Most TV moms only have glowing memories about the time spent with their TV families. But Janet Hubert, who played the original Aunt Viv on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" is speaking out to “omg! Insider” correspondent Michael Yo in a candid and emotional interview about being fired by Will Smith, and being replaced by actress Daphne Reid.

She told Michael, “He said 'we're just gonna replace her and act like nothing happen.' Well honey, that is not what happened is it? The world has let me know that my place on that show was very, very, very loved and I'm sorry I'm getting emotional because I felt demonized and beaten up and crucified for so many years. No one came forward in my defense. No one.”

Check out this vid to see what else the original “Fresh Prince” mom had to say about her co-star and for more of the latest entertainment news, tune in to “omg! Insider” on TV tonight!

Not to sound mean, but I just wish she'd shut up about this whole thing already, because she's repeated it a bazillion times. Please, get over it and move on.

Plus, people weren't watching the show for Aunt Viv. They watched for Will, Carlton, Uncle Phil and Geoffrey the butler.

Again, just my opinion...

She's maintained a grudge for decades and will clearly never get over it. She felt Will was becoming "big time" and full of himself. I believe she even said before that this punk gets a TV show just like that and I've been acting many years before him.

And her assertions that Will Smith never stood by the cast during contract negotiations doesn't seem to gel with the fact that the rest of the cast seem perfectly cool with Will and always look happy when they all get together.
