I understand that bill and lisa had alot of problems together behind the set of The Cosby Show but do you think the reason she was fired from A Diff'rent World was because bill cosby could not stand her ???

Lisa got her walking papers because she did a nude scene in 1987's Angel Heart. Nudity didn't fit the image of the show. But, she got to come back so I guess Bill got over it.

That wasn't the reason why she was let go. Lisa was pregnant. That is why. She left to have her baby and it was decided that she could come back afterwards. It was then decided to have her come back to "Cosby". ADW had successfully taken a different direction by then.

Lisa Bonet never really made much of an impression on me as a performer because of her rather sleepy acting style. I just don't think that she was strong enough of an actress to carry/anchor a show.

Yup!

I thought it was always known that this was the reason.

I wonder how pissed off Bill Cosby was when he saw her having hard core sex with the guy that looks like Bruce Willis in the 1987 film Angel Heart, you wont think of Lisa Bonet the same way when you watch The Cosby Show after you watch that film shocking lol.

No those are rumors. I've researched everything and I've actually seen an interview with Lisa Bonet from 1987 in which she said that Bill Cosby was perfectly okay with her doing the movie. I've also seen a magazine article. And according to the magazine (because magazines aren't always true), Cosby himself he was okay with her doing the movie and he didn't even see the movie (at least in 1987).
