Pretty much. Fresh Prince wasn't an ensemble cast. It was Will, then to a lesser extent Carlton and Uncle phil. She was looking at it like she was an equal star.
In her interviews she brings up 2 instances. Asically which she didn't like. When negotiations came up, Will wouldn't advocate a raise for everybody else. And the other is that Will would tell jokes to the audience before the show and he would say "your so black etc" jokes
Here's the quote
Hubert's video message continued yesterday: "I seem to recall, twenty-maybe-six, -seven years go—25, whatever it was—I don't even remember. I seem to remember at option time coming to you and saying, 'You know what, Will? You're the star of the show. Why don't we all get together and, with you, maybe we could get a little raise? Maybe the network since the show is, you know, such a hit and you being the star of the show, your influence would help us greatly, like they did on Friends. Like white shows do!' Remember that? Do you remember that, 'cause I do. Mmm.
"And your response to me was, 'My deal is my deal and y'all's deal is y'all's deal. Well karma must be a ***** because now here you are."
That doesnt make sense because friends started in 94 and Janet Hubert (the first Aunt Viv) was kicked off Fresh Prince in '93. So wtf is she talkin bout?
This Friends was the first to use that tactic and it was long after FPOBA, not mention FPOBA was/is not pulling Friends numbers.
