Alfonso Ribeiro Says First Aunt Viv, Janet Hubert Was Crazy! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

At a SUNY Oneonta talk a few years ago, Alfonso Ribeiro told his own version.”She went nuts!” he recalled. “She would literally go off on people, and it got to the point by the time the second season came around that we were like, ‘This is unacceptable.’”

Bless her heart. I hope she is doing better now. It's too bad she could not keep some of that spark under control. If she did, maybe she would have went on to do more seasons. I know there is a lot of stories on both sides but I'll leave it alone for now.

Well, at least someone other than Will Smith has spoken out about the matter. (James Avery got along with Ms. Hubert, I've read, and I have no idea about the rest of the cast.) It's funny - I always thought Ms. Hubert was the best Aunt Viv, while my sister preferred Daphne Maxwell Reid in the role. To each his/her own, I guess!!
