End of story,&#8221; says Rivera&#8217;s representative in a statement issued to media like EW.<\/p>\n<p>A statement issued to E! not only reiterates she was not fired but downplays any connection between her alleged heat with Lea Michele and absence from the season finale.<\/p>\n<p>Speculation regarding Rivera&#8217;s status on the show began earlier this month when a TMZ report alleged workplace tension between the actress and &#8220;Glee&#8221; lead Lea Michele.  One set of TMZ&#8217;s sources claimed that Rivera, amid the drama, &#8220;got tossed off the set&#8221; and was fired by the show&#8217;s producers.<\/p>\n<p>Once reports broke that Rivera, despite reports to the contrary, would not be appearing in the season finale, several gossip bloggers felt confident running with the story that she was fired and dropped from plans for season six.<\/p>\n<p>It was a safe move.  That Rivera is not appearing in the season five finale suggests <i>something<\/i> might have gone down, and if she ever did appear in season six, they could simply claim the two sides hashed out their differences.<\/p>\n<p>But, if Rivera&#8217;s camp is to be believed, there is absolutely nothing factual about that suggestion.  According to that team, any absence from future episodes is not the result of a firing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[255,68,502],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Naya Rivera&#039;s Rep Claims &quot;Glee&quot; Firing Rumors are Untrue<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Amid reports that Naya Rivera will not be appearing in the season finale of &quot;Glee,&quot; numerous outlets published speculative gossip claiming the actress had\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/04\/30\/naya-riveras-rep-claims-glee-firing-rumors-untrue\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Naya Rivera&#039;s Rep Claims &quot;Glee&quot; Firing Rumors are Untrue\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Amid reports that Naya Rivera will not be appearing in the season finale of &quot;Glee,&quot; numerous outlets published speculative gossip claiming the actress had\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/04\/30\/naya-riveras-rep-claims-glee-firing-rumors-untrue\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-04-30T05:41:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2014-04-30T05:48:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/04\/30\/naya-riveras-rep-claims-glee-firing-rumors-untrue\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/04\/30\/naya-riveras-rep-claims-glee-firing-rumors-untrue\/\",\"name\":\"Naya Rivera's Rep Claims \\\"Glee\\\" Firing Rumors are Untrue\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2014-04-30T05:41:11+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2014-04-30T05:48:39+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Amid reports that Naya Rivera will not be appearing in the season finale of \\\"Glee,\\\" numerous outlets published speculative gossip claiming the actress had\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/04\/30\/naya-riveras-rep-claims-glee-firing-rumors-untrue\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
