Janet Hubert, best known for playing the original Aunt Viv on "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" took to social media on Monday to criticize former co-star Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith after Jada announced that she will not be attending this year's Oscars over the lack of diversity in the nominees.
"Girl please, why are you always speaking for your man?" Hubert replied to Jada Pinkett Smith's Oscars boycott video on Facebook, a post that has since been deleted, according to The Daily Beast.
In the post, Hubert criticized Will Smith, who was snubbed from the Oscar nominations for his performance in "Concussion," saying that the actor's "accent was all over the place" and "his female co-stars role was cut to nothing to make sure she did not outshine him."
"Now you want other actors to support your cause and be blacklisted in Hollywood as I was because of your lying ass husband," she added. "When I asked Smith many years ago to stand up together for salary.. he did not," she said, referring to the time she asked Will Smith to get the show's cast together to demand higher wages from the network.
Hubert and Will Smith have had beef for years after she was sacked and replaced by Daphne Reid on the '90s sitcom, which she believes Will Smith had a role in.
If the Facebook post wasn't enough, Hubert shared a four-minute-long video on YouTube and continued to disparage the "Gotham" actress.
"There's a lot of s--t going on in the world that you don't seem to recognize. People are dying, being shot left and right, people are hungry, people are trying to pay bills - and you're talking about actors and Oscars. It just ain't that deep," Hubert said in the video, according to E!.
"Here's the other thing. For you to ask other actors and actresses to jeopardize their career and standing in this town, you know damn well you don't do that. Here's the other thing - they don't care," she added. "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."
To #jadapinkettsmith, Love #auntviv
