Actress Lea Michele has publicly apologized to "True Grit" star Hailee Steinfeld  for snubbing her autograph request, insisting she "never meant to hurt  her feelings". The 14-year-old actress was auditioning for her role in  the Cohen Brothers' new movie at a studio in California when she  encountered her TV idol - but the youngster was shooed away by a  security guard when she requested a signature from the "Glee" beauty. 
Steinfeld recently revealed, "I was practically crying on the way home. I was so sad!" Michele admits she was mortified when she read Steinfeld's comments - and has reached out to the teenager to apologize.
She tells GossipCop.com, "I heard Hailee was upset and I feel terrible.  The Glee schedule is so jam-packed that the PA probably pulled me so  that I wouldn't be late to set. I never meant to hurt her feelings.  She's an extraordinary talent and I look forward to meeting her one  day."
