'Fresh Prince' Actress Slams Jada Pinkett Smith's Oscars Boycott With Video RantJanet Hubert, who played the first Aunt Viv, posted a video on Martin Luther King Jr. Day addressing the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, and Pinkett Smith's public decision to boycott the show.Janet Hubert is the latest celebrity to speak out about the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, but she is aiming her thoughts at two people in particular: Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith.
She apparently is still sore for not winning an oscar for her voice in Madagascar 3 back in 2012.
Referring to Pinkett Smith as "Miss Thing," Hubert opened her video by asking "Does your man not have a mouth of his own with which to speak?" before launching into her thoughts on the controversy that has drawn so much attention.
No! She's had his balls in a jar for years. before launching into her thoughts on the controversy that has drawn so much attention (it even prompted the Academy to release a rare statement on Monday.)
"I find it ironic that somebody who has made their living and has made millions and millions of dollars from the very people that you’re talking about boycotting just because you didn’t get a nomination, just because you didn’t win?" said Hubert. "That’s not the way life works, baby."

She continued, "You ain't Barack and Michelle Obama. And y'all need to get over yourselves. You have a huge production company that you only produce your friends and family and yourself. So you are a part of Hollywood, you are part of the system that is unfair to other actors. So get real."
Hubert then recalled how, when they were filming Fresh Prince years ago, she approached then-star Smith about banding together to ask the network for a cast-wide raise like the "white shows" did -- like Friends. "Your response to me was 'My deal is my deal. And your deal is your deal,' " she said.
Spoken like the true ghetto slut that she is!
She ended the post by saying, "You know some of us have got mortgages to pay, we got bills to pay, we have bigger shit to worry about than the Oscars."
Pinkett Smith isn't the only one in Hollywood to speak out in protest against this year's nominations. Filmmaker Spike Lee,Who dresses like the boy from peter pan that never wants to grow up, was awarded an honorary Oscar at the Governors Awards in November, on the down low to protect the narrative,said that while he appreciated that recognition, he and his wife [url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/spike-lee-wont-attend-oscars-856676]"cannot support" this year's Academy Awards.[/url] Al Sharpton, Straight Outta Compton executive producerWill Packer, and Chris Rock, who is set to host the Feb. 28 show, were all quick to call out the lack of diversity after Thursday's announcements.
On Monday, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, issued a lengthy statement on the subject, saying she was both "heartbroken" and "frustrated" and promised complete manipulation and brainwashing and hypnosis over the fans to get them to like retarded black actors that act in horrible films going forward. "The Academy is taking dramatic steps to alter the makeup of our membership," she said in the statement. "In the coming days and weeks we will conduct a review of our membership recruitment in order to bring about much-needed diversity in our 2016 class and beyond."
