News Flash: Aunt Vivian (the REAL Aunt Vivian, actress Janet Hubert) from The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air gives no fucks. And she also has no love for Will Smith and his wife, Jada. Zero. Nada. NONE.
Yesterday, Hubert made a Facebook video to air her grievances with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith after they suggested a possible boycott of the Oscars since no black actors or actresses were nominated this year. Not only is Hubert totally opposed to the boycott, she dropped a truthbomb on Smith about how she really felt about his acting in Concussion.
“First of all, Miss Thing, does your man not have a mouth of his own with which to speak? Second thing is, girlfriend, there’s a lot of shit going on in the world that you all don’t seem to recognize. People are dying, our boys are being shot left and right, people are hungry, people are trying to pay bills, and you’re talking about some motherfucking actors and Oscars. It just ain’t that deep.”
“Maybe you didn’t deserve a nomination. 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. You ain’t Barack and Michelle Obama, and you need to get over yourselves.”
I think Janet Hubert might be my new favorite person on planet Earth. Partially because of this rant against the Smiths and partially because we eat our hot dogs with the same fixin’s.
