There is no truth to the rumor Naya has been fired from the show, the Fox network noted in a statement released to The Associated Press Saturday night, which concluded, She remains under contract to ‘Glee.’

Rivera plays Santana Lopez, a lesbian glee club member, on the popular musical drama.

Before Glee actress Lea Michele arrived Saturday morning at the premiere of her latest film, the animated Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return, a publicist for Michele said her client would not comment on co-star Rivera, the subject of numerous rumors and reports over the last week.

But Michele did reveal Glee had its fifth-season wrap party Friday night.

It’s been a difficult year for the series’ cast and crew, in the wake of the July 2013 overdose death of actor Cory Monteith, who had been romantically linked to Michele.

I have to say I owe so much to the cast of ‘Glee,’ Michele said. Loss is a horrendous thing, and if it wasn’t for their constant support, and, every day going to work and knowing that I had this safety net underneath me, has gotten me to where I am right now. So, I’m beyond grateful for ‘Glee.’

The show’s fifth-season finale is set to air stateside May 20. Show co-creator Ryan Murphy has said the series’ sixth season will be its last.
