The cast of Glee have faced a number of controversies and tragedies over the years - the latest is the tragic death of Santana star Naya Rivera
Dark side of Glee - from Lea Michele bullying accusations to Naya Rivera's tragic death
Glee followed the dramatic lives of a group of teenagers in a singing club in a fictional American high school.
But it turns out most of the drama happened off camera as this TV series, which ran from 2009 to 2015, had a very dark side.
The latest tragedy to be faced by Glee stars is the death of Naya Rivera at 33.
Also recently, Lea Michele has been accused of bullying her co-star Samantha Ware, who said she made her life "a living hell" during filming.
There was also the tragic death of Cory Monteith from an accidental overdose, while Mark Salling took his own life after he pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography involving a prepubescent minor.
Here we take a look at the dark side of Glee and how things were very different behind the scenes...
Naya Rivera

Naya has tragically died at the age of 33.
Her body was recovered in Lake Piru, California, on July 13, 2020.
She had gone missing on July 8 while out on a pontoon boat with her four-year-old son Josey.
After he was found by people in another boat, Josey told authorities that his mum had gone into the water and hadn't come back, and it was later confirmed that she wasn't wearing a life jacket.
A huge search effort was launched, but police said the murky conditions of the water made their job very difficult, and they had to suspend the search during night times.
Naya's body was found days later, on the seventh anniversary of her co-star Cory's death.
Police ruled out suicide and believe she saved her son's life in her final moments.
Back in November 2017, Naya was charged with domestic battery after allegedly hitting her then husband, Ryan Dorsey, in the head and face at Thanksgiving.
Ryan told police she had hit him in the head and on the bottom lip while they were taking their child for a walk down the street, and gave cops a cell phone video of the assault.
The actress, who played Santana Lopez, didn't face prosecution after Ryan later dropped the charges.
They were divorced the following year.

In her 2016 memoir Sorry Not Sorry, Naya said the Glee cast had "the sex drive of bunnies and the bed-hopping skills of a polygamist cult".
She also claimed that Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz's house was nicknamed "the Love Nest" as that's where the cast would party and have sex with each other.
The book also detailed her alleged feud with Lea, which she blamed on her foe not wanting to share the spotlight.
Naya wrote: "She had a hard time separating work from our outside friendship, whereas it was a lot easier for me…
"Lea was a lot more sensitive, though, and sometimes it seemed like she blamed me for anything and everything that went wrong."

Lea later responded with a lengthy statement, apologising for the way her actions had made her feel.
Following Naya's disappearance, Lea deleted her Twitter account, with fans believing she left the social media platform after facing sick trolling about their strained relationship.

While there are no specific lockdown period worries to look out for, it could also be a chance to keep a better eye on what's going on down there.

Dr Datta said: "Red flag signs which I'm always on the look out for as a Gynaecologist include irregular periods, a change in the heaviness of periods and bleeding in between periods or after sex.
"If these occur regularly, it may be your body's way of highlighting a possible polyp or fibroid for example, which you would benefit from getting checked over by a specialist.
"If your periods are becoming more painful, I would also encourage women to seek advice."
Even though many GP services aren't doing face-to-face appointments at the moment, Dr Datta stressed that it's still possible to get medical treatment.
She said: "Right now, there is a lot of support available remotely - for example, through telephone consultations right through to virtual appointments. Now's a good time to seek medical advice, even if remotely initially on the health problems you're aware of and plan for how these can be managed.
"If in doubt, contact NHS 111 or your GP in the first instance.
"And remember that whilst hospital have certain sections to treat COVID patients, we are still seeing plenty of other patients with other problems."
From May 18 to June 14, INTIMINA will donate £5 from every menstrual cup sold on intimina.com to the charity Freedom4Girls to help in the fight against period poverty.

Controversial lender Amigo Loans is under investigation for potentially mis-selling thousands of pounds worth of debt to vulnerable customers .
The Financial Conduct Authority ( FCA ) said a fresh probe was launched last week over the lender asking borrowers to sign up family or friends as guarantors .
The cash provider said that the investigation would focus on whether or not its credit checks on borrowers were carried out in line with lending rules that determine whether the customers will be able to pay the debt back .
Amigo Loans , which is based in Bournemouth , lends up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scores at an interest rate of 49.9 % .
Its requirement for guarantors can mean that friends and relatives are asked to pay off the debt if the original borrower fails to do so .
However , poor affordability checks to begin with could mean guarantors are at a higher risk of having to foot the bill .
Amigo was recently accused by its own founder of lending irresponsibly and failing to tackle an increase in the number of consumer complaints from those who feel they should have never been given a loan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lenders that have faced a deluge of complaints from customers who were wrongly sold loans over the past 5 years - a move which led to the demise of Wonga .

Today 's news comes just two months after rent-to-own retailer BrightHouse collapsed following an influx of compensation claims around affordability checks .

The firm had been struggling with high levels of complaints in recent years , including paying £14.8m in redress back in 2017 .
It had also been affected by the introduction of rent-to-own ( RTO ) caps in 2019 which limited how much interest and charges firms could pass on to customers .

Amigo lends money to people with a poor credit history, but has been criticised for asking borrowers to sign up family or friends as guarantors
Controversial lender Amigo Loans is under investigation for potentially mis-selling thousands of pounds worth of debt to vulnerable customers.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has launched a fresh probe into the firm over concerns around its affordability checks for those who apply for loans.
The cash provider said that the investigation would focus on whether or not its credit checks on borrowers were carried out in line with lending rules that determine whether the customers will be able to pay the debt back.
Amigo Loans, which is based in Bournemouth, lends up to £10,000 to borrowers with poor credit scores at an interest rate of 49.9%.
Its requirement for guarantors can mean that friends and relatives are asked to pay off the debt if the original borrower fails to do so.

It warns: "The very last thing the travel industry needs is a mandatory quarantine imposed on all arriving passengers, which will deter foreign visitors from coming here, deter UK visitors from travelling abroad and, most likely, cause other countries to impose reciprocal quarantine requirements on British visitors, as France has already announced".

But other countries desperate to allow visitors back in are considering alternative measures for people entering, such as coronavirus tests at the airport and temperature checks.
Here's a look at some of the countries that do not require travellers to automatically isolate upon arrival.
Although, a positive coronavirus test will almost certainly result in a mandatory quarantine wherever you are.
Portugal
Brits may be allowed to go from this weekend, although visitors will face health checks at airports and be referred to the authorities if they appear unwell.
If heading to Madeira or Porto Santo however, then the FCO says as well as a health screening, you will face a 14-days’ mandatory quarantine.
If you are travelling to the Azores, you must show proof of a negative COVID-19 test which was carried out in the last 72 hours or take a test on arrival and await the results in quarantine.

The country is set to open its borders on July 1 and the mandatory two-week quarantine is set to be lifted from June 21 for some visitors.
However, government ministers have warned that the UK infection rate 'needs to improve' before its citizens are allowed in.
Germany
Brits will be able to travel from June 15 with no quarantine - but FCO advice stresses travellers still need a valid reason for entering Germany
Iceland

The Icelandic Government has announced plans to lift travel restrictions for international visitors by June 15 at the latest.
But all passengers arriving at Keflavik Airport will be tested for coronavirus and are expected to receive the results the same day.
According to the FCO, if people refuse the test, they will face two weeks self-isolation.
Italy
Italy is reopening its border to tourists from the UK on June 3.
And travellers will not be required to quarantine -unless they have been to a non-approved country, such as the USA, in the 14 days before arriving in Italy.
Austria
In order to dodge quarantine, travellers must present a certificate proving a negative test result for coronavirus within the past four days.
In airports such as Vienna, arrivals can pay for an on-site test and will also have their temperatures taken.

Here’s everything you need to know about Blackout Tuesday, including what it is, and how you can help.
What is Blackout Tuesday?
Blackout Tuesday is an event intended to highlight racial injustice and give attention to black voices that might otherwise not be heard.
The event was originally organised by Jamila Thomas, senior director of marketing at Atlantic Records, and Brianna Agyemang, a senior artist campaign manager at Platoon.
The founders used the hashtag #TheShowMustBePaused, and called for members of the music industry to “take a beat for an honest reflective, and productive conversation about what actions we need to collectively take to support the black community.”
The pair explained: “The music industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. An industry that has profited predominately from Black Art. Our mission is to hold the industry at large, including major corporations + their partners who benefit from the efforts, struggles and success of Black people accountable.”
It remains unclear when it became labelled Blackout Tuesday, or when sharing a black square became a sign of participation.
How can you get involved?
If you want to get involved, it’s not simply a matter of posting a black square to your Instagram or Twitter account.

Take That fans around the country could hardly contain their excitement when Gary Barlow , Howard Donald , Mark Owen and Robbie Williams reunited for one special lockdown Take That concert .

However , at a band meeting last week I confirmed to Mark , Gary , and Howard , that I do not wish to commit to recording and promoting a new album .
