Gabrielle Union<\/a><\/strong> is feeling the love. <\/p>\n

After making headlines the last few days, it looks like the Bring It On<\/em> alum is ready to share her thoughts. Earlier this week, it was announced that she and Julianne Hough<\/a><\/strong> would exit the competition series<\/a> after one season.<\/p>\n

As if that weren’t shocking enough, Variety<\/em> reported that Union decided to leave the NBC show after expressing concern over an “offensive” incident<\/a> that occurred, which involved Jay Leno<\/a><\/strong>. According to the publication, the 47-year-old star also experienced harsh criticism over her fashion and beauty looks, and was allegedly told her hairstyles were “too black” for viewers.<\/p>\n

In light of the 47-year-old star’s recent departure from America’s Got Talent<\/em>, she finally broke her silence on social media. Taking to Twitter on Wednesday night, the Breaking In<\/em> actress expressed how much it meant to her to receive so much love and support.<\/p>\n

“So many tears, so much gratitude,” she began her caption<\/a>. “THANK YOU! Just when you feel lost, adrift, alone… you got me up off the ground. Humbled and thankful, forever.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Hours before, she took to Twitter for the first time this week to praise Lena Waithe<\/strong>‘s film, Queen and Slim<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Today’s #WCWS are the wonderfully talented, stunning and gracious stars and creatives behind #QueenAndSlim,” she shared tagging each individual on the platform,”she wrote. “@LenaWaithe @MissJodie @melinamatsoukas @IndyaMoore. Please make sure to see this beautiful, soon to be classic film this holiday!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Moreover, Union’s husband, Dwayne Wade<\/strong>, didn’t keep quiet about the chatter surround his wife. On Wednesday, the 37-year-old star took to Twitter to defend his leading lady.<\/p>\n

“‘Men lie, Women lie, numbers don’t” over this past year I’ve been approaching by many people saying that my wife @itsgabrielleu is the main reason they’ve started watching #AGT or that they love her insight and sincerity on the show,” he wrote<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“So when I got the news that my wife was being fired\u2014my first question was obviously why!? I am still waiting on a good answer to that question,” he continued<\/a>. “But if anyone knows @itsgabrielleu or have heard of her you know she’s an advocate for our community and culture.”<\/p>\n

“As proud as i were of her being selected as a judge on #AGT\u2014 Iam even more proud of her standing up for what she stands for and that’s US,” Dwayne expressed<\/a> in a following tweet.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

So many tears, so much gratitude. THANK YOU! Just when you feel lost, adrift, alone… you got me up off the ground. Humbled and thankful, forever \u2764<\/p>\n

\u2014 Gabrielle Union (@itsgabrielleu) November 28, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Closing his thread, he shared<\/a>, “So to you @itsgabrielleu on not losing sight of the lessons we’ve talked about teaching our daughter and for kicking ass while you were on that platform. Number 1 judge on one of the biggest shows in the world\u203c\ufe0f”<\/p>\n

It’s clear Gabrielle will be missed on America’s Got Talent<\/em>, but we can’t wait to see what great things she has planned next.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
