According to Love B. Scott, there was a specific reason that Gabrielle Union was being let go from America’s Got Talent.
It is because she was speaking about problematic racial issues on the set.
Here is what Scott is reporting.
“Social media engagement is the new measuring stick for talent and Simon isn’t on social media. Juliane and Gabrielle were both way higher ranked/engaged than Howie. The idea the network wants to ‘switch things up’ only applies to women and Black folks.
Nick Cannon wasn’t crazy. He walked away from 8-figures over how [AGT] operates.”
“Let’s just say they didn’t start the racism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia etc. in season 14. They were quite comfortable with it all by the time Gabrielle got there. Remember Nick said ‘NBC stands for N*gga Be Careful.’”
Tyra Banks also isn’t coming back, Terry Crews will be full-time host.
