" Lea Michele has spoken out over how difficult she found being &amp;#039;labelled&amp;#039; due to her Glee fame. The actress claimed that she received unjust criticisms from the press about being a &amp;#039;diva&amp;#039;, like her on-screen character Rachel Berry.  The 25-year-old told Nylon magazine: &amp;quot;I think I got hit with some pretty hard things at the beginning that were not good representations of my personality, and people put a label - I think they like to do that - and it really got to me.  &amp;quot;And I think I was fighting so hard to change that, that I was not really being myself. [But] I came to a place where I&amp;#039;m much happier personally in my life and because of that I really don&amp;#039;t feel like I need to explain anything or be anything. I&amp;#039;m really proud of who I am.&amp;quot; The new season of Glee, currently filming in New York, is due to feature Kate Hudson in a recurring role as Berry&amp;#039;s dance teacher.  Speaking of her new co-star, Michele said that she is &amp;quot;obsessed with her&amp;quot; and that she is &amp;quot;one of the greatest comedic actresses working right now&amp;quot;. Season four of Glee will be aired in the US and UK in the autumn.  Watch the Glee season four promo below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
