Gabrielle Union Talks About Her 'Hardest' Time in Industry at American Black Film Festival

, Union says she was terminated from"AGT" because she took issues with"racist jokes, racist performances, sexual orientation discrimination, and excessive focus on female judges' appearances, including race-related comments."

In response to the legal complaint, NBC said,"The allegation that anyone involved in this process threatened Ms. Union is categorically untrue," the media conglomerate told TMZ in a statement."We took Ms. Union's concerns seriously, and engaged an outside investigator who found an overarching culture of diversity on the show. NBCUniversal remains committed to creating an inclusive and supportive working environment where people of all backgrounds are treated with respect.

Union's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, then fired back, saying,"It's very telling that NBC fails to substantively address the DFEH complaint that Ms. Union filed based on racial discrimination. Instead, NBC wants to try and play word games by saying that their Chairman, Paul Telegdy, did not directly threaten Gabrielle Union.

TooFab I've never heard of a firing that wasn't 'brutal.' People lose jobs all the time- this had nothing to do with her ethnicity, sex, or race, it had to do with her lackluster job performance. Get over it already! itsgabrielleu

TooFab So was your judging.

TooFab G U is an annoying whiny woman who did not receive the attention she thought she deserved and tried to drag everyone down with her whe they didn’t want her back. She was the toxic part of the environment.

TooFab Yeah yeah boo hoo. Who cares?

TooFab Ultimate race card - gets fired for being uninteresting and she blames her race
