Following reports earlier this month of a long-simmering feud on set between Glee stars Lea Michele and Naya Rivera culminating in one or both of them storming off set, Rivera has apparently, wait for it, sung her swan song. That is, she's believed to have been fired.

Though her character Santana joined Michele's leading lady Rachel Berry in New York along with other Glee mainstays following their graduation from McKinley High, Rivera's role as a regular in season five had been somewhat reduced. In an interview on this season's direction, Michele neglected to mention Santana, period — which may or may not have been a "Freudian slip," apparently; Rivera's recent tweets have also led to many Gleeks speculating she'd be exiting the show. Sources now confirm that's the case, but not necessarily on her terms. She's said to have been canned following all the dramz with Lea and edited out of a still-to-air season finale.

Update: E! News also reports that Rivera's scenes were cut from Glee's season finale, but says her status on the show is "not yet decided." Their source says this doesn't have anything at all to do with Lea Michele, no siree, and that production apparently "love[s] Naya and want[s] the best for her." Except "the best" doesn't include much screentime, apparently. Meanwhile, Rivera's representatives told The Hollywood Reporter that "any reports or rumors circulating that Naya was let go or fired from Glee are absolutely untrue. End of story."

Still though, the question posed by a promo poster from earlier this season is now answered, DEFINITIVELY:

That's a no.
