In reference to NBC Entertainment's recent tweet standing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement, Freedman concluded, "There is no place for this type of racial bullying in the workplace, and it is going to take more than a Tweet from NBC to demonstrate that NBC intends to create an environment free from racism."

As for the content of the actual harassment complaint, Union's legal team detailed numerous instances that she found to be insensitive or offensive, including the hiring of former judge Julianne Hough, according to legal documents exclusively obtained by Page Six. The filing notes that Hough previously wore blackface, which she apologized for. Nonetheless, the legal team claims that bringing Hough on as a judge is "a reflection of NBC's true feelings about the African American community and blackface."

The filing also highlighted NBC's history of stars in blackface, including Jimmy Fallon, Fred Armisen and Ted Danson, and noted that the network has been "completely silent and unapologetic" since these controversies were ignited.
