Amber chatted with Page Six and was asked about the deaths of Cory Monteith, Naya Rivera, and Mark Salling. The outlet noted that she doesn’t use the word “curse” to describe the tragedies, as many have done on social media over the years.

“Unfortunately things happen,” Amber said. “There was definitely some energy that happened on that show, but people had lives before Glee. Glee wasn’t our whole entire lives.”

She added, “Life is unpredictable and it’s short, which is why I make it a point to get the most enjoyment out of life and do what I want to do.”

Earlier this month, Amber tweeted about people calling her “Mercedes” in real life.

“I despise when ppl call me Mercedes. Put some respect on my name. Call me AMBER or RILEY. It’s wild that I even have to say that. No shade to the show/character that gave me a career, but please stop this shit. I don’t answer to it, and if you do it facetiously I’ll block you,” she said.

Last year, there was a rumor about the future of Glee.
