Gabrielle Union is speaking at length about her experiences on the set of “America’s Got Talent”. Union famously parted ways with the show over allegations of racism in production.
The story blew up, leading to an investigation from parent network NBC and involving fellow “AGT” personalities like Terry Crews.
Union told Variety about guest judge Jay Leno’s alleged racist joke while filming a promo for the show. “The first person who allowed me to come on their talk show was Jay Leno,” Union prefaced. “I’ve always held him in high regard, but I was not prepared for his joke.
I gasped. I froze. Other things had already happened, but at this point, it was so wildly racist.” RELATED: Terry Crews Apologizes To Gabrielle Union “’We’ll delete it.
