Gabrielle Union Settles Dispute With America's Got Talent!

Gabrielle Union settles with NBC.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!

Gabrielle Union and NBC reached a settlement. It puts an end to the longstanding feud the entertainer had with the network and its program America's Got Talent. It also puts the show's executive producer and creator Simon Cowell on the bubble.

This was a messy issue. Union and Julianne Hough were fired out the cannon after a hosting a season of AGT. Union claimed that the show fired her out the cannon after she made complaints that the show tolerated racism and sexism on the set.

The network and Union said the matter is resolved. She was given a "significant" compensation from the network as a part of the settlement.

"We've reached an amicable resolution," Union and the network said in a statement.

"NBC Entertainment appreciates the important concerns raised by Gabrielle Union and remains committed to ensuring an inclusive and supportive working environment where people of all backgrounds are treated with respect."

Union and Julianne Hough were fired out the cannon at AGT.

Both sides declined further comment and would not give further details.

Union said she was fired out the cannon after she complained about producers making racist jokes and it being a toxic work environment.

Union who has asthma said that Cowell would regularly smoke on the set.

Union gave detailed accounts of the issues in a complaint to the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing that she filed in June.

Union alleged she was harassed and discriminated against because of her race and experienced retaliation for reporting these issues.

"Union, a Black woman, was singled out due to her physical appearance and discriminated against by NBC due to the fact that her hair did not fit within the white image that NBC apparently sought to convey to the audience," the complaint stated.

Simon Cowell, Sophia Vergara, Terry Crews, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel are back with AGT.

One complaint made was the joke Jay Leno made during a taping. He cracked a joke about Cowell's pet dogs. He said that they looked like food items found on a menu at a Korean restaurant, peddling a stereotype of Asian people eating dog meat.

The network has rehired Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Terry Crews. They added Sophia Vergara as a judge to the show. Cowell who had a serious back injury from a bicycle accident will be returning to the show in late October.

They will do taping for the show but limit the contestants and audience due to COVID-19.

Union is an actress, model, director and activist. She is married to Dwyane Wade, former NBA legend.
