Haitian Rumor
There is no evidence that she has any Haitian ancestry. Her family is from Nebraska — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sagekreyol (talk • contribs) 06:10, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Dwayne Wade
There's an uncited sentence that says Union's been linked with Wade. I'd say it's a little more than that since she spent an entire interview on Kimmel talking about their relationship. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.52.147.84 (talk) 20:55, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

rape
Is it just me? Or does enyone else feel the paragraph about the rape is a little too... personal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.130.215 (talk • contribs) 19:03, 16 October 2006
 * I agree, it needs to be removed. The whole world does not need to know that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Platinum395 (talk • contribs) 13:43, 10 May 2007


 * Considering the fact that she openly spoke of and speaks out about her experience, makes it important to mention. NitaReads —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.94.98.5 (talk • contribs) 20:48, 5 August 2007


 * That was so rude and disrespectful to say that someone who has been through something so traumatizing can not share it with the rest of the world. One in every five girls are raped and if one person speaks up about it, maybe they all will. Everything happens for a reason and her experience most likely helped another girl cope with that similar experience. I also, was raped, not by a stranger, but by my own boyfriend. That experience has taught me a lot about love and men. I do not hate men infact i have been with the same man for seven years, but i am not nieve. Notice signs, pay attention, because everyone isn't as nice as they seem....Inspirational words from dymond —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.213.209.31 (talk • contribs) 01:55, 8 September 2007


 * By sharing her dreadful experience with the world she helps bring light to something so dark that many women choose not to acknowledge the fact that they too are victims of rape let alone talk about it with others. From a man's point of view, I see Ms. Union as a strong and couragous woman. I dated a woman that was a victim of a date rape and the trama that lingers is devastating to say the least.

She was "raped at" ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.255.1.54 (talk) 12:52, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

why no tv/music video appearences?
why is that info listed its info you would find on imdb.com (Inferno17 (talk) 18:01, 2 July 2009 (UTC)).

Age issue.
Was she really born in 1972. Some references need to be cited for the same. The reason I ask is that she acted in the movie "10 Things I hate about you" and played a high school girl at age 27 with co-actors who where a decade younger than her. Doesn't seem right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.193.130.146 (talk) 20:00, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Name change
It is rare that an established actress with a well-known name and credits in that name will change it on marriage. We would need to see some proof in reliable sources per WP:BLP to support any name changes and that is not in the article in its current form. Geraldo Perez (talk) 22:57, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Birth date
As with Mariah Carey, Mick Mars, Lil' Kim and some other celebrities who fudge their birthdates, there are conflicting reliable sources that give both 1972 and 1973. In fact, one of the sources cited here, Encyclopedia of World Biography, has two different years on two different pages of the very same website. When the very same website gives two different dates, it's disallowed POV to choose one over the other. --159.123.253.101 (talk) 16:17, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree, both need to be mentioned as both are well-referenced in reliable sources. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:57, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

commented in the edit history "Confirmed date of birth as October 29, 1972. During an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on November 4, 2016, Ms. Union confirmed she "turned 44 this past Saturday". This should be authoritative, if accurately reported, as it is her own words and does not appear to be self-serving as it supports an older age and generally when ages are fudged they are fudged to be a bit younger for people well-past young adulthood. It would be great if there were a video available so that others can verify what her exact words were, or some reliable secondary source that reports on the interview.
