Janet Hubert returned to “the scene of the crime” last week when she appeared on Atlanta’s V-103 radio station, the place where she says her decades-long feud with Will Smith began.
Hubert played the original Vivian Banks alongside Smith in the hit 1990s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air before departing the show in 1993 after three seasons, citing “creative differences.” Daphne Maxwell Reid then took over the character.
