Heather Morris blasts ‘Glee’ fan for ‘offensive’ post about Mark Salling

Former “Glee” star Heather Morris called out a fan who tweeted an “offensive” post about her late co-star Mark Salling, who died by suicide in 2018 amid a child porn scandal.

Morris’ other co-star, Kevin McHale, re-shared the fan’s tweet that celebrated the 10th anniversary of the show’s holiday episode “A Very Glee Christmas,” and tweeted, “This album goes hard tho.”

In the photo post, however, the fan had covered Salling with a vomit-face emoji.

“the vomit face on Marks face is offensive,” Morris, 33, responded.

Salling died by suicide in January 2018 at age 35 after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography. He had been set for sentencing that March.

The actor, who played Noah “Puck” Puckerman on the musical dramedy, reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in October 2017 in which he admitted to possessing images of prepubescent children. The agreement stated that a search warrant found more than 50,000 images of child porn on Salling’s computer and a thumb drive.

Prosecutors and Salling requested a judge sentence the actor to between four and seven years in prison. He would’ve also been required to register as a sex offender, pay restitution and abide by residency restrictions.

The “Glee” cast has been plagued by tragedy. Cory Monteith, who played Finn Hudson on the Fox series, died of a heroin overdose in 2013. Naya Rivera, who played Santana Lopez, drowned earlier this year in Lake Piru in Southern California while boating with her son, Josey.
