This image released by NBC shows celebrity judges, from left, Howie Mandel, Gabrielle Union, Julianne Hough, Simon Cowell on the set of "America's Got Talent," in Los Angeles. Union is thanking supporters for defending her amid reports she was fired from “America’s Got Talent” after complaining about racism and other on-set issues. Without directly addressing her status with NBC’s talent show, the actress tweeted that the backing helped overcome feeling of being lost and alone.
“We take issues of workplace health and safety very seriously.” The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television said in a statement. “We immediately reached out to Ms. Union’s representatives when these reports came to light ... While we have taken steps to investigate this matter, we have nothing to report now.”
In a previous statement, the three companies said “America’s Got Talent” has a strong record of inclusivity, and judge turnover is common. Before landing the job on the talent showcase, Union was best known as an actress from films including “Bring It On” and “Bad Boys II.”
The racism issue should be out treat everybody the same Americans the more we emphasize something the more it gets worse?
JussieSmollett is innocent

I'm with her! Simon shouldn't B smoking, and ppl shouldn't B allowed 2B racist on a show such as this! I ❤️ itsgabrielleu 4 her 😭 voice
Play that race card!
Hmm, I wonder then why Julianne Hough was also let go? I suppose because she doesn't have the 'race' issue to fall back on, we'll have to accept the Network's explanation that it was due to repeated audience criticism.
People can be so dumb. When you fire a ‘troublemaker’ what do you think she’s going to do when she leaves?
I have very little trust in NBC's 'investigations' after reading Catch and Kill. 🙄🙄🙄
Didn’t Julianne hough get fired too?
Good! Burying MeToo stories and now censoring critical opinions, supposedly....... NBC looking like they want to be the next Fox News...
Weird, I thought Guilds were only in MMORPG's and medieval times.
Horse sh*t.
The race card has successfully been played
She hates cigarettes

The Race Card. Overplayed

Lol, ever notice how they always complain about racism AFTER they get fired?
Unions make people lazy and take away your money
