<\/p>\n\u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent\u201d network NBC and producers Fremantle and Syco have released a new statement regarding former \u201cAGT\u201d host Gabrielle Union\u2019s exit from the series.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe remain committed to ensuring a respectful workplace for all employees and take very seriously any questions about workplace culture,\u201d the group said Sunday in a joint statement. \u201cWe are working with Ms. Union through her representatives to hear more about her concerns, following which we will take whatever next steps may be appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement comes five days after Variety\u2018s report that Union was let go from \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent\u201d following complaints about a toxic workplace culture on the series.<\/p>\n
Among the incidents Variety reported on, citing multiple sources with close knowledge of the series, was an offensive on-camera joke told by guest star Jay Leno that Union asked to be escalated to NBC human resources. Widely seen by people present as insensitive to Asian communities, many of the sources Variety spoke with said the matter went unreported. Union was also given constant notes that her rotating hairstyles were \u201ctoo black\u201d for the competition series\u2019 audience, four people with knowledge of the critique told Variety.<\/p>\n
Time\u2019s Up and numerous Hollywood women have called for NBC to launch an investigation since the Nov. 26 report.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy\u201d star Ellen Pompeo asserted that \u201cworkplace cultures will continue to be toxic until there is unity and solidarity among all women. If you go for self in these moments you undermine the work we are out here trying to do. Obviously this network feels like they can operate like this and it\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n
