The tweet comes after various reports this week claimed that the “Being Mary Jane” star was fired from “America’s Got Talent” for calling out Jay Leno over an offensive joke he made while recording the show.

According to Variety, the star had a conversation with an NBC executive to talk with the human resources department after the special guest made a joke on Simon Cowell’s dogs. The joke was eventually cut from the show. And that is not it, the publication also reported that Union was told on numerous occasions that the hairstyles she kept on rotating frequently looked too black.

Fellow judge Julianne Hough was reportedly fired from the show. But according to the Hollywood Reporter, the dancer-turned-actress denied that she had a negative experience working on the show.

Meanwhile, Union’s husband and retired basketball player Dwyane Wade came out in support of her wife and revealed that the makers tried to blame the declining viewership on her.

“Men lie, Women lie, numbers don’t” Over this past year I’ve been approached by many people saying that my wife @itsgabrielleu is the main reason they’ve started watching #AGT or that they love her insight and sincerity on the show.

The athlete tweeted that people might lie, but numbers don’t. He further added that he has been approached by many people saying that her wife is the only reason why they see the show and love her insight on the show.

But all this fiasco is not holding her back from celebrating Thanksgiving with her family. She posted a snap on Instagram and noted that she is really “grateful” for whatever she has got in her life. In the photo, she can be seen standing alongside her husband Wade, their 12-year-old son Zion Malachi Airmis and their daughter Kaavia James.
