The Royal Family
Eddie Murphy wrote The Royal Family due to Foxx, Reese and Pryor playing the dozens on each other. It all started over an orange and Reese checked Foxx and Pryor jumped in and told Foxx don’t let a woman talk to you like that and Reese cursed Pryor out kind of similar to Harlem Nights. Reese didn’t mind the back and forth because they were all friends and they could do that to one another.

Major tension between Foxx and White producers, Shelley Jensen, David Garber & Mark McClafferty.
One of the producers was racists, not sure who created major drama for Fox. He would tell Redd Foxx how to be funny and how his best friends were black
One day, Entertainment Tonight did an interview with Foxx on set. One producer got mad, pulled him out of the interview to do one rehearsal walk. Foxx got so upset, he fell. Everyone thought it was a prank and asked Reese to get his wife and call the paramedics
The doctors announced Foxx death to his wife in the lobby and the producers were disrespectful while Mrs. Foxx was weeping and Della Reese went off on them and left the hospital
Reese said Jackée Harry was added to the cast as Victoria's younger sister Ruth, who moved in to help the family cope with Al's sudden death.
Moesha
Former Moesha co-stars Brandy and Countess Vaughn have made amends after nearly two decades. In the April 1998 issue of VIBE, Brandy revealed in her cover story that she and Vaughn were not as close as their fictional characters Moesha and Kim would have one believe. The singer/actress revealed that Vaughn spewed some heated words her way.
“I think she’s very funny, very talented,” Brandy said. “I just feel like she wants to be in the position I’m in. People tell her, ‘You’re the reason why the show’s successful.’ And she’s told me that before. And she’s called me a b***h–to my face. She said, ‘I’m the reason why the show is successful, b***h.’ In front of a lot of people. And I looked at her like, Wow. I couldn’t say nothing about her because I wasn’t about to. She knows. She wakes up and looks at herself in the mirror and gets disgusted. I don’t."
Rumor was it over Ginuwine and Usher
In 2016, Brandy And Countess Vaughn made amends after nearly 20 years
A Different World
The series originally centered on Denise Huxtable, from the Cosby Show and the life of students at Hillman College, a fictional historically Black college in Virginia. It was inspired by student life at Hampton University, Spelman College, and Howard University.
Lisa Bonet got married to Lenny with Zoe and she confided to Mrs. Allen about her pregnancy. Cosby was very protective over Bonet. Allen wanted to user her pregnancy on the show, ADW and Cosby thought it was taboo for an unwed, pregnant upper middle class Black woman in college
She liked the White character, the only White woman who went to a HBCU and they could pitching ideas about the other side of discrimination and Cosby said nah
Debbie felt because it was an HBCU it was buffoonery for students on the show take care of an eggThere needed to be more flavor, Cree Summer, Charnelle Brown, the BGLO, the gangs, the apartheid, sex, real life issues
Debbie Allen discusses "A Different World" dealing with sensitive subject matter - Clinton VS Bush, AIDS, Colorism, Domestic Violence, Persian Gulf War, Date Rape, Rodney King Uprising/ LA Riots.
She spilled the tea how White producers were pressed about the Rosanne looting in that episode. Allen said there were White looters not just Black and Latinos
