The original Aunt Vivian on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” says Will Smith is a royal pain — so she'll never join a reunion for the hit sitcom.
Actress Janet Hubert told TMZ.com that she missed a recent reunion dinner because she still blames Smith for her ouster from the 1990s NBC show.
"There will never be a reunion ... as I will never do anything with an a------ like Will Smith," Hubert told TMZ.
"He is still an egomaniac and has not grown up. This constant reunion thing will never ever happen in my lifetime unless there is an apology, which he doesn't know the word."
Hubert, 55, has blamed Smith for her firing before. She even sued the star and NBC, contending Smith created a hostile work environment after she became pregnant.
The show, which launched Smith's multimillion-dollar movie career, followed the life of a streetwise Philadelphia teen sent to live with his rich Aunt Viv and Uncle Phil in California.
Hubert's pregnancy was written into the show.
Smith, 43, previously defended himself against Hubert's claims, saying it was her ego that led to her replacement by actress Daphne Reid halfway through the show's six-season run.
"I can say straight up that Janet Hubert wanted the show to be 'The Aunt Viv of Bel-Air Show,'" he told an Atlanta radio station after she was cut.
"She has basically gone from a quarter of a million dollars a year to nothing. She's mad now, but she's been mad all along. She said once, 'I've been in the business for 10 years and this snotty-nosed punk comes along and gets a show.' No matter what, to her I'm just the Anti-Christ," he told the station.
