The statement comes days after Union had allegedly opened up on some “problematic” situations on the sets of the show before her departure. Variety further alleged, quoting multiple sources, while she was working on the show, the 47-year old had flagged concerns over racially insensitive situations during her time as a judge. The sources also told the outlet she, along with co-judge Julianne Hough, were subjected to “excessive notes” on the way they looked. However, a spokesperson of NBC, replying to the claims, shared a statement with People magazine on Tuesday, which read, “America’s Got Talent has a long history of inclusivity and diversity in both our talent and the acts championed by the show. The judging and host line-up has been regularly refreshed over the years, and that is one of the reasons for _AGT’_s enduring popularity. NBC and the producers take any issues on set seriously.” However, in a statement issued to the outlet, Hough has denied going through any negative experience on the show. The report published in Variety also described the claims Union allegedly commented on, her hairstyles that they were way “too black” for the show. Fans and celebrities, such as  Grey’s Anatomy star  Ellen Pompeo as well as  Union’s husband  Dwyane Wade, have rallied behind the actress amid the controversy.
