On Friday, the actress responded to a tweet from a fan who expressed “love and support” and told Union, 47, to “keep standing in your truth.”
“Thank u!” Unionresponded. “Cuz girlllllll ? Truth telling, wanting change & having MULTIPLE witnesses who bravely came forward to let EVERYONE know I didn’t lie or exaggerate, really exposes those who enthusiastically will throw you under the bus, forgetting quickly who stepped up 4 THEIR truth.”
