Heather Morris responds to backlash after slamming an ‘offensive’ Glee fan post about Mark Salling
Heather Morris responded to backlash after she deemed a Glee fan post ‘offensive’ for covering up Mark Salling’s face with an emoji.
Kevin McHale initially retweeted a post which celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the show’s episode A Very Glee Christmas.
Morris was not pleased with the homage and was left defending her stance after fans pointed out that Salling pled guilty to possession of child pornography, but died by suicide in 2018 before he could be sentenced.

‘Ten years ago today ‘A Very Glee Christmas’ aired,’ the fan wrote with a heart emoji. ‘Artie got his magic legs, we all fell in love with Coach Beiste, and Brittany reignited the magic of Christmas for everyone.’
Heather was quick to note Mark’s face blurred by a vomiting emoji and wrote: ‘The vomit face on Mark’s face is offensive.’
She starred as cheerleader Brittany Pierce on the popular show which aired from 2009 to 2015.

Fans attacked Morris for defending someone who had been charged with possessing child pornography, only for Heather to respond via Twitter on Friday morning.
‘I don’t feel the need to ever justify something because somethings are better left unsaid. Y’all who have lots of things to say, I get it, I UNDERSTAND you…somethings are unforgivable. But this holiday season, amongst ALL holiday seasons is INCREDIBLE hard for so many of us,’ she tweeted.
‘We did not loose just 2 cast members, we lost 3. And it is SO incredible tough to have to act like that 3rd one is invisible, because even though his actions are unjustifiable, he was a part of our family at one point and he was mentally SICK. Yes pedophelia is a sickness but…’

‘Although I don’t want to have to say all that, its truthful,’ she added. ‘So THANK YOU for treated me with such disrespect and unkindness during a time that I can’t get through a day without balling my eyes out at the loss of my entire Glee family… thank you.’
Heather’s co-star and on-screen love Naya Rivera drowned earlier this year in a tragic boating accident on Lake Piru in July.
