Gabrielle Union<\/a> is reportedly set to meet with attorneys hired by NBC this week in the aftermath of her controversial departure from America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>\u2018s judging panel. Deadline<\/em><\/a> reports that the actress is scheduled to sit down with external counsel the network has retained to mediate the issue. However, a source from the Being Mary Jane<\/em> actress\u2019s camp has said the meeting with the legal team does not mean that she will return to the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the insider, Gabrielle\u2019s goal is to help address some of the \u201ctoxicity\u201d that she observed during her season-long stint on the popular TV talent show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe wants to help fix that, because she loved a lot of her time on the show last season, even with the issues with Simon and what have you,\u201d the insider said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut she could never go back, even if they did a 360 and asked her to for another season, no.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to Deadline,<\/em> Gabrielle has not directly spoken to NBC about her complaints thus far. She was reportedly previously told by co-judge and AGT<\/em> executive producer Simon Cowell that she should bring her concerns to him instead of anyone in authority at the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As The Inquisitr<\/em> reported, Gabrielle allegedly complained to producers<\/a> about a joke that guest-judge Jay Leno made about Korean contestants during one episode. She was also reportedly told that her hairstyles were \u201ctoo black\u201d for the show\u2019s audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no confirmation yet whether any representatives from NBC besides legal counsel will be present at the meeting with Gabrielle. The actress\u2019s powerhouse attorney Bryan Freedman<\/a> will likely be there with her. He successfully negotiated Megyn Kelly\u2019s contentious departure from NBC in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
