A statement released on itsgabrielleu's behalf was a statement in itself
Using language from NBC’s recent statement about Black Lives Matter, a statement released Thursday on Union’s behalf claims thatretaliated against her when she expressed concerns about “acts of racism” she experienced on the competition program.
“When Gabrielle Union informed NBC of racially offensive conduct during the taping of America’s Got Talent, NBC did not ‘stand’ with her in ‘outrage at acts of racism,’” read the statement from Union’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, referencing NBC’s social-media pledge to “stand with our black employees.”
“Instead, NBC did not care enough to either promptly investigate Ms. Union’s complaints or even ask HR to get involved. Rather, NBC stood against her and directed its ‘outrage’ at Ms. Union for whistleblowing about the racially offensive conduct she experienced.”
