Gabrielle Union and Orlando: fired by same company

Gabrielle Union now has a person who has had the same nasty experience she had being fired from America’s Got Talent show.

He is Actor Orlando Jones, who has also been fired from the third season of American Gods, which is produced by Fremantle, the same production company behind America’s Got Talent.

Jones, 51, posted a video message on Twitter Saturday sharply criticising the new American Gods showrunner Charles Eglee for his decision to axe Jones’ character Mr. Nancy.

The actor said he was fired on Sept. 10.

“There will be no more Mr. Nancy. Don’t let these motherf—ers tell you they love Mr. Nancy. They don’t,” Jones says in the video. “I’m not going to name names but the new season three showrunner is Connecticut-born and Yale-educated, so he’s very smart and he thinks that Mr. Nancy’s angry, get s— done is the wrong message for black America.”

In a follow-up tweet, Jones wrote that Fremantle, the production company behind both American Gods and America’s Got Talent, “is a nightmare.”

“They treated you like a 2nd class citizen for doing your job [too] well,” he wrote, tagging Union, as well as former America’s Got Talent judges and hosts Nick Cannon, Mel B and Heidi Klum.

“They were exceptionally nasty and evil the way they did it,” Jones added in a third tweet.

Union responded to Jones’ tweet, writing, “Ohhhhhhhhhhh
