Lea Michele paid tribute to “Glee” co-stars Naya Rivera and Cory Monteith — after Rivera’s body was recovered from a California lake Monday — which was the seventh anniversary of Monteith’s overdose death.

On her Instagram story, the mom-to-be posted three photos — one of Rivera, another of Monteith holding a bouquet of flowers in Central Park, and a third of the entire “Glee” cast at the beach.

Rivera’s body was pulled from Lake Piru Monday, six days after she went missing during a boating trip with her 4-year-old son Josey. Authorities believe the two were swimming when she pushed the boy onto the boat but ran out of energy to save herself.

The Bronx-born actress’ captionless tribute to her late castmates came after she deactivated her Twitter account Saturday amid a barrage of tweets — and even death threats — from Rivera fans, who suggested that authorities would have conducted the search differently if Michele, who is white, went missing.

Rivera played Santana Lopez on “Glee” — a bitter rival-turned-pal of Rachel Berry, portrayed by Michele.

The onscreen drama apparently spilled off set, with Rivera writing in her 2016 memoir “Sorry Not Sorry” that she and Michele were like “two sides of the same battery” and “not a good mixture.”

“She had a hard time separating work from our outside friendship, whereas it was a lot easier for me,” Rivera wrote. “Lea was a lot more sensitive, though, and it seemed like she blamed me for anything and everything that went wrong.”
