FremantleMedia Being Investigated After Gabrielle Union's 'AGT' Firing & Orlando Jones 'American Gods' Firing

SAG-AFTRA is expanding its investigation into FremantleMedia following Orlando Jones‘ firing from Starz’ American Gods.

If you didn’t know, the union was already probing FremantleMedia following the firing of Gabrielle Union from America’s Got Talent.

Orlando suggested that the firing was racially charged, which came after Gabrielle spoke out about the alleged “toxic” workplace culture at AGT.

“After initial meetings with Gabrielle Union and her representatives about her experiences on America’s Got Talent, and after learning more about Orlando Jones’s experience on American Gods, SAG-AFTRA is expanding its investigation of Fremantle Media. Our enforcement actions are handled confidentially to protect the members involved, and we typically do not publicize these matters unless the affected members request that we do so. We have nothing further to report at this time,” they said in a statement on Friday (December 20).

SAG-AFTRA is the largest union for talent, representing over 160,000 actors, journalists, radio personalities, singers and media professionals.
