Union said:

I don’t understand it because they can’t do anything to you. You know, I mean, I don’t know, like I was very clear about my thoughts about Disney funding hate and oppression on a Disney carpet. I don’t know if they might murder my off, my character on Cheaper by the Dozen. It’s like [in] the sequel Zoe has died in a tragic accident. I don’t really, I don’t know. I will never know how my name is spoken of in meetings, you know, due to me telling the truth, right? I have no idea.

Luckily, there’s enough other companies that are willing to hire me knowing that I told the truth, and I don’t. I will not be held back by fear of what. You know, take my career away. I’m Black in Hollywood. What does that even mean? You know what I mean? And luckily. I have a husband who has done OK for myself, I’m only falling so far, so if I can’t do it. Like Jesus. So I do, you know, I try to I try to cover as many people and things as I can in a given day or week or what have you.

I try to put my money where my mouth is, but I don’t do it performative. Like, if they were to do a poll like who is the way who of the waves give it money to? … that’s just kind of how I’ve had to move through life as an adult since I was raped at 19 and sued the company that was responsible for that. And now they’re bankrupt, sorry, Payless. You should have gotten right with the Lord because karma was a little delayed, but comes right. It is always right on time.
