Cory Monteith's fatal 2013 drug overdose proved to be devastating to Lea Michele, who had been dating Monteith for several years. Overcome with grief and besieged by paparazzi, Michele reached out to Kate Hudson, whom she'd gotten to known when she played a recurring character on "Glee."
"I called [Kate Hudson] and said, 'I don't know where I'm going to go because my house is swarmed [with reporters].' She was like, 'Oh, you're going to stay at my house.' Like it was nothing," said Michele. "No one knew I was there," Michele revealed in an interview with Elle. "I'll never really be able to thank her, truly, for what she did for me."
Ultimately, Michele said she came to find solace by opening up about her grieving process, in hopes of helping those experiencing similar loss. "It's very hard," she told the magazine. "And you have to be very strong to come out of this alive, but I think by doing the best for myself, by showing that you don't have to lose yourself, maybe someone else will feel some sort of strength or comfort."
