Fresh Prince co-star Janet Hubert puts Will and Jada Pinkett Smith on blast over ‘White Oscars’ boycott

Actress Jada Pinkett-Smith recently took to Twitter to voice her displeasure in the apparent lack of diversity among 2016 Academy Award nominees. She finished with a call to other minorities to join her in boycotting the Oscars. But not everyone agreed with her.

Will Smith’s former co-star Janet Hubert (the first Aunt Viv from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”) had some choice words for Jada and her former 'nephew'. Looks like there's still bad blood here. Janet was fired by Will Smith from Fresh Prince. She later alleged that Will turned on her because she wouldn't kiss up to him and also because he wouldn't stand up for a raise for the cast.

About the Oscar boycott, Janet began with a dig at Pinkett-Smith:

“First of all, miss thing,does your man not have a mouth of his own with which to speak?

“The second thing, girlfriend, there’s a lot of sh*t going on in the world that you all don’t seem to recognise. People are dying. Our boys are being shot left and right. People are starving. People are trying to pay bills. And you’re talking about some motherf**king actors and Oscars. It just ain’t that deep.”

"And here's the other thing, for you to ask other actors, and other black actresses and actors, too, to jeopardize their career and their standing in a town that you know damn well you don't do that. And here's the other thing—they don't care. They don't care! And I find it ironic that somebody who has made their living, made their living and made millions and millions of dollars from the very people you're talking about boycotting just because you didn't get a nomination, just because you didn't win. 

"Well karma must be a bitch, cause now here you are. Here you are, you've had a few flops and you know there are those out there who really deserved a nod," 

I didn’t think, frankly, you deserved a Golden Globes nomination with that accent, but you got one. And just because the world doesn’t go the way you want it to go, doesn’t mean you can go out and start asking people to stand up and singWe Shall Overcome for you."You ain't Barack and Michelle Obama. And y'all need to get over yourselves". 

"You have a huge production company that you only produce your friends and family and yourself. So you are a part of Hollywood, you are part of the system that is unfair to other actors. So get real."
