Fresh Prince actress Janet Hubert hits out at cast’s reunion selfie: ‘I have no interest in these people’
Former Fresh Prince of Bel Air star Janet Hubert has hit out at the cast’s recent reunion selfie, insisting that she has ‘no interest’ in seeing them again.
The actress, who played the original Aunt Viv in the hit 1990s show, slammed her former co-stars in a lengthy Facebook rant, which has since been deleted.
“I know the media h** Alfonso Ribeiro has posted his so called reunion photo,” she wrote on her public profile.
“Folks keep telling me about it. He was always the a**wipe for Will. There will never be a true reunion of the Fresh Prince. I have no interest in seeing any of these people on that kind of level.”
Hubert went on to say that she was ‘not offended in the least’ by the snap, but said that it had prompted her to set up ‘meetings’.
“It does however prompt me to take some meetings in Hollywood to pitch my memoir PERFECTION IS NOT A SITCOM MOM and tell of the behind the scenes story before I leave this earth,” she wrote.
Hubert stared as Aunt Viv on the hit US sitcom between 1989 and 1993 but left the show following a series of disagreements with creator and star Will Smith.
She was replaced by actress Daphne Maxwell Reid who remained on the show until is wrapped in 1996.
The mini-reunion was organised by actress Karyn Parsons, who played Hilary Banks, in aid of her charity.
Ribeiro posted the snap to his Instagram page, which read: “Always amazing to spend an afternoon with my Fresh Prince family. Wishing that James Avery was still with us to make this complete.”
