Janet Hubert Reveals She Was Pregnant & Suffering A ‘Very Abusive Marriage’ Amid Her ‘Fresh Prince Exit

“What you didn’t realize either was I was going through a lot at home. You didn’t know. Very abusive marriage.”

She said she parted ways with the show after she was “offered a bad deal.”

“They said, ‘You’ve got two months and two weeks of work and you cannot work anywhere else.’ So that meant my salary was cut. I had a new baby and a husband who was out of work. So I said no. I did not accept their offer. I was never fired. So the misconception was always put out there. I was trapped. What could I do? So they said, ‘Okay, then we’re going to recast your role.’ And I said, ‘What can I say?’ I was hurt deeply, deeply.”
