  • Will Smith is one of the funniest people in this planet. He is a humble respectful guy. In many of his interviews if you ever see em he brings joy to the interviewer and the audience, if you ever get the chance you can watch the interviews of the cast on will and they say he brings joy and was the reason they gave 100 percent in their roles. If someone like will one of the nicest people cant work with her then he had a good reason to Fire her.

  • Not Just Daphane Maxwell Ried What About Lilttle Nikki (Ross Bagley) He Ruined The Show Too Now These Days he's Trying To Act Like A Gangster An SHIT.

  • Stop saying Daphie Ried was awful she wasnt awful at all...typical crap people say when someone is replaced. Ultimately, its NOT up to us who plays who. i personally wasnt upset when Janet hubert was replaced at all..i just simply continued watching and enjoying the show! SMH. and anyway from this interview Janet looks like a grade A BUZZ KILLER LOL

  • @kilamark @doeboy84 @newbeginxyz Did any of you listen to the interview?

  • She's crazy!! She thought she was the star & because she came from a broadway background, she didn't want to play 2nd to some young rapper. Alfonso Ribeiro just said she was a nightmare!!

  • Janet Hubert simply didn't have the professional sense to work with her co-stars as a TEAM. The producers were correct when they fired her snobbish ass. Janet Hubert allowed her own ego to get her bounced from a good job and she is still resentful and angry. No one gi ves a hoot about her after she was fired. Daphe Reid was the ideal actress to play the role and she did it very well.No one even wants Janet Hubert at the cast reunion. She should forever shut her has been mouth.

  • @newbeginxyz Sorry, but you are fucking stupid if you think Daphne Reid was the "ideal actress for the role" SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. HER CHARACTER WAS SO BORING. Everyone is still wondering how she even got the part. She's not snobbish, she's professional. Sorry, but you are seriously unintelligent.

  • @newbeginxyz Yes, it takes a lot of time and skill for Daphne to sing "the wheels on the bus".

  • She is absolutely beautiful. They all hated her for being a beautiful, resilient, black woman.

  • @AirForceGirl05 I know right..Anytime you're a sophisticated and classy black woman everyone calls you a bytch. She was about her business and there's nothing wrong with that. She wasn't willing to sell her self out like "big willie."

  • She seems so demanding and shit, no wonder why Alfonso called her crazy!! Yeah, she was a great actress, but she wasn't the star, she didn't have the right to act commanding to the set. She just complains and causes drama.

  • @kilamark right? she seems like a bitch.

  • Lol because that's what I do

  • I understand where she's coming from, but leave your drama at home.

    Her marriage falling apart and being preggers had nothing to do with her job. She wanted people to consider her situation when they worked with her, but she didn't seem interested in giving the same consideration. Either way, everyone else on the cast has cited their mistakes and issues, have apologized, but she's the only one still talking about it negatively in every interview she does, even when she isn't asked.

  • @skatergurljubulee How did you know they didnt ask her?

  • Yeah, yeah... Pregnant, divorcing, impatient... and that's the studios problem why? If she is suppose to be such a profesional then you have to know how to separate your personal life from your job. It's noones fault but her own. If she was hard to work with it was only natural for the studio heads to replace her. I grant it wasn't the best replacement but a job is a job. If start to do my work bad because of personal problems at home my boss is entiteled to fire me...

  • @winnetouch I thought she said in the interview when it was time to work she turned Vivianne on?

  • OH SHIT she got pretty

  • she was the perfect aunt viv! the new one ruined the character! she was dull and useless.

  • Janet seems like too much of a bitch but i loved her as Vivian wayyyy more than Daphne Maxwell-Reid

  • First off I'd like to say that I respect this woman's stellar talent as an actor.I think they mad e bisg mistake taking Janet off the show as she was truly excellent and I hope to see her in TV, Film or theatre. I think she'd be perfect for a very dramatic role!

  • she was so carlton about everything

  • she just seemed to be too serious of an actor and couldnt appreciate a show like fresh prince.

  • @neerrg

    That's probably because she came from Broadway, and wasn't used to a 22 year old, semi-talented rapper calling the shots. It sounds like life on the set was very loose and laid back, and Janet preferred a more structured, disciplined set. She was assertive and professional, and had the courage to stand up for herself. It sounds like she had to work hard to make Viv a strong woman, and they undid all of that when Daphne Maxwell Reid took over the part.

  • I wonder about the whole "read through"situations and Will not taking it serious, because the producer said Will had a habit of knowing EVERYONE's lines, they said it used to actually piss some of the cast members off, maby that's what she was talking about.

  • DIVAAAAS!!!

  • I like that she showed up on time and was about business. And yeah people playing loud music on set and not taking it serious sounds annoying but so does she. She Comes off, what's the word i'm looking for? Pretentious , Hossididdy (not even a real word), artsy, high on herself? Snobbish. Yeah that's it. They still shouldn't have replaced her though. Her replacement didn't work for me.

  • she was TOO serious 

  • @Tomgirl87 I don't think there is ever a "too serious" when you are pationate about your art and craft and you spend years working on it and honing it...That's like saying Beyonce is "too serious" about her music and singing or a doctor is "too serious" about their jobs...WTF?

  • BTW LOVE her hair.

  • She was the best Aunt Viv no doubt. But she's a little full of herself. She was not the star, Will was. I don't think anyone expected Will Smith to be as big as he got, since he was the novice. But you can't deny talent. I don't think she could handle the Hollywood game. WS learned to play it. I HAVE heard WS acknowledge that he needed to grow up in the beginning, but who didn't? When you see her all you hear is complaints. It makes her appear snotty and petty. You need to move on Sister

  • Comment removed

  • Now people say that Will has big ego?? Listen to HER! And the set was a party?? Well, gee! It was a freakin SITCOM!!

  • She was described as very arrogant (which she comes off as here), and not fond of the goofy environment essentially becoming the difficult stick in the mud. I think she's being pretty honest here. As good as she was, she just didn't belong on that kind of show.

  • @faeriegeek Exactly.

  • it's funny because wth no disrespect for her replacement janet was absolutely the best auntie Viv period, she got the character!

  • bitch shut the fuck up

  • JANET HUBERT is the true Vivan Banks!!! The new Vivian Banks can shove acting in her ass!!!!

    JANET HUBERT IS THE BEST!!!!!!

  • she was the best viv and whats with the tv shows replacing the first mom figure who happens to be dark skinned with a lighter skinned one? They didn't only do it on Fresh Prince but also in Family matters, does anyone else remember that?

  • @PhillyGirl1

    in modern day popculture, lighter skinned black & mixed race folk are considered more attractive and thus.. more valuable to the entertainment industry. but when you have real talent (like janet) it really doesn't matter and that outshines the ordinary take. that's why she was first choice.

  • i love her!!! i never liked the new viv sorry!! ever the professional shes fierce!!!

  • @babyshizzle07 nobody liked her, she suck

  • You could tell she's one of the serious no nonsense professional type actors. No room for silliness. That environment was not for her. She's better off doing broadway and plays where professionalism and "real" acting takes place.

    That said even though she was difficult was probably the best actor on the show as far as skill and craft.

  • The "Vivian" character lost all class, sophistication, poise, respectability, and talent when Janet Hubert left the show. It was a sad day when they replaced her with that other woman, Daphne, who just made me CRINGE!

  • @MissSheilaBeila Well, that show wasn't about Vivian. It was about Will.

  • She was the best Aunt Viv.... ever

  • Will Smith is the star of that show and this lady didnt get it ,

  • @iseeredpeoples Yeah but Ms. Janet was the shit to.

  • Dark and Lovely...I loved her the best.

  • I've always liked Daphne Maxwell Reid...However, not as Aunt Viv... Janet was my favorite Vivian Banks...She (Janet) was much stronger and believable.

  • I admire and respect Janet for what she is doing. She does have some good points and she makes some good arguments. My only problem with this whole thing is that it happened over 15 years ago. Why all of a sudden is she talking about it now?

  • @hootieman92 SHE IS JELOUS OF WILLS FAME , ITS SO CLEAR , take a second an think about it, she holds herslef as such a great actress ad she is, but she never got the fame she expected, and will took her spotlight, and she hates to see him like tht.

  • @persiansamm I agree totally. That's kinda what I meant to say. But what I said came out wrong. I like the way you put it! I'm no good with words.

  • @persiansamm And you call me the goof? She flat out said she NEVER wanted to go to Hollywood. Only thing clear to me is that you blindly choose to accept anything said about her at face value. I could care less about Alfonso (who also amounted to nothing outside of his two similar tv roles with rappers), talking about someone being "crazy." Her being professional versus someone making black jokes with the audience and being unprofessional it's obvious why he got her fired.

  • She didn't seek or want fame so there is nothing to be jealous of, and she didn't show any signs of being jealous. People have and still ask what really went down, and after never sharing her story she finally delivers. And you'd be surprised at all the dirty politics and corruption in Hollywood, especially big name people. Saying she was a triple threat is not acting like one is high and mighty, she made comment about how you had to be all three, and how she had to fight to make Vivian a

  • character most people remember her version of. Will trashed her on publically when this all went down (Alfonso didn't say a thing till that random vid came up on here). E! True hollywood story, James Avery as I said in the other vid also said Will got on a high horse. Karan worked with her again and spoke favorbly back in the early 00s, Tatyana said she was like a mother to her and was sad when she left. Joseph even called her a friend recently despite what she said about him not speaking up.

  • So again, like I said. There are two sides of every story. Screw all the fake hollywood "image" stars portray in the public. A true FBOBA fan is a fan of the show, the stars' personal lives are not FBOBA and thus don't have an effect on the enjoyment of the series. You say she didn't really pursue acting, yet she's been on a number of shows and has been doing other stuff (obviously she's been able to raise a kid and joining causes). Stop listening blindly and open your eyes.

  • @hootieman92 Maybe that's what the website wanted her to discuss?. People to this day still ask why she was replaced.

  • "If you wante me to kiss your ass, You had to put it in my contract!" Love it Aunt Viv!lol

  • I really liked her and stop watching when she left

  • LOL @ 2:31...Philllliiippp...Wiiilll­l. You go on head Auntie Viv. You will always be! *snap*...5...4...3...2...1...

  • I'm mad they which aunt viv after the third season

  • Is there more to this or is it only 2 minutes long? Where can I see the full video?

  • @NoorAlShihaby this is a tv show and its comes on all the time and i must say it was VERY intersting...the channel it comes on is (tv one) and check you local listings to see the channel and time...like where i live that episode is coming on at 330...hope i helpedd!

  • @cheerbabe010 Oh we don't have this channel in my country =( I was hoping for a link. But thank you very much for your help xx

  • I think she has every right in the world to be bitter. People who are judging her negatively would feel the same way had they been fired. And as someone who has dabbled in acting, I understand where she's coming from. There's nothing more annoying than an unprofessional and immature environment.

  • For all the people on here saying that she was bitter, Shut the Fuck UP! This series is called "Life After" alright? She's talking about her experiences on the set of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. She's a highly sophisticated woman who was going through a crumbling marriage and was pregnant so you know that'll take a toll on a person. Hopefully Will is around 40 now so I hope he apologized for his immature behavior and the way he handled Janet Huberts' departure from Fresh Prince.

  • Looking at reruns of the show as an adult, honestly, SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD REALLY ACT! I love Will Smith now, but let's be honest, at that time in his life, he probably wasn't as mature as he is now. I mean he went bankrupt from not paying his taxes and was having wife issues. Janet is a very professional woman so of course there would be some clashes between Will and her. Will was already getting sick of doing the show at this point.

  • I knew a lot, I knew a lot!

    oh please...

  • I saw her show and it seemed to me that she was a little jealous of Will Smith and probably felt like she wanted more of the spotlight but that's just me..

  • Damn that's some serious bitterness

  • I enjoyed Janet has the aunt---I belive she was the person for that character---I did not like the new replacement-----------The thing is ( Our world does not care about others, in no form------Money and power is the respect-----anything offered outside of that is not heard------ Good luck and prosperity to Janet Hubert ( you are also beautiful !!!!!

  • @vplatinum4 , yeah, she did a great job as Aunt Viv. It just seems that she didn't get along with her co-stars very well.

  • My sis told me she was going to be on 'Life After', so I was looking forward to seeing this show until I watched these clips. So disheartening...I heard rumors about what was going on behind the scenes, but I didn't know after 20 freakin' years she would still be in my opinion, bitter... People have changed, times have changed, Will has changed. He's 40 something year's old now with a beautiful family and a successful career. So why bring up old sh-t and rehash bad memories from 20 years ago?

  • She plays on One Life to Live now as Evangeline's mom..

    and whats-her-face.

  • I never even knew what the new Vivian's real name was. She must have been friends with somebody to get that role 'cause she couldn't act to save her life. She tried hard (too hard), but failed. Janet just had "it" - she was dignified, but would take her earrings off quick if need be

  • Janet Hubert WAS Aunt Viv...HANDS DOWN!!! Daphne Reid was awful..just awful!

  • @dh1173 whaat???? smh

  • @vorlonspider I'm not Daphne was a bad actress...loved her on FRANK'S PLACE, but as far as characterization and acting, Janet had it hands down.  Janet has ADMITTED that she was under alot of personal problems during season 3 (high-risk pregnancy, failing marriage, mood swings, etc.) Will DID do her wrong and admitted it in EBONY several years ago that the show wasn't the same without her.

  • It amazes me these comments you people make on a clip, you are really stupid to think it was all sugar and spice. Look at will promoting his children and his wife, Producing stuff for his own family and no one else. I personally hate rap music and think it is the downfall of our race and children. Just the sound of it coming up the street. Hate it too.

  • @kinkygirley OMFG....get a grip. people said the same thing about Rock and Roll...

  • @kinkygirley I don't mind him producing stuff for his family as long as he keep's making good project's like 'The karate Kid' movie he produced for his son Jaden. Which was fantastic!...I don't see any white producer's or directors creating any roles for black children or women. So us black's have to do it for ourselves and if he's just hiring his family at this time, WTF do I care?! I can see if I was an actress trying to get in one of his productions...Family business...family first.

  • I can't wait to see the rest of this, I need to know more.

  • You were part of one of the most successful TV sitcoms of all time and you gonna go on TV 20 years later and complain!? Are you serious?

  • @missgj ....u don't know everything.neither do I.....so shut up
