In a recent interview, Will Smith opened up about his regrets regarding the long-standing feud with Janet Hubert, his co-star from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The two had a troubled relationship during the early years of the show, mainly due to differences over the direction of their characters, leading to Hubert’s departure after three seasons. She was replaced by Daphne Maxwell Reid in 1993.

Will Smith admitted that he made a “horrible error” by underestimating Hubert’s role in the show and her significance in his life at that time. “I horribly underestimated what she was for me at that point in my life,” Smith said in an emotional interview for Vice’s Black Comedy in America series.

Before their reconciliation, Smith had publicly discussed the tension, claiming that Hubert wanted the show to revolve around her character, which caused some disagreements. Their feud led to harsh words from both sides over the years. However, in 2020, the two stars were able to make amends during a special reunion for the show’s 30th anniversary.
Hubert later expressed that she had forgiven Smith and understood his youthful mistakes. In an interview, she mentioned that if they had been able to talk openly back then, things would have turned out differently. Today, they are on good terms, often texting each other, and have moved past the drama of their earlier years.
The two actors’ heartfelt reconciliation has been a reminder of the importance of communication and forgiveness, especially when misunderstandings lead to long-lasting tension.
