The 28-year-old actress had previously tweeted to say that Lea Michele had made her time on the show "a living hell" and has claimed that Lea had threatened to "s*** in my wig" during one outburst.
Samantha has decided to share her experience of working with Lea, after she had tweeted her support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
Speaking to Variety on Thursday, Samantha said: "I knew from day one when I attempted to introduce myself.
"There was nothing gradual about it. As soon as she decided that she didn’t like me, it was very evident."
Samantha continued: "It was after I did my first performance, that’s when it started – the silent treatment, the stare-downs, the looks, the comments under her breath, the weird passive-aggressiveness. It all built up.”
The Broadway star went on to reveal that Lea had threatened her job in front of their costars and crew members.
She said: "When you’re shooting a scene, sometimes the camera is on you and sometimes it’s not, but you still have to be in the scene.
"The camera wasn’t on us, so it’s not like we had to give a full throttle performance, but apparently, I was goofing around when the camera wasn’t on me, and she took that as me being disrespectful to her.
Samantha added that she didn't think Lea should be tweeting about Black Lives Matter.
She said: "When you tweet 'Black Lives Matter' that would mean you have an understanding of what that hashtag means, but it’s clear that it doesn’t.
"Does Lea even know what a microaggression is? I don’t know. All that her apology did was affirm that she hasn’t learned anything.
"Am I calling Lea a racist? No. Does Lea have racist tendencies? I think Lea suffers from a symptom of living in this world in an industry that is tailored to white people.”
Lea reportedly wrote a letter of apology to Samantha before publicly apologising for her behaviour
