If the firing from Glee is proved true, the news will be a lethal double hit for Rivera's public image as she contends with having been dropped from Columbia Records. Multiple sources have confirmed the news to Billboard, leading to speculation over whether the decision to drop was made as a result of the singer having not released an album since her signing in 2011.
