"Hailee Steinfeld has reassured fans that there are no bad feelings between her and Glee star Lea Michele. It was previously reported that Michele had snubbed Steinfeld by refusing to give her an autograph, but Steinfeld has now clarified the incident by playing down the issue as simply &amp;quot;bad timing&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;When I auditioned for True Grit I was on the Paramount lot and that&amp;#039;s where they film Glee,&amp;quot; Steinfeld explained to MTV News. &amp;quot;I saw her after my audition and I was wearing like 1800 period clothing, it was so embarrassing.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I saw her and I went up to ask her for an autograph and it was just really bad timing, and I was so embarrassed because of what I was wearing,&amp;quot; Steinfeld continued. &amp;quot;The only thoughts that were going through my head were, &amp;#039;Oh my God, Lea Michele thinks I&amp;#039;m a total freak&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Everything is totally fine,&amp;quot; she added. Since the story was reported by news outlets, representatives for Michele have insisted that it was actually a PA who turned Steinfeld away, and Michele herself released a statement apologising to the young actress. Steinfeld received the award for &amp;#039;Best Young Actress&amp;#039; at the Critics&amp;#039; Choice Movie Awards yesterday for her performance in True Grit.
