WILL SMITH Discusses JANET HUBERT on the RED TABLE TALK

[Doobie Doo]

Watching now

 

[King]

Janet really has that mom vibe about her. The way she talked and forgave Will reminded me of my own mom. Very powerful woman who deserved more, Will really killed her career. And he helped set the precedent that fukked over a lot dark skin actresses from getting roles.


Damn

Damn

I sort of agree. I feel she played a part in her demise by being openly bitter about the situation. I do think she could have gotten more work not playing into the stereotypes.

I get that, also consider tho that at the end of the day she was done wrong and didn’t play into the Hollywood bs.

Confidence and integrity is only really an issue in the business when it comes from a strong black woman. Will could have worked with her and she could have built up her career and paved a blueprint for that type of character.

But yeah we’re way past that now sadly.

Just saw someone post “ another example of black women not being protected by black men”.

 

[KOohbt]

The fact that nobody likes/cares about new aunt viv and EVERYBODY loved old aunt viv is telling. Should have never gotten rid of her she was phenomenal on the show.

Janet's story

Will's domestic situation

She could have gotten a few Tyler Perry movies being humble.

I always felt her being the real Aunt Viv is enough to get something. This is a top sitcom of all time
