The advocacy group Time’s Up has accused NBCUniversal of protecting powerful men and punishing women who speak out, following the departure of Gabrielle Union as a judge on the variety show America’s Got Talent.
Union, an actor, was reportedly fired from the show last month after experiencing what was described as racially insensitive situations and, along with fellow judge Julianne Hough, being subjected to “excessive notes” on their physical appearance.
