Janet Hubert is fed up, and she wants the world to know it.

More specifically, at Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith.

After Pinkett-Smith began spearheading the “Boycott the Oscars” movement, Hubert, the former Fresh Prince cast member, decided enough was enough and posted a video on Facebook speaking her mind.

According to Hubert — the original Aunt Viv — she believes there are bigger issues in the world than boycotting the Oscars — the Black Lives Matter movement being one of those things.

“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,” Hubert said.

She also went on to add how instead of protesting and encouraging people not to watch the Oscars, the celebrities should join the frontline of some the fights for equality going on across the world right now.
