Women Call Investigation on Gabrielle Union's Exit From 'America's Got Talent'

Everything seemed extremely fishy about judges, Julianne Hough and Gabrielle Union's firing from America's Got Talent judges panel and the same got more obvious of sorts recently when Union opened up on the saga on Twitter along with her husband and guest judge of AGT, Dwayne Wade supporting her on the same.

And now, according to a report in Variety, womens advocacy group Time’s Up and numerous top stars are sending messages of support to Gabrielle Union,  following accounts of a toxic culture on the set of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” from which she was dismissed last week.

The outpour comes on the heels of an exclusive report from Variety that Union would not return to the show after her first year as a judge, and a subsequent report about a string of complaints she made regarding insensitivities to minorities throughout the past season.

Time’s Up, a legal defense fund and equity organization formed in wake of the #MeToo movement, publicly thanked Union for “speaking up for what’s right.”

Oscar-winner Patricia Arquette called the incidents uncovered in reports “terrible,:” saying the host  “should not be penalized for trying to have a workplace that honors the rule of law in the workplace.” Arquette also called on actors union SAG-AFTRA to intervene. Union has been a SAG-AFTRA member for decades. In addition to toxicity issues reported by Variety, a Vulture story detailed a months-long struggle Union had with Cowell over his indoor cigarette smoking, which is against California law. Union is reportedly allergic to cigarette smoke and escalated the problem to the production fire marshal.
