Terry Crews has apologized to Gabrielle Unionfor his comments surrounding her departure from America’s Got Talent.
On Friday, Crews — who hosts the NBC talent competition show — tweeted an apology to Union for comments he made in regards to the former judge’s exit from AGT. In a series of tweets he acknowledged that he spoke from his own personal point of view “without first taking into consideration someone else’s experience” during an interview with Today earlier in the week in which he stated that he’d never experienced any racism on the NBC show.
“I told @KevinHart4real a while ago, he needed 2 ‘acknowledge the pain of other people,'” wrote Crews on social media. “Right now I have to do the same thing. I want to apologize for the comments I made. I realize there are a lot of Black women hurt and let down by what I said and also by what I didn’t say.” He goes to add that he hears, respects, and understands their perspective, and then directly apologizes to Union. “I want you to know it was never my intention to invalidate your experience— but that is what I did,” he wrote, tagging her in the comment on Twitter. “I apologize. You have been through a lot in this business, and with that I empathize with the struggle toward fairness and equality in the workplace.”
