Heather Morris Alleges Dancers Were Cut From J. Lo's Tour for Being Virgos

Glee actress Heather Morris has claimed Jennifer Lopez would not hire dancers if their star sign was Virgo.

Morris, who toured as a dancer with Beyonce, a very famous Virgo, suggested J.Lo once culled auditioning dancers based on their astrological sign.

"Jennifer Lopez held an audition for dancers for one of her tours," Morris told the Just Sayin' With Justin Martindale podcast.

"She walks in the room and she said, 'Thank you so much, you guys have worked so hard. By a show of hands if there are any Virgos in the room, can you just raise your hand?'"

Morris, an Aquarius, added: "She looked at them and she said, 'Thank you so much for coming.' And they had to leave after a full day of auditioning for Jennifer Lopez.

"Most of the time at a dance audition, you're not getting paid, you've been there since 10 a.m. and you're auditioning until 6 p.m."

Morris was not in the audition herself but had heard the "funny story" from plenty of other people over the years.

"This is hearsay but true," she said. "When one person says something, could be true [but] when multiple people say something ... it's like, 'Oh, that happened.'"

However, she admitted she may have "botched" the story and it could have been a different star sign that was culled from the audition.

Lopez, who was born on July 24 and is a Leo, may have been on to something as her star sign and Virgos could experience a stormy professional relationship.

"Virgo's perfectionism gets on Leo's nerves, while Leo's 'just go for it' attitude scares Virgo," according to Astrology.com.

"Both have ambition, but this shared quality may not be enough for them to do their best work, or find career compatibility."

Most critically, "other signs combine more effectively with each, and produce better results," according to the astrology website.

Lopez married former flame Ben Affleck over the weekend and he is a fellow Leo, but her ex-husband Marc Anthony, who is also father of her twins, is a Virgo.

Her second husband, Cris Judd is also a Leo, while her first husband, Ojani Noa is a Cancer.

Morris got her break on So You Think You Can Dance in 2006, before joining Beyoncé on her The Beyoncé Experience world tour the following year.

She hit the big time when she was cast as ditzy cheerleader Britney S. Pearce on the Fox musical series, Glee.

A fan favorite, Morris remained on the popular show for five seasons, reprising the role a handful of times until the show came to an end in 2015.

Newsweek has reached to Jennifer Lopez for comment.
