Before
she
brought
it
as cheerleader
Isis
in
the
hit
2000
movie
Bring
It
On,
Union
played
Tia
and
Tamera’s friend
Vanessa
in
seasons
four
and
five.
The
ageless
actress
has
been
in
a
slew
of
movies
since,
among
them
The
Brothers,
Deliver
Us
From
Eva,
Bad
Boys
II,
The
Perfect
Holiday,
Cadillac
Records,
Think
Like
a
Man,
Top
Five,
Birth
of
a
Nation,
Girls
Trip
and
Breaking
In.
She
won
an
NAACP
Image
Award
for
her
role
as
a
driven
journalist
in
the
BET
series
Being
Mary
Jane
and currently
plays
an
LAPD
detective
(who
is
her
same
character
from
Bad
Boys
II)
in
Spectrum
Originals’
LA’s
Finest.
Union
spent
a
season
as
a
judge
on
America’s
Got
Talent
and
upon
her
exit
from
the
show
alleged
there
was
a “toxic
culture”
on
set
and
she
was
subjected
to
racist
and
sexist
remarks.
However,
an
independent
investigation
determined
that “no
one
associated
with
the
show
made
any
insensitive
or
derogatory
remarks
about
Ms.
Union’s
appearance,”
NBC
and
AGT
producers
shared in
May
2020.
At
the
time,
Union
told
Variety, “At
the
end
of
all
this,
my
goal
is
real
change—and
not
just
on
this
show
but
for
the
larger
parent
company.
It
starts
from
the
top
down.
My
goal
is
to
create
the
happiest,
most
high-functioning,
inclusive,
protected
and
healthy
example
of
a
workplace.”
She
married
now-retired
NBA
star
Dwyane
Wade
in
2014
after
almost
six
years
of
dating.
They
welcomed
daughter
Kaavia
James
via
surrogate
in
2018
and
she
is
also
stepmom
to
Wade’s
three
kids
from
previous
relationships.
