		</div><p>Terry Crews has apologised to Gabrielle Union after he defended America’s Got Talent shortly after she left the show.</p>
<p>Union was a judge on Simon Cowell’s TV talent show but departed amid reports she had raised concerns over sexism and racism on the programme.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Her leaving sparked an investigation from the actors’ union SAG-AFTRA while Time’s Up, the anti-sexual harassment group, said network NBC had a history of punishing women who speak out.</p>

<p>Following the controversy Crews, the America’s Got Talent host, was criticised after raising doubts about Union’s claims.</p>
<p>He has now apologised via Twitter.</p>
<p>The actor said he realises “there are a lot of Black women hurt and let down by what I said and also by what I didn’t say”.</p>
<p>Crews, known for his role on comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, then addressed Union directly and wrote: “I want you to know it was never my intention to invalidate your experience — but that is what I did. I apologise.</p>
<p>“You have been through a lot in this business, and with that I empathise with the struggle toward fairness and equality in the workplace.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I allowed disrespectful comments directed at me and my family to cause me to react angrily instead of responding thoughtfully. This certainly caused more harm, and it is my hope that I can amend any pain I have caused to those who were hurt by my words.</p>

<p>Crews added: “You are a role model to the entire black community and In my desire to be professionally neutral as your co-worker, I should have at the very least understood you just needed my support.”</p>
<p>Union, an actress known for films including She’s All That, 10 Things I Hate About You and Bring It On, is yet to respond publicly.</p>
<p>Union and her fellow female judge Julianne Hough were both let go from America’s Got Talent after one season on the show.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>Both women were subject to “excessive notes” on their physical appearance during their time on the programme, according to US outlet Variety.</p>
<p>Union also raised concerns about a racially sensitive act on the show, Variety said.</p>
<p>After a meeting with Union in December, NBC said: “The initial conversation was candid and productive. While there will be a further investigation to get a deeper understanding of the facts, we are working with Gabrielle to come to a positive resolution.”</p>
