(CNN) Julianne Hough is speaking out in support of her former "America's Got Talent' co-star, Gabrielle Union. Hough and Union were both judges on the 14th season of the hit NBC show and it was announced last week that their contracts were not renewed. Since the news of their departure hit, there have been reports that Union was fired and that she experienced a toxic work environment on the set. "We need to start conversations and I just commend Gabrielle for speaking her truth and starting a conversation," Hough said on the third hour of the "Today" show. Union confirmed on Wednesday that she and her team had a meeting with NBC to discuss the workplace culture at "America's Got Talent."
