UPDATE ON 'AMERICAS GOT TALENT'

AND GABRIELLE UNION'S DEPARTURE.

NBC, Fremantle and Syco on Wednesday morning issued a statement about the results from an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the firing of former America’s Got Talent judge Gabrielle Union. The investigation was originally expected to wrap by end of January.

“Through the investigation process, it has been revealed that no one associated with the show made any insensitive or derogatory remarks about Ms. Union’s appearance, and that neither race nor gender was a contributing factor in the advancement or elimination of contestants at any time,” the statement said. “The investigation has shown that the concerns raised by Ms. Union had no bearing on the decision not to exercise the option on her contract.”
