Pretty much. Fresh Prince wasn't an ensemble cast. It was Will, then to a lesser extent Carlton and Uncle phil. She was looking at it like she was an equal star.

In her interviews she brings up 2 instances. Asically which she didn't like. When negotiations came up, Will wouldn't advocate a raise for everybody else. And the other is that Will would tell jokes to the audience before the show and he would say "your so black etc" jokes

Here's the quote

Hubert's video message continued yesterday: "I seem to recall, twenty-maybe-six, -seven years go—25, whatever it was—I don't even remember. I seem to remember at option time coming to you and saying, 'You know what, Will? You're the star of the show. Why don't we all get together and, with you, maybe we could get a little raise? Maybe the network since the show is, you know, such a hit and you being the star of the show, your influence would help us greatly, like they did on Friends. Like white shows do!' Remember that? Do you remember that, 'cause I do. Mmm.

"And your response to me was, 'My deal is my deal and y'all's deal is y'all's deal. Well karma must be a ***** because now here you are."

That doesnt make sense because friends started in 94 and Janet Hubert (the first Aunt Viv) was kicked off Fresh Prince in '93. So wtf is she talkin bout?

This Friends was the first to use that tactic and it was long after FPOBA, not mention FPOBA was/is not pulling Friends numbers.

Can't believe this show premiered 27 years ago now :x :lol:

Will Smith is currently older in real life than Uncle Phil (James Avery) was the first three seasons of the show
Tatyana Ali (Ashley) is currently older in real life than OG Aunt Viv was during her entire run on the show

This can't be right. Is this right?

Ali is like 30 something now. Aunt Viv was younger than that that for the seasons she was on the show?

Yup. sounds off to me. Aunt viv was cleary 40+ on the show. Very rare you see a 30 something having a child in their 20s (Hillary). Tatyana Ali is 38.

lol aunt viv was not 40 plus on the show she was 34

actors and actresses dont have to be the same age they play on tv

will smith was playing a 15 year old when he was 22

Aunt Viv mad because ya'll in here still calling her Aunt Viv, no decency in knowing her damn name, like when French Montana kept calling Pam from Martin, Pam when he was beefing with her.

I get that but if she was 34, now your implying that Aunt Viv was a teenage mother. There was an episode when they spoke about college and Hillary wasnt born at that time (when Phil and Viv had afros).

What the hell was the white chick doing ? She got me dying :lol: [emoji]128514[/emoji]
 
They definitely shouldn't have gotten Will money, but he could've put the bug in the producers ears about a raise for them. SMH if son really cowered to his shell on some "you'se quiet before massa hear us" ****.

She still needs to move on though.

She was 34 when the show started and yes she always looked like a 40+ mom.
Born in 56, Fresh Prince started in 1990.

She was obviously much older than her character. She was always in close proximity of the age of her husband. Who clearly wasn't in his 30s :lol:
 
Why are you boys debating aunt viv's (the fictional character) age? The show doesn't have to make sense, baby nicky was born in one episode and then started the 3rd grade in the next episode.

Reading the quote I didn't get that.

It was more like **** yall, I'm about mine go see about yours.

It was pretty coldblooded :lol: Will didn't seem scared about losing money or getting in trouble with his bosses.
 
On top of that, was Will hurtin for cash and on the brink of filing bankruptcy or something like that early in the series? Son tryna secure the bag and get out of debt, meanwhile shorty upset he aint wanna risk it.
