Because Cowell has built an entire television career on his image as an irascible provocateur, I ask Union if she thinks he is a genuine racist or just an equal-opportunity asshole.

You are not going to gaslight me into minimizing my trauma, which is exactly what allows this to continue on for the next person.
Union isn’t the only one emptying out that basket. In recent months, Thandie Newton, Michaela Coel, Viola Davis, Nia Long, and more have come forward with their own Hollywood horror stories. I ask Union about this unprecedented level of transparency and why Black actresses are finally—openly discussing everything from sexual harassment and virulent industry discrimination to gross pay inequity and the policing of their bodies.
