t’s been a long time and millions of dollars in earnings since Will
Smith graced the small screen on the television show "Fresh Prince of
Bel-Air," where he played a young man who grew up on the rough streets
of Philadelphia only to later be transplanted to the up-class confines
of his uncle’s mansion. Years later, however, even after Smith has
starred in many movies and become a veritable icon in Hollywood, one of
his former co-stars is holding a grudge against him.
Janet Hubert, who played his aunt, Vivian Banks, on the show from 1990
through 1993, was missing from a cast photo that was released last week
because she still bears Smith much ill will from their time working
together. Hubert apparently told TMZ recently, "There will never be a
reunion, as I will never do anything with an a—hole like Will Smith."
Hubert apparently holds Smith responsible for being replaced by Daphne
Reid for the final three years of the show and added, "This constant
reunion thing will never ever happen in my lifetime unless there is an
apology, which he doesn’t know the word." Smith did not comment on the
vitriol that Hubert spewed in that interview, but one must wonder what
transpired between the two of them. Smith did once tell a radio station
in an interview, "Hubert said once, ‘I’ve been in the business for 10
years and this snotty-nosed punk comes along and gets a show.’ No matter
what, to her I’m just the Anti-Christ."
