6. A Tale of Two Vivs

“Vivian Banks/Aunt Viv” might have had a soft spot for her nephew in the show, but this was not the case in real life. The public was told that Janet Hubert, who played the character from 1990 to 1993, became pregnant, effectively breaking her contract. However, in her book Perfection Is Not A Sitcom Mum however, Hubert tells a different tale. She alleged that she was not only fired by Smith, but that he had played the role of saboteur for her career and others. Daphne Reid portrayed Vivian after Hubert’s departure.
