Debra Messing (http://www.justjared.com/tags/debra-messing/) took to Twitter on Thanksgiving Day to call out NBC, the network that she has called her professional home for decades.
The 51-year-old actress has starred on Will & Grace on the peacock network ever since 1998. The show went off the air in 2006 and returned for a reboot in 2017.
Debra is calling out NBC (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7737665/Debra-Messing-calls-network-support-Gabrielle-Union-Americas-Got-Talent-firing.html) for its treatment of Gabrielle Union (http://www.justjared.com/tags/gabrielle-union/), who was let go from her position as a judge on America’s Got Talent after she reportedly complained about a “toxic culture” (http://www.justjared.com/2019/11/26/new-report-claims-agt-had-a-toxic-culture-that-gabrielle-union-complained-about/) behind the scenes.
“This is disgusting behavior from a network that has been my professional home for decades. Yes, women become ‘difficult,’ when their insistence on a respectful and professional working environment, is ignored. Addressing a hostile work environment is inconvenient when there is a huge money making machine that is involved. It is cowardice, greed, and protection of the status quo revealed. Being ‘hands off,’ is inexcusable and reflects a laissez faire attitude toward systemic racism and sexism,” Debra tweeted (https://twitter.com/DebraMessing).
