NBC has reached a settlement with former “America’s Got Talent” judge Gabrielle Union, following her explosive accusations of rampant workplace toxicity on the talent competition …
where she discussed the tremendous burden of coming forward as marginalized talent in Hollywood.
“Do I cave? I didn’t feel like myself; 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,” she said.
Among the experiences Union witnessed on set was a racist joke from guest judge Jay Leno and a representation of black face from a contestant that went unchecked by producers. “If I can’t speak out with the privilege that I have, and the benefits that my husband and I have, what is the point of making it?” Union pondered of she and husband Dwyane Wade, who just graced the cover of Time magazine as two of its 100 Most Influential of the year.
“What is the point of having a seat at the table and protecting your privilege when you’re not doing s— to help other people? It’s absolutely terrifying to speak truth to power about anything. I’m trying not to be terrified, and some days are better than others,” she said.
