...The actress Janet Hubert who played 'Aunt Viv' in The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air criticised the star and his wife Jada-Pinkett Smith for their boycotting the Oscars because of the Academy's failure to nominate black actors.
Hubert played Viv for three seasons before she was replaced (a bit like Pippa in Home & Away #neverforget) by another actress. So, in some ways this could be coming from a bitter memory.
However, she says that Will and his wife have just become part of the system.
“You are a part of Hollywood. You are a part of the system that is unfair to other actors.”
"You ain't Barack and Michelle Obama, and you need to get over yourselves".
Does she have a point?

The Smiths.
