Gabrielle Union is speaking out to seemingly share thoughts on former America’s Got Talent co-star Terry Crews‘ comments about his experience on the show.
You’re probably aware by now that Gabrielle accused the show of having a toxic culture behind the scenes and there have been allegations of racism and sexism on set.
“First of all, I can’t speak for sexism because I’m not a woman, but I can speak on behalf of any racism comments,” Terry said on the Today Show this week. “That was never my experience … in fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment.”
“I have to say this, too. When you look at what the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source. My thing is — it’s funny because I believe you should listen to women, you should always believe women, so I asked my wife what I should do,” he added. “She was like, first of all, if it’s coming from an unnamed source, because Gabrielle Union has not made any statement to this day about any of these allegations publicly … if she hasn’t made a statement, why would you?”
Gabrielle took to Twitter on Friday morning (January 24) to reply to some fans who sent her support after the comments were made. She never actually named Terry in her tweets, but it’s pretty clear that she’s talking about him.

Thank u! Cuz girlllllll 😐 Truth telling, wanting change & having MULTIPLE witnesses who bravely came forward to let EVERYONE know I didn't lie or exaggerate, really exposes those who enthusiastically will throw you under the bus, forgetting quickly who stepped up 4 THEIR truth. https://t.co/X1uooWTpmK

Let's also talk about where the diversity is in the hair & makeup dept for contestants that DOES NOT reflect all that diversity that hits the stage. Let's Google the exec's that run the show & ask follow up ?? about THAT egregious lack of diversity. Let's discuss the facts https://t.co/w40qrBDac1
