Gabrielle Union is not holding back when it comes to former ‘America’s Got Talent’ co-star Terry Crews.
The actress’ complaints about her treatment on the show led to an internal investigation centered around race and gender bias.
Now, she’s sounding off about Crews – who she says never supported her – and is showing his true colors in light of his recent controversial comments about Black Lives Matter.
Full story below…
Speaking Jemele Hill‘s podcast, Union said of the show’s host:
“People hit me all day long and are like, what’s happening? And the only thing I know for sure is that Terry Crews gets three checks from NBC. So, I don’t know if being worried about job stability — which listen, we all know that if you speak up about racism and white supremacy, you absolutely can be shown the door. I don’t know if that’s the motivation.”
She continued:
“Based on his recent actions, do you really think Terry Crews was an ally, was helpful, was a sounding board? I think Terry Crews is showing us who he is and what he does during times of adversity and it’s not solidarity.”
Concluding on the topic, she said:
“At the end of the day, the work that I am doing to make sure that NBC is a more fair and equitable place of employment will benefit you (Crews) as well. So it’s OK to eat your cereal and let me do my thing and get out of the way. If you’re not going to help, then get out of the way. If you don’t feel financially comfortable, or spiritually comfortable or you flat out disagree, but at the end of the day he will benefit from a safer, more equitable workplace from what I stuck my neck out to do and got fired for, you know? Instead of actively working against progress.”
Crews took to Twitter and responded with:
This will be my 3rd public apology to Gabrielle Union. If a 4th is needed, I will continue to apologize and push for reconciliation between the world, and more importantly, the culture I grew up in. I’m sorry, @itsgabrielleu #reconciliation
Hmmm.
F-ck Terry C_oon!
I find it odd that she will speak out against Crews and count his coins but when lil boosie has so much hate towards her child And spews idiotic rhetoric they dont say a word.
Wtf is a lil boosie
Why would she need to lower her self to speak to gutter trash who uses Ebonics?
If you are counting your apologies. You aren’t truly apologetic
She is an idiot. It’s people like her who are everything wrong with the world right now!
Much love to Terry!
If you’re gonna use another username. Change the style of writing pea brain clarksinner
Terry probably voted for Trump
And what’s wrong with Trump? He does more for the black community than any other president in recent times yet he still gets slandered and call a racist. What more do people want? I don’t get it.
Don’t bother explaining. It’ll fall on deaf ears on this site
Please be careful when repeating Trump has done more for black people than any other president or recent times. The statistical facts do not bare that out to be true. Especially about unemployment. In fact, in all my research none of the examples he’s given are factual. I don’t want to argue with you on this, just please do the research before repeating Trump’s taking points. And consider that after he claimed he’s done so much, he immediately tweeted out videos about white supremacy.
I love an independent man like Terry. Gabrielle is an overgrown cry baby who needs a few slaps.
