Crews petitioned Union again for acceptance of his apology and his admitted failure to stand by her when the controversy surrounding the “AGT” set was at its most intense.
This will be my 3rd public apology to Gabrielle Union. If a 4th is needed, I will continue to apologize and push for reconciliation between the world, and more importantly, the culture I grew up in.
I'm sorry, @itsgabrielleu #reconciliation https://t.co/o7RCTcX92b

Union basically stated that the person who metaphorically shakes the tree doesn’t always get the fruit, but that the person who was able to scamper away with the fruit should more supportive of the tree shaker.
“At the end of the day, the work that I am doing to make sure that NBC is a more fair and equitable place of employment will benefit you [Crews] as well,” Union continued on the podcast.
“So it’s OK to eat your cereal and let me do my thing and get out of the way. If you’re not going to help, then get out of the way. If you don’t feel financially comfortable, or spiritually comfortable or you flat out disagree, but at the end of the day he will benefit from a safer, more equitable workplace from what I stuck my neck out to do and got fired for, you know?”
