(CNN) The controversy surrounding Gabrielle Union's departure from "America's Got Talent" continues. NBC said in a statement to CNN on Monday they are working with Union to "hear more about her concerns." "We remain committed to ensuring a respectful workplace for all employees and take very seriously any questions about workplace culture," the statement read. "We are working with Ms. Union through her representatives to hear more about her concerns, following which we will take whatever next steps may be appropriate." A separate report by Vulture pointed to workplace tension between Union and Simon Cowell, a judge and an executive producer on the series, in part, over Cowell's habit of smoking on set, which is illegal in California.
