In one incident, Union reportedly urged producers to report Jay Leno's racist joke about Koreans to NBC HR.
appears to corroborate this, as it seems as if Union — who was only on the show for one season — was ousted after speaking out against several disturbing on-set incidents.Related |Back in April, the judges were in the middle of taping an interstitial segment together when Leno joked about a painting of Cowell and his dogs, which was on display in the hallway. Leno's commentary? That the dogs looked like something you'd find"on the menu at a Korean restaurant.
And though the bit was cut from the actual broadcast, despite Union urging producers to report Leno's offensive joke to NBC HR, nothing really happened, according to multiple insiders. Not only that, but Union was also amongst several staff members who expressed concerns over a white male contestant whose"talent" consisted of impersonating famous singers via quick costume changes.and, even worse, his hands apparently"appeared as black, meant to be a character accent," according to three audition witnesses. Unfortunately, producers apparently dismissed Union's misgivings, which she reportedly brought up multiple times.
But to make things even worse was the revelation that Union and fellow female judge, Julianne Hough, were reportedly given extensive notes on their physical appearances. Additionally, Union was apparently subjected to continued criticism surrounding her hairstyles, which were"too Black" for's audience, per four different sources. And while one network source said there was feedback about"hair continuity" for both women, the fact that this critique even surfaced is highly troubling.
