UPDATE: Turns out Colfer’s twitter was hacked. Good news is that enough people cared that Glee immediately trended on Twitter. That probably hasn’t happened in YEARS.

Chris Colfer tweeted that “Due to personal issues, I have been let go from the cast of GLEE. Explanations will come shortly…”

Is Glee really letting Kurt Hummel go before the final season? What an asinine move, and if this is Colfer’s decision… he wouldn’t be famous without Glee. Knowing it has one season left, why would he jump ship? Such a bizarre twist of events.

He is slated to be on Jimmy Kimmel on July 8th. Perhaps he will give more details then.

We will keep you posted on this as it develops…
