Repercussions from the departure of Gabrielle Union from America’s Got Talent continued over the holiday weekend. Union, who was cut from the NBC show after one season, had expressed concerns over racially insensitive segments and been critiqued for her appearance, according to Variety. Among those tweeting in her defense was Will & Grace star Debra Messing, who posted, “Yes, women become ‘difficult,’ when their insistence on a respectful and professional working environment, is ignored.” In a statement, NBC and producer Fremantle said, “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.” Julianne Hough, who was let go from AGT along with Union, saw her experience differently. “I had a wonderful time on America’s Got Talent. I loved working with the cast, crew and producers,” said Hough; she and brother Derek are starring in NBC’s Holidays with the Houghs, airing December 16.

The Twitter account of another disgraced TV superstar, Bill Cosby,encouraged his followers to avoid major news outlets and subscribe to black-owned media options. “No longer should we succumb to the fear of many mainstream media outlets like Associated Press, CNN, NBC, New York Times, Washington Post & Radar Online just to name a few,” said Cosby’s Twitter account. Another post read, “It’s #BlackFriday, so lets spend our dollars with #BlackPressUSA & all Black media outlets that propel the truth and the facts, not Fake News.” The messages follow Cosby’s interview in BlackPressUSA.com, in which he called the case for which he is serving time in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004 a “set-up,” and expressed no remorse.
