The saga between actress and host Gabrielle Union and the NBC’s show “America’s Got Talent,” is far from over.
Recently, we reported that NBC and AGT producers, Fremantle and Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment, found no evidence of racial bias despite Union’s claims that she had witnessed or experienced several instances of racism and sexism on the set of AGT.
The nature of Telegdy’s threat was not clear and NBC, Fremantle, and Simon Cowell have yet to issue a statement on the new complaint.
Freedman speaking about NBC’s recent expressed support for #BlackLivesMatter, said:
“When Gabrielle Union informed NBC of racially offensive conduct during the taping of ‘America’s Got Talent,’ NBC did not ‘stand’ with her in ‘outrage at acts of racism.
Rather, NBC stood against her and directed its “outrage” at Ms. Union for whistleblowing about the racially offensive conduct she experienced while working for NBC on ‘America’s Got Talent’…in sharp contrast to NBC’s recent statement on race, what was truly an “outrage” was the fact that Paul Telegdy, Chairman of NBC Entertainment, actually threatened Ms. Union in an attempt to silence her from telling the truth about racist actions that took place on the show.
