    In response to the criticisms against him, the ‘America’s Got Talent’ host suggests it’s not his job to ‘take care’ of other women, not even his mother and daughters.
    Jan 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Terry Crews finally addressed criticisms on why he didn’t defend former “America’s Got Talent” judge Gabrielle Union despite her support for him when he opened up on his sexual assault ordeal in the past. The “AGT” host said it’s true he would never speak up for her and explained why.
    “There is only one woman one earth I have to please. Her name is Rebecca,” he wrote on Twitter, referring to his wife. He even refused to defend his mother, daughters, or sisters. “I will let their husbands/ boyfriends/ partners take care of them,” he said. “Rebecca gives me WINGS.”
    He was flooded with comments on social media due to his remarks. Even T.I. couldn’t resist leaving a comment on an Instagram post by The Shade Room. While he didn’t say any word, he left an emoji with zipped-up lips.

    Many criticized Crews and one of them wrote, “Man… this is a terrible thing to think, let alone say. You may not believe you have to please them… but they deserve the same humane treatment you requested and required when it was your turn to be the person in need of support. Damn, man… it really isn’t that hard.”
    Another commented, “I don’t care whether they have a man or not, better believe I will protect my family tirelessly. Who says something like that??”

    Gabrielle Union Fires Back at Terry Crews After He Refutes Her Racism Claims Against 'AGT'

    NBC

    The ‘Being Mary Jane’ actress promises to soon share her side of the story since the ‘America’s Got Talent’ host has already spoken out before the investigation is completed.
    Jan 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Gabrielle Union reacted after Terry Crews threw her under the bus in his recent TV interview. He refuted the racism claims made by the “Being Mary Jane” actress following her departure from “America’s Got Talent”. He also wondered why she hadn’t released an official statement.
    In response, Union took to Twitter to explain to her followers that there was an investigation going on regarding the issues and she waited for it to be completed before speaking out. However, she promised to soon reveal her side of the story since the host of the NBC talent show had already shared his.
    The former “AGT” judge hinted that she’s going to take a page out of Crews’ book and go on television for an interview as well. “Maaaaaan… We all agreed to let the investigation be completed before speaking but if we doing this… ohhhhh baby let’s gooooooooooo!” she tweeted.
    She also wrote, “Truth telling, wanting change & having MULTIPLE witnesses who bravely came forward to let EVERYONE know I didn’t lie or exaggerate, really exposes those who enthusiastically will throw you under the bus, forgetting quickly who stepped up 4 THEIR truth.”
    She added, “Can someone please ask abt what happens to all that diversity folks are talking about BEHIND THE SCENES. Like, legit… where the hell is all that diversity in the production though homie? In the decision making ranks who control the fate of the diversity in front of the camera?”
    Crews previously addressed Union’s controversial exit on “3rd Hour of Today”. “First of all I can’t speak for sexism because I’m not a woman, but I can speak on behalf on any racism comments,” he said. “That was never my experience on ‘America’s Got Talent’, in fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment. The Top 10 acts were asian, women, older, younger, black, white, it was everything in the gamut.”
    He continued, “When you look at what the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source. My thing is – it’s funny because I believe you should listen to women, you should always believe women so I asked my wife what I should do. She was like, ‘first of all, if it’s coming from an unnamed source – because Gabrielle Union has not made any statement to this day about any of these allegations publicly – …if she hasn’t made a statement, why would you?’ ”
    While Terry Crews along with Julianne Hough and Heidi Klum spoke in favor of the Simon Cowell-produced show, former judges Howard Stern and Sharon Osbourne supported Gabrielle Union.
    Stern said it’s “obvious” that Cowell “sets it up that the men stay, no matter how ugly they are, no matter how old they are, no matter how fat they are, no matter how talentless they are” while constantly replacing “the hot chicks with hotter chicks and younger chicks.”
    Osbourne agreed the “AGT” was a boys’ club. “The boys take care of each other and the women are not paid as much as the men,” she said, adding that Howie Mandel was hired and offered a private plane while she would fly commercial to live auditions.

    Terry Crews Praises 'AGT' as the 'Most Diverse Place' Amid Gabrielle Union's Controversial Firing

    WENN/Nicky Nelson

    The host of the NBC talent competition show also shares on ‘3rd Hour of Today’ that he goes to his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, for advice regarding what he should do in the situation.
    Jan 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Terry Crews has weighed in on reports that former “America’s Got Talent” judge Gabrielle Union was effectively fired from the NBC competition show in November over sexism and racism issue. The show’s host addressed the issue while stopping by on “3rd Hour of Today” on Thursday, January 23.
    “First of all I can’t speak for sexism because I’m not a woman, but I can speak on behalf on any racism comments,” he said, noting that he never experienced any sort of racism while working on the show. “That was never my experience on ‘America’s Got Talent’, in fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment. The Top 10 acts were asian, women, older, younger, black, white, it was everything in the gamut.”
    Terry went on saying that the racism allegations were never publicly confirmed by Gabrielle and first emerged from an unnamed source. “Now I have to say this too. When you look at what the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source.”
    He also shared that he went to his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, for advice regarding what he should do in the situation. “It’s funny, because I believe you should listen to women, you should always believe women, so I asked my wife what I should do,” he explained. “She was like, first of all, if it’s coming from an unnamed source, because Gabrielle Union has not made any statement to this day about any of these allegations publicly.”
    Terry wasn’t the only one who claimed that they never experience bad things on the show. Heidi Klum, who served as a judge on the show for six years, recently shared that “everyone treats you with the utmost respect. I’ve never seen anything that was weird or hurtful.”
    “Six years I was there. I loved it. Of course, there’s always this cat and dog fight, but this is fun. … I mean also it’s like, ‘Everyone relax a little bit.’ For me, being on television, I want to entertain people. I want people to have a good time,” the former “Project Runway” host explained. “I want people to, like, get away from their life for two hours and just have fun and enjoy.”
    Meanwhile, Julianne Hough, who was also ousted at the same time as Gabrielle, revealed on “Today Show” back in December that she applauded Gabrielle for standing up for herself. “When I see that comment there that excites me so much because that is what we need to start conversations and I just commend Gabrielle for speaking her truth and starting a conversation,” she said.
    “And I’m really proud of NBC as well for showing up and starting a narrative and that’s what’s going to change the workplace and the paradigm that we’ve been working in for many, many years. It’s shifting and that’s really exciting,” she added.
    Following her firing, which reportedly was resulted from her rising concern about the “toxic” work environment, Gabrielle wrote on Twitter, “So many tears, so much gratitude. Just when you feel lost, adrift, alone … you got me up off the ground. Humbled and thankful, forever.”
    The actress later talked about workplace inequalities during a female empowerment and inclusivity panel back in mid December. “Don’t be the happy negro that does the bidding of the status quo because you’re afraid. Don’t allow them to call you angry when someone else is called passionate. It’s terrifying. There’s a solid chance you’ll lose your job … I speak from experience,” she shared.
