Dwyane Wade is coming to the defence of his wife, Gabrielle Union, claiming the actress was stopped from performing her judging duties on “America’s Got Talent."

 “So when I got the news that my wife was being fired — my first question was obviously why!? I am still waiting on a good answer to that question. But if anyone knows or have heard of her you know she’s an advocate for our community and culture. Dwyane said” He went on to say that he was proud of his wife for “standing up for what she stands for.”

Union is yet to comment on her exit.
