Essence says that Terry Crews decided to make a statement about the alleged racial and sexist allegations going on at America’s Got Talent. The allegations came up after judges Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough were fired from the show. Terry, who is the current host of AGT and was the host during Gabrielle’s season, decided to throw her right under the bus. After being called out by Gabrielle and others for that, Terry doubled down, basically saying that a husband and wife own each other and all other women in the world can eat shit.
It was claimed that Gabrielle was told that her hairstyles were “too black” for the AGT audience, and when she complained about Jay Leno telling a joke about Koreans eating dogs on camera (the comment never made it to air), she was ignored, pretty much.
So Terry was on Today, and shrugged off the accusations, and made sure his checks would continue to cash by calling AGT the most diverse place he’s ever worked:
“That was never my experience on America’s Got Talent. In fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment. The top 10 acts were Asian, women, older, younger, Black, White. It was everything in the gamut… I can’t speak for sexism because I am not a woman, but I can speak on behalf of any racism comments.”
It’s nice to see Terry come to the defense of a former co-worker, especially since Gabrielle came to his defense while other people mocked him over his allegations of sexual assault.
Gabrielle responded to Terry’s defense of AGT by saying that none of the allegations that were reported were disputed by NBC.
Why anyone would gleefully get up on TV and tell lies that NO ONE disputed… But we already know. https://t.co/8MAfmzSgmI

Can someone please ask abt what happens to all that diversity folks are talking about BEHIND THE SCENES. Like, legit… where the hell is all that diversity in the production though homie? In the decision making ranks who control the fate of the diversity in front of the camera?

Thank u! Cuz girlllllll
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. https://t.co/X1uooWTpmK

The policing, criticism, and all other forms of bullshit ass commentary about our hair… KEEP FIGHTING!!! They truly believe if you stay quiet, they've won. Don't be quiet. Do not let this stand. https://t.co/21JATafVvZ

So after getting called out, you might possibly think that Terry would realize he was talking out his ass, and that trying to cape for his AGT bosses was not necessary, but instead of doing that, he bizarrely spit out a riddle that did nothing except make people crave breakfast.
“I’m a hog.
You’re a chicken.
Just ‘cuz you gave me eggs—
Don’t mean I owe you bacon.”

People didn’t really get it, so he went ahead and clarified that he was talking about Gabrielle and every other woman in his mentions educating him on his bullshit. And in the process, he said that his mom, sister, and daughters can fuck off, because the only woman he has to please is his wife, who is a can of Red Bull, apparently.
There is only one woman one earth I have to please. Her name is Rebecca.
Not my mother, my sister, my daughters or co-workers. I will let their husbands/ boyfriends/ partners take care of them.
Rebecca gives me WINGS

So while letting us know that he doesn’t give a fuck about Gabrielle, he also served his mother, sister, and daughters a plate of rocks that can go eat. Who knew that Terry Crews IS his White Chicks character.
