Naya Rivera booted from 'Glee' after feuding with producers, rift with Lea Michele

There's only room for one "Glee" diva, and apparently it's Lea Michele.

Naya Rivera has been fired from the FOX series days after an initial report of an on-set feud involving the actresses surfaced, sources close to production confirm to the Daily News.

Rumors of a rift between the actresses began to swirl earlier this month, with a "major altercation" coming to head on set April 15, Us Weekly reported.

But it appears Rivera's disagreement that day was with producers, and Michele's name was caught in the crossfire.

"She went off," a source told The News about the on-set spat. "But it had nothing to do with Lea."

It was reported that Rivera was "jealous" of the attention on her Broadway-trained costar. Now it appears producers have had it.

Rivera has been "written out" of the season 5 finale, and will not return for the next season, according to PopWrapped.

"One costar would not have any power in whether another returns to the show," the production insider told The News, dismissing rumors that Michele had a say in the matter.

Aside from "Glee," both women have endured hardships in their personal lives — with Michele, 27, recovering from the death of her boyfriend and fellow "Glee" actor Cory Monteith, and Rivera ending her engagement to rapper Big Sean earlier this month.

This show is still on?

Honestly, Naya seems so desperate to make it, but she really isn't that good of an actress or singer for that matter. I total believe this. She thinks she is a big star, but really no one cares that much.

Plus, I think she is a nut job. I remember reading about her keying and trashing Mark Sallings car when they were dating (not exclusively) this was season 1 of the show. She got her friends involved and they literally egged it and messed it up.

Life imitating art, huh? I'm not sad to see Naya leave. I am really tired of Santana.

I am one of the few people who still watches Glee. It is awful, but I will watch it until the bitter end. I still like some of the musical numbers, if I ignore the overall plot.

I really, really wish Glee was ending this season. I can't imagine enduring one more season, but I will, of course.

It's supposedly untrue:

Naya Rivera isn’t going anywhere.
“Any reports or rumors circulating that Naya Rivera was let go or fired from Glee are absolutely untrue. End of story,” Rivera’s rep said in a statement from Fox to The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday.
Earlier Tuesday, the Daily News reported that Rivera had been fired from the show because of a feud with fellow co-star Lea Michele. PopWrapped had also reported that Rivera had been “written out” of the show’s Season 5 finale but Fox denies that report as well.
Sources also told The Hollywood Reporter that Rivera is currently on hiatus from the show and that she has not received letters of reprimand to change her behavior on set.
