Unless you've been living under a damn rock, you know Gabrielle Union — she's been a major TV and movie actress for 25 years, with notable roles in everything from Bring It On to Think Like a Man to BET's Being Mary Jane.
She also happens to be married to NBA star Dwyane Wade and they are 100% relationship goals, but that is neither here nor there.
Anyways, you can imagine Gabrielle was a little taken aback when she saw this tweet from WSVN 7News in Miami linking to a news piece about her and Dwyane...
...so she called them out:
And then Dwyane followed up with a tweet of his own:
It’s Gabrielle Union-Wade to be exact https://t.co/1vNJhJldn3
TO. BE . EXACT.
Naturally, others quickly jumped in to support Gabrielle too...
@wsvn @DwyaneWade Me counting all the characters you had left to type @itsgabrielleu
@itsgabrielleu In the age of the Dora Milaje, Ava, Oprah and Shonda , ya'll know better @wsvn. Ms. Gabi was a thing before we knew D. Wade! (no shade to him tho) https://t.co/RMS7PH1Cja
...and some even "fixed" the tweet for WSVN:
@wsvn @DwyaneWade @itsgabrielleu Gabrielle Union donates $200,000 to student-ran gun control rally. She is also the wife of basketball player @DwyaneWade. See I fixed it for you. Thank me later😎
@itsgabrielleu "Majorly accomplished actress and model, Gabrielle Union donates $200,000 to gun control rally" sounds way better to me anyway
For their part, WSVN acknowledged the mistake:
@smilum77 @DwyaneWade @itsgabrielleu You're right. We have apologized, and will have a word with our writer.
And then they sent out this updated tweet, which included Gabrielle:
Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union donate $200,000 to student-run gun control rally https://t.co/O0ghtdk5w3
Here's hoping Gabrielle (and any other "wives" out there) continue to get the respect they damn well deserve!
