Members Mr. Vixen Posted December 27, 2011 Members Share Posted December 27, 2011 They could always do a reunion with the second aunt vivian. I liked her just as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 27, 2011 Members Share Posted December 27, 2011 Seriously, her ass was replaced and no one cared. This show wasn't about her, it was a vehicle for Will Smith, as long as he was there, everyone else was replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted December 27, 2011 Members Share Posted December 27, 2011 +1. No one was that outraged by her being fired from the show. No one is going to care if they do a reunion without her either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I do know people who lost interest after she was replaced, although obviously it didn't hurt ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 This is nothing new. There's always been beef between the two. I only wish she had gotten over it by now thats true. People DID notice and didnt like the replacement. Ultimately it didnt matter bc she wasnt the star, but for what its worth, I preferred the original Vivian. The second one was too bland and vanilla and didnt seem to have much personality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 From an old Jet article I read, Will basically said that she wanted to be the star and felt entitled because she had been in the business longer. She's just a difficult person to work with, you've barely seen her anywhere since Fresh Prince of Bel Air and that's likely her own fault. The writers really watered down the character when Daphne Maxwell Reid was brought in, but if there was a reunion, her appearance would be fine.

Members alphanguy74 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I wonder what the details of the situation were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Essentially what the What I've read is that she caused a lot of tension on the set and was going off on people, so they wanted to reduce her episodes for the fourth season, but she declined and they let her go. Alfonso Ribeiro flat out called her crazy, so I'm assuming she was really flipping out on set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I posted some links about this in an old OLTL thread when JH was guest starring as Evangeline and Layla's mother. Can't find the thread but here are some of the videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-hP_qkbD7U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 No but really, she seems like a nutjob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 I loved her work on AMC. I wish she did more. I guess they are probably both right, and both wrong, but I'd rather see her than more of Will Smith smirking, which I've already seen for about 20 years.
