Union files complaint against NBC, 'America's Got Talent'
LOS ANGELES LOS ANGELES (AP) Gabrielle Union filed a complaint Thursday with the state of California against NBC and the producers of Americas Got Talent," the latest move in a fight over her allegations that she was fired for objecting to an on-set environment that tolerated racism. The complaint filed with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing says Union was harassed and discriminated against because of her race, and experienced retaliation for reporting these problems. The review acknowledged unspecified areas in which reporting processes could be improved.A request for comment from the network on the state complaint was not immediately answered. When Gabrielle Union informed NBC of racially offensive conduct during the taping of Americas Got Talent, NBC did not stand with her in outrage at acts of racism, Freedman said in a statement. Instead, NBC did not care enough to either promptly investigate Ms. Unions complaints or even ask HR to get involved.
