Yidio Question of the Day: Are 'Glee' Star Lea Michele's recent racy photo spreads a disgrace?

Yidio Question of the Day: Are 'Glee' Star Lea Michele's recent racy photo spreads a disgrace? For the second time this season, "Glee" star Lea Michele is under fire for posing in oversexed photo shoots. This raises our Yidio Question of the Day.

Are 'Glee' Star Lea Michele's recent racy photo spreads a disgrace?

Yes:

As the star of a wildly popular TV show largely watched by a teenage audience, Lea Michele has a responsibility to be a role model to her fans. Just as Disney stars often have to watch their image and keep it squeaky-clean, Lea has to watch hers...and that includes choosing when to say "no" to a racy photoshoot. It might not seem fair, but it's part of being a star: you have your part to play on-screen, and your part to play off-screen. You have an obligation to your audience to show young girls that being beautiful doesn't have to mean showing skin. Plus, who says that a photo shoot has to be so oversexed? Stars need to recognize that posing in underwear isn't a requirement of a sexy, fun photo shoot.

No:

Lea Michele is an adult, and she has the right to make her own decisions. Many of the people up in arms about the "GQ" and "Cosmopolitan" shoots were calling it "child pornography" just because Lea plays a minor on TV. These people clearly have a problem separating TV from reality: Rachel Berry is a character played by Lea. When Lea is off the set, she has her own life and her own identity, and can do whatever she wants. Do we require the cast of "Grey's Anatomy" to have medical degrees or act like doctors in real life? No, because they're actors. So why should we require Lea Michele to act like she's a minor in real life? She's an adult, and can pose in whatever kind of clothing she wants.

Judgement: 

Lea is her own person. If she wants to do a racy shoot, that's her prerogative, and nobody but her PR manager can tell not to do it (and even then, it's still her say). The fact that she plays a minor on TV is irrelevant, and the people who can't get over it need to get back to reality and realize that she's just an actress. If parents think it will affect their kids, then its their job to sit down and talk with them about it.
