(NEW YORK) – Julianne Hough is addressing her and Gabrielle Union‘s controversial exits from America’s Got Talent after just one season.

During an appearance Tuesday on People Now alongside her brother Derek Hough, the actress, dancer and singer weighed in on the situation as outrage continues to grow in Hollywood amid reports that their departures were the result of a toxic workplace culture at the NBC talent competition show.

“I would just say that — my goodness. I just believe and value at the highest regard that everybody has a voice and should be heard, first and foremost,” said Julianne, 31, who is set to star in two upcoming NBC Christmas specials. “And then I believe that the paradigm of the workplace and how you do business and work with people now, it’s shifting, and I think that the people that really want to see change happen are going to authentically and positively … do that. And so that’s all I really have to say about that.”
