Twitter-based Glee wank! Some people are too dumb to be employed...
Almost entirely copied-and-pasted from (I assume) several mousies over on wank_report! Thank you, mousies. *leaves cheese* Apologies in advance for any cock-ups on my part - I'm posting this to distract myself from the extreme pain currently emanating from my uterus.

Nicole Crowther (she tweets under her real name, which will be important later) is an extra on the Glee set and has been feeding the fandom spoilers on Twitter for months now. Today she decided to tweet a major plot twist for the upcoming prom episode (seriously, don't follow that link if you care at all about spoilers).

Glee fandom, a powderkeg at the best of times, predictably explodes (apparently there was a much wankier post on kurt_blaine that got deleted, which I sadly missed because I was out having lunch :( ). People speculate that her Twitter may have been hacked, or that she might be drunk. At least... Up until the spoiler is confirmed by a different extra who has been feeding the fandom spoilers (but who DOESN'T post under her real name).

There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth and rending of garments (basically just another day in Glee fandom), right up until Brad Falchuk (one of the showrunners/writers) tweets at Nicole:

@nicolecrowther hope you're qualified to do something besides work in entertainment.
@nicolecrowther Who are you to spoil something talented people have spent months to create?

Well, shit.

On the other hand, the showrunners and actors have something of a history of lying to/trolling their fanbase, so some fans are still suspicious.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE:

Seems an extremely invested fan actually called the Paramount Studio to report Nicole's transgression and thus get her fired.

Mousey/ies over on Wank Report have more: apparently Nicole apologised to Brad before deleting her Twitter, but not before being sure to flail about whining at the internetz bullies and to present us with the following classic:

@NicoleCrowther: I don't want to be an extra anymore that's why I said what I said. Haters need to back off, you're not cool or funny. Get a life.

Because obviously, the best way to quit your job on one of the most successful programmes of the moment is to break your non-disclosure agreement... Although if Gawker is to be believed, she's got her wish.

And to think, there's still at least a month until this episode airs!

ETA: SPOILERS NOW IN COMMENTS. Don't blame me, blame the C&P-er...

ETA II: Again, from a mouse on wank_report ... shit's really going down!

Turns out, Nicole Crowther was fired from the Glee set last year for inappropriate behaviour, and it looks as though she's been pretending to be an extra on set for months in order to give out spoilers. The initial article suggests that there's now a possibility that all the regular extras on Glee could be fired and blackballed if her sources don't give themselves up, although that seems somewhat ... extreme?

ONTD_Glee reacts pretty much as you might expect, and some more info here and here.
