as "so, so depressing," which ultimately led her to move to a more private home deep in the Pacific Palisades to escape the constant reminders. She shared that the loss fractured her relationships with some Glee castmates and left her feeling unsupported at times, though she personally felt some support. Despite the personal and professional challenges, including returning to work on Glee just a month after Monteith's death to support the crew, Michele reflected on the experience as a difficult but formative period in her life. The actress also continues to honor Monteith's memory, marking the 10th anniversary of his passing with emotional tributes. Michele’s reflections underscore the harsh realities of public grief and the intrusion of fame into private mourning.
