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 for its treatment of 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” 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.
