Gabrielle Union Reveals Her 1st Big Purchase — And Why Her Dad Disapproved

Gabrielle Union shared the story behind her first splurge — a Mazda Miata — after Hollywood success and why her dad disapproved of the purchase

While speaking on a panel at the American Black Film Festival in Miami, Florida, on June 12, Union told the crowd, “So stupid. Union’s career really took off in 1999 and 2000 when she starred in a series of movies including Bring It On, Love & Basketball, and 10 Things I Hate About You. I was given full range to do whatever I wanted with Isis in Bring It On, and I chose respectability and to be classy and take the high road because I felt like that would make her be appropriate, the right kind of Black girl,” Union told Good Morning America in September 2021.
