Outside of swimsuit shoots, Union has been busy utilizing her platform to talk out in opposition to LGBTQ laws in help of 14-year-old stepdaughter Zaya Wade, who’s trans.

“I was very clear about my thoughts about Disney funding hate and oppression,” Union stated. “They might murder off my character, you know, in Cheaper by the Dozen. The sequel [might be] ‘Zoey has died in a tragic accident.’ The reality is, I don’t know. I will never know how my name is spoken of in rooms due to me telling the truth, right? I have no idea. Luckily, there’s enough other companies that are willing to hire me, knowing that I tell the truth and I will not be held back by fear.”
She continued to share the way it’s essential for her and husband Dwyane Wade to place their cash the place their mouth is in relation to the causes they care about.
“We have this platform, and we are in a position to tell the truth,” she stated. “At some point, ya gotta say, ‘I think I have enough money or things or power that I can be honest.’ I don’t know what that line in the sand is or how many billions someone needs to just tell the truth, shame the devil. I don’t know what that barometer is for everybody. But we hit that number a long time ago.”
