Rachel and Santana's on screen feud was a culmination of the off-screen drama between Lea Michele and Naya Rivera. Michele, by time the sixth season had begun to shoot, had garnered a reputation of being a diva; several cast members over the years had said Michele is extremely difficult to work with - Rivera especially was extremely vocal about Michele's attitude regarding screen time and treatment of her costars. As a result, Rivera's role was drastically reduced as Rachel Berry was considered by the show runners as the female lead. It was a decision that led to a permanent disintegration between the two and any chance of reconciliation ended with Rivera's unexpected passing in July 2020. In 2021, Michele was called out by former castmate Samantha Marie Ware for making her life "a living hell" on the set with a series of "traumatic microaggressions." Several other cast members chimed in to support Ware's comments, and Heather Morris followed with a tweet saying that Michele was "very unpleasant to work with" and that she "should be called out." Morris also wrote that some of the blame was on the cast for letting her alleged behavior go on for so long without speaking up about it. "I remember getting so much shade because people were like, 'This is so f---ing cryptic,' like, 'Why don't you just go and say it?'" she told Pellegrino about her tweet. "I'm like, 'Guys, she's pregnant, and all this stuff is going around, and it's true' -- and I don't know if maybe we were victims of bullying, and that's a typical victim thing to do is to blame yourself, which people were saying. But it also is very true, and the only person who was honest about it was Naya (Rivera). And it was something that was very hush-hush on set." Morris alluded to the climate of the entertainment world at the time, when it wasn't as common for bullying and harassment to be called out publicly as it is now.
