She’s honestly so privileged and self involved and that really shows through in this book lol. Ugh. Thanks for reading this one so we don’t have to 😂

[@lifegirl7]

I wish I had just a little bit of Lea's audacity and ability to just ignore the reality around her.

[@AJ-cu4zj]

I immediately think of David Hasselhoff on the floor, ranting and raving at his daughter, and utterly failing to eat a cheeseburger

[@LorraineVirginie]

Lea is also Jewish I believe so that may be what she meant when talking about representation , but I agree, she’s still literally the beauty standard and acting like it’s some shock she could be successful with her looks.

[@___3988]

Omg her freaking nose. Does she genuinely think that's what's wrong with her? I mean, yeah, she's got a nose, but if I saw her on the street I would think she's really pretty, nose and all. Girl, it's not the nose. I think it's your personality 😂 Edit: I literally thought about this all night. I know body dysmorphia is a real thing, and I don't want to dismiss it or negate her feelings by saying I think she's gorgeous. However, when she talks about "representation" - I can't. She is a talented woman, and misogyny is a real thing, but I don't think she's breaking all the glass ceilings she thinks she's breaking.

[@LorraineVirginie]

You can tell her relationship with food is… something… yikes

[@Toni9Jean]

"Everything is the same for all of us" LMFAO no girl. Just no.

[@mayaflici374]

Why is she giving the most basic recipes for flavored water 😂😂😂 it's like a magazine that gives you the most basic articles on skincare and self care just to fill in sections 😅😅

[@LorraineVirginie]

Also, spring awakening is an amazing show. It’s one of the best musicals I’ve ever seen. It is worth watching if you have the chance.

[@rowanmonteith3974]

I was under impression Lea’s memoir would be chock full of ego stroking narcissistic vomit fuel 😵‍💫

[@oliviafairley4351]

I read the book and it’s nothing like the way you’re describing it. The book is really good and you’re making her out to be the villain. Love lea💞💞

[@beryla4979]

Right like these two seem really biased and already have a fixated opinion on lea so are mocking her whenever they get the chance and I also don't like when they try to bring cory into it around 30:20 because if they did their research they'd know that he actually read the book and give lea notes.

Jealous girls. Stay mad. Lea is thriving

[@snoozyq9576]

You stay mad lol these gals are thriving. They quit their jobs and are comedians, following their passion. Also everyone knows Lea's a b***

[@mayaflici374]

Oh she definetly is, if thriving is "having a ghost written book that had mediocre reviews and getting her sponsorship cancelled while being known as universally hard to work with"

[@rambambobam1268]

@@mayaflici374 yeah 4 years ago. Also the book wasn’t ghost written. And she has starred in funny girl with rave reviews. Selling out shows. Just had a concert a sold out solo concert at Carnegie Hall. Has he next broadway show lined up eligible for a Tony. A husband and son who love her so and people like you who are so worried and concerned about her and what she’s done brining it up everytime they see something of her. So Yes she’s thriving Lea is thriving. If you don’t like her. Why so worried about her? 🤣
