.itsgabrielleu still believes AGT was ‘toxic’ after the show’s racism investigation concludes.
Following NBC’s investigation surrounding Gabrielle Union’s America’s Got Talent “toxic” racism callout in 2019, the former talent competition judge still has plenty of shocking things to say about her experience. While the findings of AGT’s internal investigation concluded that there were no “insensitive or derogatory remarks” made on the basis of “race nor gender,” you might find that Gabrielle’s latest interview with Variety reveals otherwise.
“I didn’t feel like myself,” she told Variety in an interview published May 27. “I’m shape-shifting to make myself more palatable. I’m contorting myself into something I don’t recognize. I had to look at myself and say, ‘Do you want to keep it easy? Or do you want to be you, and stand up?’ Because I’m not the only one being poisoned at work.”
