Will Smith Actor -

Avalon / Starface

It took 27 years for Will Smith and Janet Hubert to reconcile.

During the meeting of the Prince of Bel-Air, organized this Wednesday on HBO Max, the actor wanted to invite the one who played Aunt Viv during the first three seasons of the cult series.

Replaced by Daphne Maxwell Reid at the start of season 4, she then held a grudge against Will Smith, who had become a superstar while her career had suffered from rumors that she was a "difficult" actress.

For the 30 years of the program, it was time, according to the husband of Jada Pinkett Smith, to burst the abscess.

And Janet Hubert was able to tell her everything she had on her heart.

“It was difficult.

I just wanted to know one thing: why did you go so far?

I lost so much… You can't imagine.

I understand that you were able to move forward despite all that, but to say of a black woman in Hollywood that she is difficult is the kiss of death.

And it's hard enough to be a black woman, who has very dark skin, in this industry, ”she said.

Janet Hubert also added that she had not been fired from the series but had refused an offer deemed insulting to return in season 4.

The person who protects

Will Smith, clearly moved by the situation of his colleague (whom he has however widely abused in the media over the years), then apologized to him.

“I didn't know all of this.

When I look at everything that happened, it's obvious you were having a hard time, and I felt like you hated me.

But I couldn't organize the 30 years of the series without celebrating your contribution to the program, and celebrating your contribution to my life.

I would have liked to be the person who protects you, not the one who unleashes the dogs against you ”, he admitted.
