Gabrielle Union is tweeting about her "truth" a day after Terry Crews spoke out about the former judge's controversial exit from "America's Got Talent."

Union and fellow judge Julianne Hough exited the NBC competition show after one season and, in November, Variety reported on a "toxic culture" at the show that included racist jokes and excessive focus on female judges' appearances, including race-related comments.

But, Crews said he hasn't had the same experience hosting the show.

“First of all, I can't speak for sexism because I’m not a woman, but I can speak on behalf of any racism comments. That was never my experience," he said during an interview on "The 3rd Hour of Today" Thursday. "In fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment."

He continued, “When you look at what the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source. My thing is – it's funny because I believe you should listen to women, you should always believe women so I asked my wife what I should do. She was like, 'first of all, if it's coming from an unnamed source – because Gabrielle Union has not made any statement to this day about any of these allegations publicly – …if she hasn't made a statement, why would you?' ”

On Friday, Union thanked a fan who tweeted her with "nothing but love and support."

"Thank u! Cuz girlllllll," Union tweeted. "Truth telling, wanting change & having MULTIPLE witnesses who bravely came forward to let EVERYONE know I didn't lie or exaggerate, really exposes those who enthusiastically will throw you under the bus, forgetting quickly who stepped up 4 THEIR truth."

Union didn't specifically mention Crews, but earlier in the day, she liked a tweet that shared commentary about Crews defending the show. The comment came from user @HollyGoNightly1:

" 'The people who surprised me the most were black women. Black men did not want any part of it. All my support came from black women. Straight up.' - Terry Crews... Black women will have your back who will have ours?"

In December 2019, two weeks after her exit from the reality competition show, Union said she had a "productive meeting" with NBC.

Though Union didn't explicitly say who she met with in the tweet, NBC confirmed with USA TODAY that a meeting between Union and the network did take place.

Union, 47, opened up about the "lengthy 5-hour" chat she had.

"I was able to, again, express my unfiltered truth," Union tweeted. "I led with transparency and my desire and hope for real change."

In January 2020, NBC Entertainment chief Paul Telegdy said he took Union's claims seriously, but that he couldn't discuss them in the midst of an internal investigation that he expects to be completed by late January.

"I promise you this is being taken very seriously," Telegdy said during NBC's presentation at the Television Critics Association. "I can't say anything else while they're doing a serious investigation."

Depending on the results of the report, he promised: "We will put in new practices, if necessary."

This isn't the first "AGT" star to comment on the controversy.

At the Television Critics Association earlier this month, Judge Heidi Klum addressed her six seasons on the popular talent competition.

"I've only had an amazing experience. I can't speak for (Union). I didn't experience the same thing," she said. "To me, everyone treats you with the utmost respect. I’ve never seen anything that was weird or hurtful."

In December 2019, former judge Howard Stern pointed fingers at Simon Cowell as the reason to blame for Union not returning to the show.

"How is it that Simon Cowell has orchestrated this? He has set it up that the men stay, no matter how ugly they are, no matter how old they are, no matter how fat they are, no matter how talentless they are," Stern said on his SiriusXM show.
