Aunt Viv is out for “Fresh” blood.
Janet Hubert, who played Will Smith’s original Aunt Vivian on “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” called out Jada Pinkett Smith in a YouTube video posted Monday for threatening to boycott the Oscars.
Pinkett Smith
had blasted the Academy Awards for snubbing her husband and other black
actors in this year’s nominees on Martin Luther King Jr. Day - which
incensed Hubert.
“First of all, Miss Thing, does your man not have a mouth of his own
with which to speak?” the 60-year-old said, just getting warmed up for
her four-minute online rant.
“The second thing, girlfriend, there’s a lot of s--- going on in the
world that you all don’t seem to recognize. 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---ing actors and
Oscars. It just ain’t that deep,” she added.
Hubert also criticized Smith’s wife for asking other black actors and
actresses to “jeopardize their career and their standing,” especially
after the Pinkett-Smith family built their entire fortune in Hollywood.
