While the book release will mark Barbra's first ever memoir, this is not the first time Lea has poked fun at the viral rumor, which according to i-D, stemmed from a 2017 video made by podcasters.

Back in September, Lea posted a TikTok to an audio clip of Kim Kardashian saying, "It's amazing but wait, can you talk for a sec?" The clip was paired with the words, "Calling Jonathan [Groff] to read me the comments on my first TikTok."

Then in November, Lea kept the ball rolling by responding to a fan who praised her "gooddd genes," jokingly writing back, "These are the comments I like to READ."

Despite being able to have a laugh about the internet theory, Lea has also taken the time to address the chatter in a more serious fashion

"I went to Glee every single day; I knew my lines every single day," she told The New York Times in September. "And then there's a rumor online that I can't read or write? It's sad. It really is. I think often if I were a man, a lot of this wouldn't be the case."
