Charice Ousted From Glee to Please Lea Michele: Report

Charice was introduced in Glee season 2 in the show’s premiere as Sunshine Corazon, an exchange student from the Philippines. She performed two two songs in the episode including a powerful ‘audition’ number, a rendition of ‘Listen’ from Dreamgirls that was, at the very least, better than the original. However, Charice was canned after this episode. Why?
“Charice was signed for a minimum of five episodes and did a press junket with [fellow new star] Chord Overstreet. She had a big debut, but things changed and they didn’t put her back in. The word is, Lea is the big star, and producers want to keep her happy,” the source of the New York Post revealed.
This, or course, was denied by Glee. A spokesperson for the FOX series released the following statement on the issue:
“This is categorically untrue. We love Charice, and she was a wonderful addition to Glee last season. While it is true that she appeared in fewer episodes last year than we originally anticipated, this was due to her busy schedule and the natural creative process in which some story arcs … did not materialize as planned. Lea is a consummate pro who couldn’t be more welcoming of other powerhouse singers on the show, from Kristin Chenoweth to Idina Menzel, who is set to reprise her role as Rachel’s birth mom this fall.”
