When #Glee first came to our screens in 2009, viewers were captivated by the feet-tapping, all-dancing covers from William McKinley High School's highly ambitious students who dreamt of making it big in the music world.

However, after a slew of distressing instances occurred behind-the-scenes, the term "the Glee curse" was coined by an online social conspiracist. Here's why…

#CoryMonteith's drink and drug battle
Cory, who played McKinley, revealed he had a "serious problem" with drugs in 2009. He headed to rehab for "substance addiction" for a month-long treatment. Cory relapsed and overdosed on heroin and alcohol, tragically passing away at 31.

#NayaRivera's accidental drowning
In one of the show's biggest tragedies, Naya Rivera drowned saving her then-four-year-old son Josey Dorsey during a boating trip at Lake Piru, California. Her body was recovered six days after she went missing. She was 33. trib.al/Ho7gI9j

#LeaMichele's allegations of bullying
Lea, who played Rachel Berry, was accused of on-set bullying, which first began in 2020 when her former co-star Samantha Ware tweeted that Lea behaved with "traumatic microaggressions" towards her on set. trib.al/Ho7gI9j

Lea's other co-stars backed the claims, with Heather Morris saying: "Was she unpleasant to work with? Very much so; for Lea to treat others with the disrespect that she did for as long as she did, I believe she SHOULD be called out." trib.al/Ho7gI9j
