I’m usually all for the petty but Aunt Viv needs to hug. It’s been over 20 years since her feud with Will Smith and she still hasn’t let it go. It’s a bit hypocritical for her to call herself a “blacktress” and telling Will and Jada they’re wrong for calling for more diversity. This is something she’s done in the past but yet when Jada says something it’s a problem. Another issue I had with her ran was that it was on some sexist bullshit. She made it out like Jada doesn’t have a mind of her own and Will put her up to that. I seriously doubt Will can make Jada do anything she doesn’t want to do.
In my opinion most of the people cosigning with her are people who have a problem with the Smiths and how they raise their children. I saw so many ignorant comments about Will needing to focus on getting his son out of dress than worrying about the Oscars. A lot of her supporters are simply just anti-Smiths and Aunt Viv was liking all those comments. That just shows you what she was all about in the first place.
She’s always be my favorite Aunt Viv but on this issue she’s dead wrong.
When they bring back Celebrity Death(and you know the will) Aunt Viv vs The Smiths this needs to be the main event, I mean Hell In The Cell Style, maybe with the Money in Brief Case twist. 🙂
Hey Rod:
Thanks for pulling out these receipts. I must admit, I was ready to believe black Aunt Viv’s claims re: the Smiths’ philanthropic records and their ‘wokeness’. I hadn’t done my homework and I was ready to believe Petty Viv even though I knew her ass was bitter and petty. This is why I fuxx with you both. 🙂
