Janet Hubert Trashes NeNe Leakes: Ratchet is the new black.
Janet Hubert is serving even more criticism to black Hollywood. As previously reported, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actress has publicly criticized Jada Pinkett-Smith and her husband Will Smith for boycotting the Oscars. [Click here for the backstory.]
In her latest Facebook video, she had some not so nice things to say about BRAVO reality TV star, NeNe Leakes.
NeNe Leakes
She states:
Did you know NeNe Leakes made it on Broadway before Janet Hubert? Something’s wrong with the whole system of bad behavior being rewarded. I think in the black community, ratchet has became the new black, ghetto has become the new black.
Janet also continued to criticize Jada and Will telling the LA Times,
I’m a real freedom fighter. I’m not a pretend freedom fighter. I stand up for other actresses, other people. The Smiths just irked me because they are such pretenders, and everything is a photo op. It’s just self-contrived because her hubby didn’t get a nomination.
When asked if she thinks there’s a diversity issue in Hollywood, she says:
We’re all complaining about diversity in Hollywood, but we’ve got to address the colorism within the black community of Hollywood first. I’m called “dark-skinned Aunt Viv.” [Reid] is called “light-skinned Aunt Viv.” The whole ridiculousness of black Hollywood — there is no black Hollywood. It’s every man for himself. We’ve got to address that first before we can start attacking someone else’s awards that were never designed for us. The Oscars were never designed for us. There are actors who have never gotten an Oscar and have done amazing work. If you are waiting for an award of a little … gold statue and that’s supposed to validate you, then you’re not in this business for the right reasons. We do the work. It’s about the work. It’s about taking the pages of a script and bringing them to life. It ain’t that deep. We get paid a lot of money to do very little work.

Aunt Viv must be Blacklisted from Hollyweird? Is this why she turned into a Angry Bird?
She’s down playing being acknowledged for your work.Isnt that the same reason she’s pissed at Will?She felt her contribution to the show wasn’t compensated properly among other things?Aunt Viv take several seats on a Mental Dr.couch.
Yes she needs a seat and prescription!!!!
You got to give her props for saying whats real!!
If she states “we have to address that first” She needs to start with herself. Tearing down NeNe Leakes, doesn’t show solidarity. It sounds as though she is envious of the success NeNe has. Why call it ghetto. She really needs to research the word ghetto and start from there. Instead of going on these rants, use your talent to uplift and educate young African American women, who think ratchetness in reality tv is the way to go. We all know that it’s the quickest way to sale your soul to the devil and become a household name. Janet be part of the solution, not part of the problem. These folks and thinking about you!
