Gabrielle Union didn’t realize she had to make a change in her demeanor until she lost everything.
“I had to hit rock bottom. I had to lose everything,” Union told Jada Pinkett Smith on the Facebook series “Red Table Talk.” “For me that was my first marriage, going through the divorce process.”
Union was previously married to former NFL player Chris Howard. They divorced in 2006. In 2014, Union tied the knot with Dwyane Wade.
“My show was canceled and I was having difficult relationships with my BFFs,” Union continued. “It was everyone’s fault but my own and I literally found myself under my bed with my dog.”
Union considered herself a “troll” and a “hater” until she came face to face with her issues and worked with a life coach to help her change her ways.
“I hate the high road,” Union said, laughing. “It’s like getting on the 405 at 4 o’clock on a Friday. I get the attention back on me because I’m talking s–t about the hot girl.”
Though the “Bring It On” star has evolved in her personal life, her friendships and her career, she admitted she was typically the problem in her relationships.
“I had to see myself clearly … that you’re the common denominator for the vast majority of your problems,” she explained.
