friction on the set of fresh prints an outpouring of anger who called him a narcissistic madman these are the stars who have some beef with will smith janet hubert played antv on the fresh prince of bel air for three seasons before her ongoing beef with co-star will smith led to her being replaced in 1993. she told half post black voices nearly two decades later my departure was planned for a long time there will never be a reunion of the fresh prince will smith and alfonso ribeiro destroyed a 20-year career with untruths i got slammed we'll
apologize later in an essence magazine article but it still lingers it's still there what could have caused such animosity between these two hubert has long claimed that smith declined to help her convince nbc to issue a pay raise amid contract negotiations meanwhile rumors that she was difficult to work with spurred on by her above mentioned former co-star's public comments derailed her career after years of sparring in the media 2020 saw hubert and smith settle the feud during the series hbo max reunion special despite the former previously stating she would never attend while it seems that
her conflict with smith was only one of the many reasons why hubert left she told him that she quote lost everything because i had been banished and they said it was you who who banished me smith publicly apologized to hubert and luckily for longtime fans they've since remained on good terms with hubert even defending smith's behavior at the 2022 oscars chris rock's g.i jane joke about jada pinkett smith obviously did not go over well with will smith but it turns out this wasn't the first time there may have been tension between rock and the smiths
when the comedian hosted the academy awards in 2016 he poked fun at jada's decision to boycott the ceremony quipping jada boycotting the oscars is like knee boycotting rihanna's panties i wasn't invited although the smith family didn't publicly speak out against the joke all parties seemed to be on good terms at the time this really doesn't have anything to do with you you kind of drifted into a no-fly zone while rock likely had no real beef with will prior to the slap here's where the comic stood in the aftermath per npr rock declined to file charges
with the lapd breaking his silence on the matter during a stand-up routine in boston days later he said be a variety i'm still kind of processing what happened so at some point i'll talk about that and it will be serious and funny while we're all hoping there's a chance for a reconciliation a source cited by hollywoodlife claimed that the ordeal was still raw emotional and confusing for rock will smith slapping chris rock at the 2022 oscars was arguably the most controversial moment of his career considering his subsequent apology we imagine even will might agree that
the shocking slap probably wasn't the best way to solve the conflict judd apatow was among those who called out will's controversial behavior although some think he took it too far apatow wrote in one sense deleted tweet he could have killed him that's pure out of control rage and violence after receiving pushback in the twitter sphere the director clarified a statement on siriusxm's pop culture spotlight with jessica shaw he admitted that he wasn't actually watching the oscars when he took to twitter but was instead informed of the incident while on the phone with a friend he's
also stood by his statements about smith and other interviews as soon as that line is crossed really anything can happen that's what happened but something else could have happened apatel also told pop culture spotlight with jessica shaw i just think there certainly is a way of handling dissatisfaction which should never tell people that the solution is to break that barrier and leap on the stage and commit an act of violence in front of people who are inspired by you well i had a whole show plan but i gotta throw that out because i want to
vent about this uh oscar thing that occurred true to form howard stern took to a serious xm radio show to share his opinion on will smith's oscars controversy in march 2022 and the blunt radio show host did not hold back saying this is a sign of great mental illness when you can't control your impulse not only that it was hardly an insulting joke it was not even a good joke it may be safe to say that stern wasn't too fond of smith after the headline-making incident because he even compared the king richard actor to former
u.s president donald trump stern also criticized the academy's handling of the situation including the lack of security taking action for context while there have been mixed reports on whether or not smith had been asked to leave the ceremony following this lap her variety the star still went on to accept the best actor award mere moments later and the shock jock didn't feel that there was much to look into after the academy announced a formal investigation into the matter given how the entire incident was broadcasted live on tv and immediately went viral on social media will
smith assaulted another human being and you guys did nothing kathy griffin was not afraid to call will smith out for his actions at the 2022 oscars after the incident she tweeted let me tell you something it's a very bad practice to walk up on stage and physically assault a comedian now we all have to worry about who wants to be the next will smith in comedy clubs and theaters it was perhaps unsurprising that griffin who has been known to push the boundaries of comedy herself had concerns about the safety of stand-up comics after seeing chris
rocket slapped over a joke and this star knows a thing or two about controversial comedy you may recall that she received a great deal of backlash after sharing a gruesome image of them president donald trump social media firestorm is breaking out right now over a tweet by comedian kathy griffin about president donald trump unfortunately for griffin the consequences of this action likely far surpassed anything smith might have faced for slapping rock on live tv according to the new york times griffin and her team had to meet with the secret service and department of justice as
a result of the shocking pick and considering charging me with the crime this is real of a conspiracy to assassinate the president of the united states so given her own past controversies her twitter statement led to some pushback of its own but it's clear where she stands on the will smith issue not unlike howard stern's critical take rosie o'donnell had a problem not only with will smith but also with the academy for its handling of the fresh prince of bel-air alums attack on chris rock clearly o'donnell was siding firmly on team rock logging into twitter
to share her concerns with the world she didn't exactly go easy on smith writing so upsetting on every level bravo to chris rock for not eviscerating will smith which he could do any day of the week he walked away bravo from a sad display of toxic masculinity from a narcissistic madman in addition to making it clear that she believed rock could demolish smith in a battle of the comedic minds o'donnell further questioned the academy's initial response to the entire situation in a separate tweet written in response to a statement released by the organization about not
condoning violence she asked then why did you do nothing o'donnell didn't stop there she also retweeted messages from her peers who didn't agree with smith's actions just days after the 2022 oscars jim carrey announced his plans to retire from acting i have enough i've done enough i am enough however he still made sure to let the public know that he didn't support will smith's act of violence prior to his final farewell from hollywood jim carrey doesn't always get involved in controversies but he certainly had something to say about this one he let it be known
that on top of condemning smith's actions he was also disturbed by the audience's reaction to smith-winning best actor shortly after i was sickened i was sickened by the standing ovation i felt like hollywood is just spineless on mass kerry went on to explain how he felt that smith's anger was completely unexpected and uncalled for noting you do not have the right to walk up on stage and smack somebody in the face because they said words cara even took a moment to detail what he would have done if he were in rock shoes i'd have announced
this morning that i was suing will for 200 million dollars because that video is gonna be there forever luckily for smith's bank account carrie was not actually involved in the incident still although he obviously wasn't the one who took the literal and figurative hit it seems carrie is not on the best of terms with smith following the oscars incident it is perhaps no surprise that chris rock's brother fellow comedian tony rock came to his siblings defense the shade room reported that vocalizing his frustrations during a stand-up show in the days after the 2022 oscars tony
said if you think you're going to walk up on the stage this ain't the oscars and if you walk up here you ain't nominated for but these mother hands as the crowd cheered the seemingly fired up comic on he decided to take a direct dig at will smith and jada pinkett smith adding i didn't want to start the show like that you gonna hit my mother brother tony also made his beef with the fresh prince of bel air star clear on twitter when asked if he accepted the actor's apology the day after the academy awards
