Former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actress, Janet Hubert, known to fans as "The real Aunt Viv," isn't here for Jada Pinkett Smith's solidarity movement in boycotting the Oscars. As Jada's video post calling for actors and actresses of color to boycott the Academy Awards went viral, Hubert decided to address some hypocrisy in her own attempt. Hubert, who co-starred alongside Will Smith from 1990-1993, believes Jada is only taking a stance against the Academy Awards this year because her husband wasn't nominated for Concussion and not for actors -like Idris Elba- who deserved a nod.
"Maybe [Will] didn't deserve a nomination," she said. "I frankly didn't think you deserved a Golden Globe nomination with that accent, but you got one. Just because the world doesn't go the way you wanted it to go doesn't mean you can go out and then start asking people to start singing 'We Shall Overcome' for you."
Hubert pointed out that the couple were apart of the elite in Hollywood, while owning their own production company, they would only support those close to them, "your friends, your family, and yourselves. You are a part of Hollywood, you are a part of the system that is unfair to other actors, so get real."
