A sexy photo shoot depicting your favorite Glee characters as sexpots has a parents group up in arms. Lea Michele, Dianna Agron and Cory Monteith strike sexy poses in the new Glee centered GQ!

THE makers of hit television show Glee and GQ magazine have come under fire from a parents group after three cast members posed in a racy new photo spread.

Appearing alongside their fully-clothed male costar Cory Monteith, Glee actresses Lea Michele and Dianna Agron are shown scantily clad in the pictures, wearing only bras and panties or short skirts and midriff-baring tops.

Despite the fact that the actresses are both 24-years-old and Monteith is 28, the Parents Television Council (PTC) said the spread 'borders on paedophilia.'

'It is disturbing that GQ, which is explicitly written for adult men, is sexualizing the actresses who play high school-aged characters on Glee in this way. It borders on paedophilia,' PTC president Tim Winter said in a statement.

Winter argued the 'near-pornographic' photos, which also feature what he calls a 'full-frontal crotch shot,' were overly sexualized and suggested the FOX show was moving in a direction that 'isn’t good for families.'
Michele, 24, said she was inspired to get into acting and music by Barbra Streisand's character in Funny Girl in the November issue of GQ magazine, the New York Post reported.

'She's like, 'I can't sing about how beautiful I am because I'm not beautiful,' she said.

Michele says she was never one of the pretty girls as a teen and was ostracized for not getting a nose job, 'I was one of the only girls in my high school that didn't get one... And if anybody needed it, I probably did. But my mom always told me, 'Barbra Streisand didn't get a nose job. You're not getting a nose job.' And I didn't.'

She added, 'I'm proud to be on a positive show and to be a voice for girls and say, 'You don't need to look like everybody else. Love who you are.'

Co-stars Cory Monteith and Dianna Agron also appear in the racy photo shoot, with Agron admitting she's 'never been shot in so little clothing.'

Original Story, 7/13/20: Lea Michele has deleted her Twitter as the search continues for her Glee costar Naya Rivera, who went missing following a boat ride with her son. Lea recently got a ton of backlash from fans who were upset that she hadn’t spoken out about Naya’s disappearance—especially since so many other Glee stars have asked their followers to pray for Naya’s safe return.

But the backlash over Lea’s silence has included some pretty awful tweets—including death threats—which some fans think is the reason she deleted the app. The actress’s name even started trending on Twitter, which many people felt took focus away from the search for Naya.

FYI, the deactivation of Lea’s account comes several weeks after members of the Glee cast revealed her pattern of racist behavior on-set. In a statement posted to Instagram, Lea said she “doesn’t remember” the instances on-set but she “clearly acted in ways which hurt other people.” She went on to claim she will do “better in the future from this experience.”

Lea had been almost entirely silent on social media since posting this statement back in June, although according to Us Weekly, she shared a picture of her pregnant belly during a hike on July 3.
