Janet Hubert Ain't Having! She Served Wendy Williams!

Wendy Williams is no stranger to controversy. In fact there are several popular artists and actors that refuse to appear on her show because of her keen ability to spew stupidity and spread vicious rumors. As a result she has made herself a very controversial figure in pop culture amongst celebs and fans.

Now Wendy is feuding with Janet Hubert. If don't know who she is, she was the original Aunt Vivian a.k.a. Aunt Viv on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Its no secret that Janet Hubert was a huge part of the shows success and when she was replaced it was hard to get used to the new Aunt Vivian. Honestly, I lost interest in the show when she left. I felt like it lacked something.

This one-sided feud started because of an appearance made by Tatyana Ali on Wendy's show. She
appeared to talk to Wendy about rumors of her dating Drake and one night stands. But Wendy changed the convo to her child star days on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,  listen to the interview below:




Janet Hubert was not pleased with the interview and she took to her Facebook and BlogTalkRadi.com to express her frustrations in letter form (via NewsOne.com):

Dear Wiggy, I’m sorry, Wendy,

Recently, you found the need to put an end to the mystery surrounding my departure from a show that I did so damn long ago that I don’t even remember why I departed.

Wendy Williams, or whatever you are supposed to be, I’m not quite sure. I’m writing you yet again, to appeal to your sense of womanhood or manhood as some suggest. Please close your mouth about things that you know nothing of.

Now, I watched your show to see dear Tatyana Ali sadly to say, fall into your trap. She even brought pictures of our days on the show from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. You know most people watch you just to see what heinous things your mouth will say compared to what an overflowing volcano will spew forth on that day.

Now perhaps other black women have allowed you to berate them and continued to support you in this manner of madness and rewarding hatefulness. It seems to become the norm and has taken over our society completely. But I, Janet Hubert, sat there and watched you tell the world that I was not a nice mother. I’m thinking to myself, the only person who has the right to say that is my child. So I sat there and watched you like some devilish sinkhole swallow up Tatyana Ali. You reduced her to a child sitting their tempting to keep some symbolism of dignity about her as you pried and invaded her life until you got what you wanted.

You are such a demon Wendy. You are wicked, awful, conniving, sinister, spiteful, jealous of every other woman. Simply put, Wendy you are a virus. You are not nor have you ever been a true woman. It seems as though your audience thirsts for the blood of others, as they are prompted to clap and hoop and holler at your shows and wigs and clothes.

Girl you will have some stars on your show and demean them before they even make it back home. I just would like to know who died and told you that you were reborn as Oprah. You want to be Oprah so bad that you would kill for it and you will kill anyone to achieve success. Sister, you will never be another Oprah. Oprah lifted her audience up and exuded an air of class.

But you know what Wendy, you are not even in my league. It is so beneath me to even bother with someone like you, but you asked for it. Didn’t nobody tell you to say my name on your show? You will not destroy all of the hard work that I went through for the last decade to clear my good name. I simply will not allow you to do so. I’m a lady and a real one. Wendy girlfriend you just messed with the wrong sista.

Now it’s funny for all that you and the world claim that I’ve done, I should have my own show like you. Darling there is nothing that I could have ever done in this lifetime in my career that would equal the vulgarity and ugliness and hatred that you spew on your show in one single day.

So, here is my advice to you Wendy. I want to help you. Learn to sit in a chair and stop fidgeting with yourself on camera. Wipe your giant teeth off camera, and don’t smear the spit on the chair. Please put some sweat pits under your arms, and darling if your sweater is pulling until there are lines across your chest, its too tight. You might want to deflate those tremendous breast. Take off the fake blonde hair. You have to stop playing the race card because you are coming off like a want to be white girl who will never be white.

Now, I have never seen anything besides hogs slobber at the mere mention of food, so I question your humanism at times. I have never seen a display of such self-hatred.

Just a couple more suggestions for you, please would you stop dissing all of us who’ve embraced our natural hair as many others and I have? And yes Wendy natural hair does belong on the red carpet whether you like it or not.

I kind of feel sorry for you. You sit there on your big-footed tacky throne everyday while millions of people are laughing at you not with you. There is a big difference. Nobody cares about what you think about his or her lives. But we do care about what you put out there about us. My heart saddens that women, especially black women, have embraced her evil after all of our struggles in society. You and your kind have set us back a hundred years or so. How dare you chastise anyone when you are such a travesty?

Now take that, chew it my dear and stick it on your lord have mercy you are disgusting fly ridden gum wall. And that’s the advice I have for you my sister.

Peace. 

 

Listen to internet radio with SPEAK OWN IT on Blog Talk Radio

I feel Ms. Hubert somewhat on what she was saying but she kind of painted Tatyana as a helpless child who didn't know what to say or how to respond. I felt like Tatyana answered the questions and really turned the interview back around to something positive. She worked the interview properly and didn't speak bad of anyone or anything about Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. This was so long ago and its obvious its still a sore subject for Ms. Hubert. I would hope that one day all can be forgiven so that everyone can rest easy. I think that holding on to grudges does nothing for you its just feeds into your enemies ego and pride everyday sucking you dry. L.I.G it Ms. Hubert with all due respect if you haven't already done so, please just let it go!

As for Wendy, she's been a drama queen her entire career. She's not going to stop. She feeds off of Gossip and hearsay. Let her have her moment. Don't respond to that craziness cause you do nothing but give what she wants. She likes seeing her name in the papers, social media blogs, etc. Any good PR rep would say all publicity is good publicity. So let her have it. If people stop responding to her ignorance then eventually she'll fade away or at least stick to the truth instead of fabricating stories.

Janet Hubert I was a huge fan of yours on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and if I was a producer of a television show I would definitely put you in for a role. I think you were and are underrated.

*On a Positive Note: 

My favorite Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode with Ms. Janet Hubert was the one where she turned 40 and wanted to pursue her dream to become a dancer.

This is the best video I've found on the net for it. Enjoy!

Is Steve Harvey the New Oprah? Maybe...

Steve Harvey is probably one of the most popular and intelligent entertainers of our time. He embodies the term ENTERTAINER to the fullest extent. By trade Mr. Harvey is a comedian. Selling out arenas and comedy clubs around the world, Mr. Harvey has made his name synonymous with comedic greats like Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, and more. But as I said earlier Steve Harvey is an ENTERTAINER, meaning he is a well rounded multifaceted media personality. He can do it all:  acting, comedy, community service, self help, film, tv, etc. 

Recently in a phone interview with the Hollywood Reporter he was asked if he was the "Next Oprah". Harvey humbly responded "Thats a scary headline, man." He then praised Oprah Winfrey for her work in television and stated that she is "One of a kind." He also said jokingly "I won't be Oprah, but maybe baby Oprah. Just call me Lil O!" By the way, Ms. Oprah Winfrey is set to appear on Steve Harvey's show at the end of April. An big endorsement that could and will push Steve Harvey to the top of the Talk Show circuit faster than expected (any endorsement or appearance by the incomparable Oprah Winfrey is a PLUS! Besides, Dr. Phil and Rachael Ray were backed by Oprah and to this day have top rated talk shows for well over 14 successful seasons between the two of them).

Steve Harvey has garned great ratings for his new tv talk show "The Steve Harvey Show". Ratings for his show have been reported at a 0.9 among women ages 25 to 54. It has gained some serious steam recently jumping from a 0.9 rating to a 1.0 rating in February. According to the Endemol company that produces Harvey's show "its making a slight profit " being sold to various stations across the country. Already having a strong following in the African American community from his comedy, Steve Harvey was able to cross over and become appealing to people of all races and walks of life (through both tv and radio). His humour, strong personality, and undeniable realness is what allows him to be such a permanent fixture in his current profession. 

Originally Steve Harvey saw himself doing late night talk shows like Jimmy Fallon, Jay Leno, and Jimmy Kimmel. But with his advice segments like "United Dates of America" and "Harvey's Heroes" Steve Harvey has placed himself at the top of the Day Time Talk Show list. Besides, his regular hosting duties he is the current host of his own radio show "The Steve Harvey Morning Show" and the game show "Family Feud". Steve has won many awards for his work in the media. For radio he won the Syndicated Personality/Show of the Year awards by Radio & Records magazine. At the BET Awards in 2011 he won the Humanitarian of the Year award. Recently he was voted Favorite New Talk Show Host at the 39th Annual People's Choice Awards. He also has his fashion line of dress clothes for men and women that can be found at K&G and JCPenny (for a complete look at his line or to find locations in your city to purchase please follow this link -> SteveHarveyCollection.com & Store Locator) Steve Harvey's also known for his non profit organization the Steve Harvey Mentoring Program for Young Men. In which he takes a hands on approach to change and shape the mind of young men from all over. This mentoring program helps to shape the future generations of young men for the world. Teaching them how to become strong, productive, successful, young men with dreams and goals to strive for.  

Steve Harvey is a man of many faces. I'm glad he's getting the push he deserves. I think his talk show is GREAT! I watch it often and I just love how he's down to earth and really gets involved with his guests. He tries hard to understand each person thats asks for advice and gives his true honest opinion. He's real and thats what makes him appealing to me. I'm a big fan of his even though I can admit that I haven't seen his movie Think Like a Man (sorry Mr. Harvey), even though it reportedly made over 100 million dollars in the box office by the end of its closing. Crazy, right? But then again when majority of your audience is women its not that shocking. Currently there are several publications that are reporting Think Like a Man 2 is in production. I hope it does as well as the first movie. 

Congratulations to you Steve Harvey for your great work with the young men of today, tv, radio, film, just EVERYTHING. Congrats on your unwavering success! Great men yield great work and you sir are a great man. 

Here in Cleveland, Oh, The Steve Harvey Show comes on at 2pm everyday on channel FOX 8. His talk show is in syndication so its available nationwide just check your local listings!

GoodBye! Michael Baisden's Widely Popular Radio Show is Caput!

"Michael Baisden"

Major drama in the radio world today as it was reported that Michael Baisden and his staff could not get into their studios they were LOCKED OUT! It was a shock. Michael Baisden has been in the business for well over 10 years and has been apart of countless rallies and important issues: the Jena 6, the Trayvon Martin, the election/re-election of President Obama etc. His shows were full controversial topics that people wanted and needed to discuss. It is unfair that they were not able to at least have a final show. To show up to work one day and not be able to get in to your office is just wrong on so many levels. Many fans have started petitions and plan to boycott the media company syndicating Michael Baisden's show Cumulus Media. But Michael Baisden has urged against it saying: 

"We were unable to reach an agreement with our syndication partner Cumulus Media. This was not a hostile situation, sometimes parties have different ideas and visions about how to move forward. So, there is no need for petitions and boycotts."

 Michael Baisden also stated:

"My only issue was that after 10 years of discussing important issues like domestic violence, missing children, leading civil rights marches like The Jena 6, campaigning for mentoring programs on a 70 city bus tour and donating 350,000 of my own money, helping to re-elect our President, and standing up to lead the rally for justice for Trayvon Martin, that I would at least be allowed to finish the show through next Friday. Now that is some Fragernackle bull!"

Michael Baisden & George Willborn

I can admit sometimes Michael Baisden's show got on my nerves. He always came off like he was trying too hard to get people interested. Thats just my opinion of it I could be wrong. Here in Cleveland the Michael Baisden show came on everyday at 3 in the afternoon and ended at 7 pm. I don't really listen to the show enough to be terribly upset at the dismal of the show but its the way Cumulus Media went about firing them that has me upset. Locking them out of the office with no warning, no nothing? Thats just cold. This man is a prominent fixture in the community and he has a huge following across the nation, so just locking him out the studio and not giving him a farewell show is rude and a blatant slap in the face. Seriously, Cumulus Media owes Michael Baisden and his staff a huge apology. Respect him and his craft enough to give him a proper send off.

Well Mr. Michael Baisden you had a great run. I appreciate the work you've done in film, tv, and radio.  Much Love to You and Good Luck! I know nothing of the radio or if iHeart Radio is represented by the same company but maybe Satellite Radio or Internet Radio should be your niche now. iHeart Radio, Sirius Radio, etc. Big radio show greats have shows that do extremely well in the format of radio (i.e. Jamie Foxx - The Foxxhole Radio Show, Steve Harvey - The Steve Harvey Show, etc). Maybe you should give it a shot Michael Baisden. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain!

On that note here's some of Michael Baisden's Show Clips:
