Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union are one of the most popular power couples in the country. The couple has gone through many ups and downs since they tied the knot in 2014. However, both Wade and Gabrielle never shy away from speaking their minds even if they know there could be repercussions for their comments. That was certainly the case when Union hit out at America’s Got Talent a few years back. The former talent show judge reportedly accused the show of “rampant workplace toxicity”.

The actress was reportedly removed from the position after she allegedly complained about racism and health violations in the show. Understandably, Gabrielle Union’s comments about the show stirred major controversy.

I have to make sure I’m present and locked in with the character, but also – s**t, gotta put that fire out.”
