Gabrielle Union Files Discrimination Complaint Against America's Got Talent

On Dec. 2, President and CEO of Time's Up Now Tina Tchen released a statement saying Union's experience "is exemplary of the double bind that black women face at work."

"Not only did Union reportedly endure and witness racist and inappropriate behavior — including racially-insensitive comments and excessive criticism about her physical appearance — but it also appears she was punished for speaking out," she added. "The company labeled her as 'difficult' before ousting her from the show altogether."

Time's Up launched a petition to "Stand with Gabrielle Union and Demand Accountability from NBC," which urges NBC to take concrete steps to foster a safe and equitable workplace.
