Jenna ushkowitz on Cory Monteith

As this video gets more and more support (thank you 💙) I thought I would mention, I run a fan account for Cory on Instagram, I’m not using this to self promote but if anyone would be interested here’s the link 💙 - www.instagram.com/gleehislegacy/

For those unfamiliar with addiction. The time right after rehab is quite dangerous, especially in terms of overdose. Once you’ve had a period of sobriety, when you go back out, you might use the same amount of drugs you were using before, but your unaccustomed body can’t handle it.

“Was he like the leader in real life too?” “Yeah just because he was tall.” I think Cory would have laughed hearing that!

my god this cast has been through so much loss these last few years :(

i find it so heartwarming and beautiful how much the cast leaned on each other during the time of cory's passing. in naya's memoir, she said her and kevin were both in london when they found out and they immediately called each other and met up. jenna says here that her, chord, and harry were doing the same thing in new york. they all really were there for each other through it all, the good, the bad, everything in between. there's always gonna be something special about the glee cast

If everyone on this cast wrote a book I would read it, I wanted to read Naya's but the audible one and it's still a little hard for me on some days to hear her so I'm still getting there

Jenna was so professional here. This was filmed about the time everyone was dragging Lea Michele, and she was so kind to Lea here.

The quarterback episode makes me cry every time. The fact that all those emotions are real and not just acting is heart wrenching. Jenna is right though, the show was never the same after that.

I'm so glad she didn't use this as an opportunity to trash Lea. I know Lea has said and done things that deserve criticism, but we also have to recognize that people have interior lives we know nothing about. It doesn't excuse bad behavior, but we should be able to empathize, and I so appreciate Jenna being willing to NOT mention it in reference to Cory and instead say she was "the strongest person I know" because Lea coming back for that episode must have been so hard. I really love Jenna in this interview, she's so wholesome and honest and I wish her all the best in the future.

The show died for me then Not bcz I didn't love glee, it was just too heartbreaking. I couldn't watch. Im just returning to watch the whole series now in mid 2021.

Her cover of Pure Imagination is still one of my all time favorite songs. Love her.

i know a lot of people question how cory could be with someone like lea and i honestly understand, and even though she was known to be pretty bad before they dated, but i can’t help but feel like he made her better in a way. i mean...i didn’t even know him and he’s undoubtedly inspired me to be better. i really believe that her unpleasant qualities aside, cory saw the good in her….or at least he tried to. because that’s just the type of person i think he was and i love him for it. i believe cory had a personality that just naturally had a positive effect on all those around him. and sometimes i get the feeling that despite being opposites that they balanced each other out. i can’t bring myself to like and support lea after all that’s been revealed about her but i’ll always remember how much i loved their relationship and found comfort in it. when jenna said that they made each other better, that honestly made me feel really at peace. i also like to believe that lea loved him and i could never imagine what losing him must’ve been like for her. i hope she did the best she could to take care of him and be a good partner. i miss him and i miss them. i hope i’m not the only one who thinks so. okay i’m sorry i know this is long and idk how you feel about lea but this is just my two cents and i wanted to get it out there for once! thank you!

I wasn’t even a fan of glee when he died and I remember his death and it shocked me so much.

I was utterly heartbroken when Cory died. It's still crazy to me that's he's not here. As well as Naya 💔

I've never heard of Cory Monteith before the movie Monte Carlo. I saw that movie on HBO around a year and a half ago so to speak. And i saw him in the movie. But at the time i saw the movie, i thought he was taking a break from acting. Or that he was not famous anymore. I say because no one was talking about him. But after i saw Monte Carlo for the first time, i looked him up online and found out that he died back in 2013. I was a kid when Glee came out. And i heard it be talked about a lot. Though not many people talk about it now. But back to Monteith, i never saw any of his work when he was still alive. I really miss him despite the fact that I never saw Glee or any other works from him prior to his death.

i have a feeling “just because he was tall” is an inside joke that makes my heart warm

2:23 “He was our quarterback”😭😭

I will always miss, Cory! 🤧😫😭

cory and naya ill always been in my heart 💜

RIP Corey, 9 years today. 7/13/22
