SERIOUSLY?! Alfonso Ribeiro SPEAKS OUT About Original Aunt Viv And SAYS "That B*TCH Was Crazy!"

Who knew that Alfonso Ribeiro was so funny? During a recent stand-up routine, the actor lets actress Janet Hubert (the first Aunt Viv) have it! He calls her a few choice words and questions her sanity.....deets inside.....

During a pretty funny comedy routine, Alfonso Ribeiro reveals that early in his career, he was up for a role on "A Different World" but later chose to shoot "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" pilot.

The rest, as they say, was history......but he added season one was a mess because of the first Aunt Viv.  Basically he said,

"That b*tch was crazy."

He said that Janet made the set a very hostile environment and would often just "go off" on people.  He also called her "Coo Coo."

But once she was fired......they returned to being one big happy tv family.  Sounds like Will may not be the culprit afterall....

 

Watch Alfonso talk about Janet at the 2:25 mark:

He was there so why not give

He was there so why not give his take on it. He's not saying she wasn't a great actress, he even said she was funny. However hard to work with. She was kept on even though she was pregnant so that had nothing to do with it. Some people no matter how great they are as an actress or actor just dont know how to work well with others. She may have became difficult to work with. Thinking that she's been in the business longer and how dear she have to play second to will smith who at that time was a new comer. But she had to realize the show was made for will and not her. After all the show was called Fresh prince. Just saying.....Alfonzo just kept it real. I for one believe his accounts, and also believe she was the better actress as playing the mom and much funnier.

Hmmmm!!! He should have taken the high road, instead of taking sides and been more diplomatic about it. I liked the old aunt Viv. Nothing against Daphne, but I could not get into it when she was on. I thought the old aunt Vivian was beautiful!!!! Hopefully she will let go and put it in her past.

The first mom was better for the role. Didn't think the new mom was good at all. You have to remember the first mom was also pregnant at the time. That could have a little something to do with it.

OK, so how is he any different that her? Why is it okay for him to talk about her and she not being able to voice her opinion about who she wants to voice her opinion. At the end of the day, it is he said she said. Hell, everyone has a little bit of crazy in them if you back them up against the wall... TRUST!

Yep That is a good point.

Yep That is a good point. He is siding with one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. Surprise, surprise. I wonder if he ever considered that maybe there was some real tension between Will and Janet and since Will was the star he had all the power and she might have gotten shorted. There could be a really good reason for her to be "B**chy"

Janet Hubert is no doubt a talented actress! Will and the rest of the cast was more of the play type on set while Janet wanted to take things serious at all times! She rarely wanted to have fun. I know this because I was a PA on the set!

Watched "Life After". She seemed to be arrogant about her vast Broadway skills. I never heard of her before FP and not again after. She seems to think higher of herself than others do. Angry because others achieved more in Hollywood than she.

n an interview last year with

n an interview last year with BlackAmericaWeb, Hubert said that Smith was abusive and arrogant and made racial jokes to the audience. "I was a dark-skinned, African-American mother, and Will used to tell the you're-so-black jokes to the audience before the show, and at one point, I came out and stopped him, and the audience went 'Woooo,'" she remembered. "He didn't understand how unbelievably disrespectful that was to women like me... 'Yo mama's so black, when she looks at her shoes, she thinks she's looking in the mirror. Ha, ha!'"

I think the original Aunt Viv

I think the original Aunt Viv thought she was supposed to be the star of that show when it was designed specially around Will Smith. Jeffrey the butler was just as dark as she is and he has nothing but nice things to say about the cast. Hubert needs to grow up and stop holding onto to grudges because if she was so talented she would have made it doing something else she is trying her level best to sell a book that nobody cares about.

He is American born and raised in New York city but his parents are from Trinidad/Tobago. My people come from there and we also have a Portuguese surname left over from slavery times. Carlton was my favorite character from the show and I would love to see a reunion of the old gang.
