Gabrielle Union Alleges That NBC Threatened Her Agent

In the midst of a lawsuit with NBC, Gabrielle Union has claimed that her agent was threatened by the network.

The former America’s Got Talent host alleged in a new interview that “inflammatory” things about her were turned over to NBC chairman Paul Telegdy, and he apparently used the information against her.

“He then threatens my agent: ‘Gabrielle better watch who she calls a racist’ in the middle of an investigation about racism and discrimination,” she said on The Daily Show. “This is what’s happening from the top of the company.”

In case you need a reminder, Gabrielle was fired from the show after only one year. She has since accused the network of being “a snake pit of racial offenses.”

“When your boss [Simon Cowell], the person who has the ability to determine who gets opportunities, believes law doesn’t apply to him,” she said, adding that he would smoke on set despite people vocalizing how uncomfortable they were.

“And he does it [smoking] in full view of NBC and Fremantle and Syco. And no one cares he’s exposing employees to secondhand smoke — that’s day one, that’s within the first hour — what message do you think that sends to anyone that has an issue with the very real racism and lack of accountability?”

Wow. This is only going to get more juicier. Watch below:
