“She’s an ambitious little freak who will do anything to hold on to her power.” –Tina was right the whole time!
We recently asked the members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what they thought were the worst things Rachel Berry did on Glee. Get ready, ’cause here’s what they said:
Fox
1.
When she accused the previous glee club director of inappropriately touching a student* because he did not give her a solo she felt she deserved.
Fox
*To be clear, that teacher did do that, but that’s not the reason she told the principal.
2.
When she said Artie shouldn’t sing the lead in “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat” in the pilot because he was a wheelchair user.
Fox
3.
When she dropped out of the glee club because Mr. Schuester gave the West Side Story solo to Tina instead of her.
Fox
4.
When Mercedes suggested that the glee club sing more songs by Black artists, and Rachel responded, ‘It’s glee club, not krunk club.'”
“Honestly, though, how did people not immediately call it out as racism?”
5.
When she had Puck, Jesse, and Finn do a music video of “Run Joey Run” with her so it would look like all the boys were fighting over her.
Fox
6.
When she sent Sunshine Corazón to a crack house instead of telling her where glee club practice was because she was threatened by the possibility of another talented singer taking her spotlight…
Fox
7.
…and when she told Mike and Tina that she did it so that their dancing contributions wouldn’t be “even more insignificant” to the club.
Fox
8.
When she put tape on her mouth in “silent protest” because she wasn’t getting a solo for a competition.
Fox
“Rachel was so upset that she wasn’t getting a solo for Sectionals because Mr. Schuester wanted to highlight Mike and Brittany’s dancing and Sam and Quinn’s voices that she wore duct tape on her mouth to practice. She claimed it was in ‘silent protest’ and whined about how her talents were ‘wasted in the club’ and her ‘star shined too bright.’ Then she got a solo at every single competition moving forward except for the one she couldn’t do because she was suspended.”

9.
When she cheated on Finn with Puck, his best friend, after finding out that Finn had slept with Santana when he and Rachel weren’t dating.
Fox
“And she tried to gaslight him with the impossible promise he made not to break up with her. Finn had every right to dump her ass.”
10.
When she pursued Blaine, knowing that Kurt really liked him.
Fox
“Not only is that a blow to her best friend, but it’s also pretty offensive to gay men. Like, you really think you can turn a gay man straight or bisexual because of a drunken kiss?”
11.
When she ran for class president against Kurt, not because she had any kind of platform she wanted to implement, but because she thought she hadn’t gotten the lead in West Side Story and wanted to put it on her college application…
Fox
12.
…and when she felt guilty about it and stuffed the ballot box so he’d win, which got him disqualified.
Fox
“She didn’t stuff the ballot box because she cared about him winning for his sake, but because she wanted a gay best friend living with her in NYC. She almost got him suspended!”

Become a founding memberWhen she and Mercedes both auditioned for Maria in West Side Story and Rachel acted like the role was hers to lose.
Fox
“There was so much attention on Rachel and her fragile self-worth, but everyone was okay with hurting Mercedes’ feelings when Mercedes did a better job at the callbacks.”
14.
When she lived in New York City with Kurt and treated him horribly.
Fox
“She moved her boyfriend into the loft without even consulting Kurt, had loud sex all the time, and let him walk around butt naked. Then she had the nerve to treat Kurt like absolute trash at school and at home. Then they competed at school and she played the victim and sulked when he rightfully beat her.”
15.
When she had a completely absurd reaction when Santana auditioned to be her understudy in Funny Girl in Season 5, ending their friendship and moving out of their apartment.
Fox
“Why in the hell did she destroy their friendship over that? If you’re gonna be the lead in a Broadway show, you need an understudy!”
16.
When she told Kurt — a gay man who she’d witnessed be horrifically bullied in high school for being out — that he never took risks when he suggested that dropping out of college was a bad idea.
Fox
17.
When she skipped her Funny Girl performance without giving anyone a heads up to go audition for a TV pilot in Los Angeles, because she decided she was too big for Broadway.
Fox
“She worked her whole life to play Fanny Brice! She actually managed to get the damn part, and abandoned all the effort she put into getting where she was. Makes me mad just writing about it!”
18.
And finally, when she did That’s So Rachel.
Fox
Rachel’s short-lived sitcom (which was loosely based on her life) managed to be offensive, nonsensical, and entirely unfunny in the two-minute clip shown on TV. The fact that she left Funny Girl for this shows exactly why her talent shouldn’t excuse her bratty behavior.
