Is Janet Hubert OK?

Yes people will do you wrong and you must fight for truth no matter how long, and IF you can get the TRUTH you seek...find love again as we have.”
She added, “Life is too short as I am in hospital as I write this to all of you. Holding onto anger will eat you alive. But truth at any cost.” Janet continued, “Reputation is PRICELESS.

What was Janet Hubert and Will Smith’s feud all about?
Janet Hubert was always open about her issues with Will Smith before they finally resolved their feud. She had left the show back in the day over her having a problem with the Hollywood star. She had accused Will of getting her fired from the sitcom but the latter insisted that the real problem was that Janet wanted the show to be built around her character, Aunt Viv.
In an interview with an Atlanta radio station in 1993, Will Smith had publicly attacked her by saying, “She’s mad now, but she’s been mad all along. She said once, ‘I’ve been in the business for ten years and this snotty-nosed punk comes along and gets a show.’ No matter what, to her, I’m just the Antichrist", as reported by The Sun. The two then sat for the reunion episode and spoke their heart out with only love for each other. Janet asked, “I just wanted to know one thing–why did you guys go so far? I lost so much…You have no idea” to which Will confessed to being insensitive. He said that he understood how he “made the set very difficult.”
