THE FIRST AUNT VIV FROM FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR PUTS WILL SMITH ON BLAST … CLAIMS HE HAD A GIGANTIC EGO!!!


 







June 18, 2009. MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that actress Janet Hubert, the first Aunt Vivian on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air is writing some kinda tell-all book. Apparently she’s still hot about getting fired and replaced from the show in 1993 by actress Daphne Maxwell Reid.

Here’s what she said about Don Cheadle’s minor role on the series:
Smith had people around him who made sure no one outshone him. I was happy to see Don Cheadle become the quality actor that he is, and often wondered how he made it past one episode, as Hilary's boyfriend, being such a fierce actor. No one could be on 'The Tonight Show,' that first season, except Will. And I mean no one.

Here’s what she said about actress Countess Vaughn being REJECTED by Will for the series:
I recall the lovely and incredibly talented Countess Vaughn coming to guest star. Oh my God! The day of table read, she was pee-in-your-pants funny. The writers were howling, we were howling, so I knew she was history – banished into the cornfield. Many years later, after she had her own show, I had to tell her when she asked me why. 'Miss Janet why did I get cut from the episode,' she asked? Simply, my darling, you were too good

Here’s how she found out that she got fired:
My mind was going in a million places. OK, I thought, they will come back; this is how they do it. They always come back. I started into the kitchen where Rayna – my friend, housekeeper and nanny was. She was doing dishes as baby E was enjoying a swing. I knelt down, kissed his head, and waited for the next round of negotiations. They never came.

The next time Michael [her agent] called he said, 'They are going to recast your role.' There was a beautiful stained glass window that I designed in the bedroom, and the windows were open, so my neighbors probably heard me scream. And that beautiful window probably has many cracks in it. Time of Death: approximately 3 pm. The real Vivian Banks was murdered

She really needs to let it go … nobody is really trying to hear what her bitter azz has to say about Will…

    No, she doesn't need to let it go. She's free to tell it as many times as she wants. If MTO doesn't like it, then why write a story on it? Will is cutthroat, a mediocre actor, and now he's a crazy Scientologist.

    I know most of you sheep and especially you brain washed female sheep on here probably would die at the chance of having Will Smith's balls in your mouth but I believe every fuggin word of what the old Aunt Viv is saying and I also think that a lot of it had to do with her being too dark as well. Most of you lame ass n*ggas will never understand anyway because you're a bunch of programmed brain washed sheep with your heads up your asses and you're all quite frankly useless to the black race so therefore you should all be eliminated. Anyway, all you lame ass n*ggas have a bad day.

    You no compassion having ignorant useless son of a bitch.

You should've been on that flight that got lost from Brazil you inconsiderate piece of sh*t. I know that's harsh to say but you're worthy of such a harsh statement you piece of fuggin sh*t. I hope you lose your fuggin job you bitch.

    @illslogic- Wow. Bitter much? Regardless of how and why she got fired, it's been some 20 years ago! If she had any class she would keep those bad experiences to herself. Will is an established, rich, A list star. Why drag this brother's name through the mud? Why release this book NOW, at the height of Will's fame? She sounds like she's bitter.

    20 years ago? What fuggin difference does it make if it was 20 years ago? She's obviously still hurting from that sh*t and couldn't gain any work since then apparently. Do you know how much staying on a show as successful as that could've gotten her more work once it was over? Bitter my ass, don't piss on a muthafuggas shoes and then get mad when they kick your ass once they realize it's not raining. Hell, black people still haven't gotten equal rights, reperations, etc. from sh*t steaming 400 years ago so 20 years ago ain't sh*t.

    Loved the orignial Aunt Viv she was some kinda spicy on the show...She had a mind of her own..Its ashame that we as people don't know how to treat others, as much as I love Will Smith, I can see him having a big ego..It's ashame he didn't realize that everyone has a job to do and the original was doing a great job to make the show work on a whole..the Daphne Maxwell Reid was terrible on that show and I love her also..but she didn't work. Hope things work out for Janet Hubert she is very talented
     

    Honesty24
    NO, SHE GOT FIRED BECAUSE, HER SKIN TONE WAS TOO DARK FOR THE AUDIENCE THAT WILL WAS BEING MARKETED TO. LOOK AT THE NEXT MOM THAT THEY BROUGHT IN. SHE WAS MUCH LIGHTER, AND CAUSED LESS OF A THREAT.

    I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE THAT IN REAL LIFE WILL SMITH IS AN @SSHOLE. OF COURSE, I CAN'T BE FOR SURE, BUT HE JUST DOESN'T COME OFF LIKE THAT. THEN AGAIN HE'S AN ACTOR SO YOU NEVER KNOW.

    I'M GOING TO GIVE HER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, AND SAY THAT IF SHE WAS BEING BLACK-BALLED LIKE THAT AND COULDN'T GET HER SHINE ON BECAUSE OF WILL, IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF THE POWERS THAT BE, AND NOT NECESSARILY HIM.

    I FIGURED WILL DID NOT LIKE DARK SKINNED PEOPLE EXCEPT TO BE THE HELP (JEFFREY).....


    SOME STUFF NEEDS TO BE SAID IT IS HER PERROGATIVE.. KNOWING WILL HE PROBABLY HAD A 10 YEAR CLAUSE AND THEY COULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT. THE NEW AUNT VIV SUCKED AND COULD NOT ACT AT ALL. YOU SE HOW NOONE ELSE HAS MADE IT, RIGHT.....


    I CAN BELEIVE IT.. WILL HAS ALWAYS BEEN A DIVA..

    WE DON'T KNOW THE REAL STARS OR WHAT THEY ARE REALLY LIKE. THE WHOLE INDUSTRY IS CUT THROAT AND YOU THINK HE MADE IT BY ROLLING OVER...HUMP!!

    Why is she still trying to come forth with this info years and years later? It's too damn late now. And why is it that she's the only one saying this? I'm sure she's not the only person he's offended in all the years of that show. I don't doubt that this is the truth, but it's damn-near irrelevant now.

    I think fair is fair. We see to often people have good roles on good shows and they get done so wrong. I adore Will Smith but I believe Janet (VIV).

    Will has admitted to being big headed at some point so she may have some truth to this. Let's let her vent people. She will feel better afterwards.

    We have to have empathy for her and see this from her point of view. She is a serious actress and most of them think someone is disrespecting their craft when a non actor like Will comes around and blows up the spot. Only she knows what happened not us.

    Will just needs to tell Janet (viv) he is sorry for anything he has done and with Wills charm Janet will forgive Will in seconds. lol.

    I never liked the first aunt viv. Her personality and acting was good, but her complexion was too dark.

    I liked the second aunt viv better. She had good hair and a nice light complexion. Even though her acting wasn't as good, she was much better for the show.

    I am light skin and I disagree.

    I luv aunt viv complexion. She had nice skin tone and you could tell she was a dancer because she had a lean muscular figure. I liked her sassiness to the show and thought her character kept it real although the character lived in a nice neighborhood. The other one was pretty too but boring.

    But that is just me though.

    WELL IT'S HISTORY BUT SHE HAS A RIGHT TO TELL HER STORY. WILL SMITH AINT ALL THAT AND HE'S A FREAKY HOLLYHO WHICH IS THE ONLY REASON HE MADE IT SO FAR..TELL EM VIV!!

    THIS WOMAN'S COMPLEXION SHOULDN'T HAVE STOPPED HER FROM WORKING. SHE'S BEAUTIFUL AND SHE'S A GREAT ACTRESS..THAT OTHER VIV WAS PATHETHIC AS AN ACTRESS. THIS LADY COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN ON A SOAP AND BEEN WONDERFUL. ALL THE BEST ACTORS ARE ON SOAPS....

She has derailed herself by staying so stuck in the past; she's sad to have spent all this time talking about her problems with him on the set. Those episodes are throw backs now, lol.

    Wow, I always wanted to know what happened with that whole situation! Fresh Prince is and will always be my favorite show!!! But I notice that this happened a lot, with the first cast member(dark skinned) being replaced with a light skinned cast member! It has happened on family matters, fresh prince, and my wife and kids...don't act like yall don't notice that! It's a shame too because I thought the 1st aunt vib was the best. She was very strong willed and played the role perfectly. When the new one came in it seemed like she didn't know a damn thang! But that's still my show though!

    Yes we do have to let go of negative past, but this is not the case with this woman. I do not like Will Smith and I never will like him. I think that he and his ghetto Skeletor wife are fake. Will can not act and her whored his way to the top. Jada's new show is boaring. Jada used to be down with the black cause. Nowdays the only thing she is down with is hanging out with Tom Cruise and the Beckems and the blackest Will has ever been is in his Summer Time music video. I hope others come up and tell on him. Bump Them! Next!

    Janet Hubert was far better. Daphne was boring and when is Hollywood going to step up and give darker skinned acors of any race a chance. Hollywood is the biggest stage for racism in America.

    Funny thing no one seemed to ask themselves why is it that Will Smith is the only one still making movies? And to be honest he was one of the worst actors on that series.

    The new Aunt Viv was BS, she was/ is married to Reid, who if i'm not mistaking was an exec. producer together with Quincy Jones. Thing is gay is as gay does. Will Smith HAD to do something in order to get where he is. It wasn't until 2007 will has been cast for different kinds of roles. So how can you claim he's one of the best actors. Please!!!!

    I wanna hear what she has to say. It makes a lot of sense because Will Smith was corny on Fresh Prince of Bel Air and his rapping skills were watered down...that's why he's not rapping today...he's not real! So, it makes a lof of sense. Will is not that great...did you see Seven Pounds? He kept making the same puke-like expression...that's what happens when you phuck your wife and men on the side! weak!

    And why is everyone talking about this happened "20 years ago?" Wasn't the show on in the early 90s??!!

    I can understand the ego..it was HIS show after all!! Was he as nasty as she's saying? Who knows? Everyone has their "representative" or "outside persona" in public, so we may never know...

    Is she still nursing that grudge? Injustice is the way of life. Adapt. Only one black mega-star, if that, can jump off from a tv sitcom anyway. It’s illogical to think she was replaced for being too dark. Did the bulb blow out at the casting call? No, Viv’s problem was more likely attitudinal as evidenced by this years-long brooding. The lengths we go to to gain sympathy!

    The original Aunt Viv was the bomb. I read years ago that Gay azz Will Smith was the cause of her being fired from the show. The New one that replaced her was very bland and had no character. Will is a egotistical, gay, perverted individual. He don't like anyone outshinning him. It was said that he kept threatening Selma Hynecks job in the Wild Wild West. He figures he is the big kahuna and calls the shots. With his shame of a marriage. Will appears more feminin and Jada more masculine. Has anyone noticed this. They are GENDER BENDING. That is what freaks do.
     

    Tyme2Rise
    By the way Will Smith is not the Best Black actor to me. Terrance Howard will act his azz under a table. He looks sick to me. It appears that he has age 15yrs in the last 2. All gray haired. TRUST ME WILL LOOKS SICKLY, what's up with that???
     

    Tyme2Rise
    Will is a part of the Fraternal order called The BLACK BOULE. It consists of wealthy entertainers, politicians and corporate heads. They have a convention that is given once every 2 years somewhere in Atlanta. Mostly men attend this function. THEY ENGAGE IN HOMO SEX AND HAVE s RITUALS. Most of your famous Black Celebrities belong to this order. You must understand that the entertainment business is very FRATERNAL. Also there is alot of nepotism that takes place. Alot of these celebs are related to each other. Haven't anyone notice that they hide who their children are alot of times.
     

    CharmedArts1
    "She really needs to let it go … nobody is really trying to hear what her bitter azz has to say about Will…"

    STFU MTO! She doesn't need to "let it go". What she has to say about his actions are relevant because it gives insight into his character and his level of respect for the success and upliftment of other black entertainers.

    What "Aunt Viv" had to say is just validates my view of him as a douchbag and that shucking & jiving show, TFPOBA, as less than abysmal.

    Nicca please. I doubt if Will Smith is part of the Boule (it's pronounced BOO-LAY for some of y'all that don't know). He's not powerful enough or accomplished enough. Just because silly Black folk and dumb white people think he's the sh!t doesn't mean he has what it takes to be a part of the Boule. What has he done for Black communities? What power does Will Smith have? Get the f*ck out of here with that BS.

    THE TRUTH is Will Smith is gay & apart of the down-low-low "secret society." According to a Hollywood Madame gay used to pay for GAY SEX.
     

    NYSDIVA
    HERE'S THE LINK: READ IT FOR YOURSELF.

    IUC has learned actor Will Smith has swung both ways for years. According to a notorious Hollywood Madame, Smith was a client of hers for years before she packed up shop and moved her operation to Manhattan earlier this year. She remembers the first time she ever spoke with Smith. (for more on the Hollywood Madame and other A list clients of hers Click Here)“I had to reassure him over and over that I could guarantee discretion,” she said. “Once I convinced him I could, he placed his order. It was for a man. I had 14 women working for me and two guys. You’d be surprised at how many Hollywood stars requested the services of the guys.”
    Could Smith’s proclivities account for his recent apparent conversion to Scientology, a religion that’s chief appeal in Hollywood appears to be its promise to turn gay people straight. At least according to long-time Scientologist Michael Pattinson, who sued the Church for failing to keep that promise after he shelled out $500,000 in auditing fees over a 25-year period but was never “cured” of his homosexuality as promised.

    It takes some people longer than others to get over situations, and she has all rights to express how she feels. I'm a individual who likes to examine life from all prespectives, and this to shows another example of dark skinned blacks are treated third class to light skinned blacks.

    I loved her as aunt Vivian. Her figure was so nice. I think she was much better than the other lady who played Aunt Vivian because the other woman seemed to homely for me plus the first aunt vivian was way more believable. But, what I can't seem to figure out is how everybody continued watching the fresh prince after she was replaced like it was nothing? Even I didn't really notice the difference until now. For some odd reason I still remember how Harriet was replaced by that lady who played gina's mama off of "martin". I guess I remembered that because the second Harriet was terrible actress.
     

    chocolate_bunny
    Is it just me or was will smith more attractive when he was on the fresh prince than he is now? It may have a little to do with how new he was to the entertainment world and I guess he just seemed like more of an "around the way guy".

    I always thought that Janet Hubert was a brilliant,beautiful and talented actress.She played Aunt Viv way better than Tim Reid's wife,Darlene.What Janet is saying is very true.There were always clashes on the set between Will and Janet,he was responsible in her being fired.I feel that Janet should have gotten her due and the respect that she was entitled to.Hollywood are full of racism,and cutthroat dealings . Fresh Prince of Bel Air no longer had that spark once Janet was fired.In fact,not long after janet was gone,that shows ratings began plummeting and then,the season ended

    I really loved her in that role on the show. I was definitely shocked and saddened to see her go. I could never really get into Ms Reid as the mother, not that she didn't do a good job, it was just that it was overshadowed b/c she was replacing someone else who pretty much owned that character. I think Janet Hubert has the right to tell her story and speak her truth. Maybe she needs the closure b/c it seems she was blackballed after whatever happened with that show.
