Summary
- Will Smith and Janet Hubert have reconciled after a 30-year feud
- Hubert says their relationship is "so good" now, credits Smith for supporting her
- Both have expressed regret for not resolving issues sooner
In a heartwarming turn of events, former "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" co-stars Will Smith and Janet Hubert have reconciled after a nearly 30-year feud. Hubert, who played the original Aunt Viv on the hit sitcom, recently shared that their relationship is now "so good" during an interview on Atlanta's V-103 radio station.
The two actors had a well-documented falling out in the early 1990s, leading to Hubert's departure from the show in 1993. However, they later buried the hatchet during the show's HBO Max reunion special in 2020. Now, Hubert reveals that Smith has even created a website to help promote her independent animated feature, JG and the BC Kids, showcasing their renewed camaraderie.
Both Hubert and Smith have expressed regret over the prolonged feud, with Smith acknowledging in a 2024 interview that he "made a horrible error and misjudgment" in his treatment of Hubert during their time on "Fresh Prince." Hubert, for her part, believes that had they been able to communicate openly back then, the rift may have never occurred.
As the two industry veterans move forward, their heartwarming reconciliation serves as a testament to the power of forgiveness and the ability to mend even the most fractured of relationships.
