"Big Mood" is how Gabrielle Union captioned her daughter's newest photo on Instagram, and it seems she feels the exact same way especially now that she's in the middle of a controversy.

She posted the photo just a couple of days after she was fired from NBC's "America's Got Talent." It was revealed that she was "subjected to a very specific critique," which was that her rotating hairstyles were "too black" for the show audience.

INVESTIGATING THE ALLEGED TOXIC WORKING ENVIRONMENT

Union replaced Spice Girl Mel B in the show, and it was revealed her contract was not renewed in November. Now, she opens up about the "toxic" working environment on the show, and how she hopes it improves.

To maintain fairness in its investigation, Freemantle, NBC, and Syco appointed an independent investigator to look into Union's claims.
