Gabrielle Union had time today.

The Being Mary Jane star called out a local Miami TV station on Twitter on Monday after they referred to her as Dwyane Wade’s wife in a tweet about a story where the couple donated $200,000 to a gun control rally.

“When they let you know what they think of you,” she tweeted. “I have a name.”
