It is no news that the 2016 academy awards is faced with controversies after they failed to nominate any black person in the various categories at this years Oscars. Jada Pinkett Smith, wife of Will smith who was one of the big snubs at this years Oscar Award slammed the award body and threatened to boycott. She got a lot of accolades for her comments but a former alldy is not happy.
Janet Hubert slammed the couple and even went as far as asking if Will does not have a mouth of his own. All those years on the popular show did not make her go easy. She her reaction below;
“The second thing, girlfriend, there’s a lot of sh*t going on in the world that you all don’t seem to recognise. People are dying. Our boys are being shot left and right. People are starving. People are trying to pay bills. And you’re talking about some motherf**king actors and Oscars. It just ain’t that deep.”
"And here's the other thing, for you to ask other actors, and other black actresses and actors, too, to jeopardize their career and their standing in a town that you know damn well you don't do that. And here's the other thing—they don't care. They don't care! And I find it ironic that somebody who has made their living, made their living and made millions and millions of dollars from the very people you're talking about boycotting just because you didn't get a nomination, just because you didn't win.
"Well karma must be a bitch, cause now here you are. Here you are, you've had a few flops and you know there are those out there who really deserved a nod,"
I didn’t think, frankly, you deserved a Golden Globes nomination with that accent, but you got one. And just because the world doesn’t go the way you want it to go, doesn’t mean you can go out and start asking people to stand up and singWe Shall Overcome for you."You ain't Barack and Michelle Obama. And y'all need to get over yourselves".
"You have a huge production company that you only produce your friends and family and yourself. So you are a part of Hollywood, you are part of the system that is unfair to other actors. So get real."
