" Here's this woman played and -- 96 conference printed out there and with many ups and downs Janet Hubert is finally ready to show that true colors of Hollywood in her new book called perfection is not a sitcom mom. She's here today it take us behind the scenes of all the glitz and glam and really show us what it's like. To be a mother welcomes this Honda -- the red flag and I got another story. Yeah let's back -- just a little bit here because we all you have said fresh prince of Bel air -- you started off as a defense I started out as a -- aren't actually as an actress OK -- And then and Julia didn't we didn't. And then if I am started dancing because in the -- of a suspect and you needed to do all -- activity true triple put it back and send did you move to LA for the I want it to LAX specifically for -- exactly thinks thinks. There right pretty actually wonderful you know that first season and then that second season game and then that there game. Well now for those that don't know and you we're on the show for three C greasy -- you replaced by another -- Daphne Maxwell read exactly exactly. There were a lot of rumors out there. And we heard a mall things on the Internet we're talking behind the scenes of the shows that. This is -- you were saying you were difficult to work -- a little there."

" saying that Will Smith was the only person who sent it's so wanted to what I do you think -- I think will back then because there was so much. When I when they it was when it was announced excuse me and shipping them around town that I was leaving and then I was going to be the place because a contract. Issues with the network that's what the network always held to and we said it was only will who went out on that's. Real smear campaign because I think he had to win. I think that his arrogance his ego back then was he alive she'd -- I'm not like what he's sort of plays himself to be right now on the -- and is --"

" You talked about it in your books like saying I mean there's now a lot this button. -- couldn't -- a little booklet all a lot of information but you said you know remember he started off as a rapper Linley and a couple of other actors on the show -- skilled trained actors they -- difference there was a huge difference. He came in as an on the mound basically in the in my world because I've done theater and I done you know. Sometimes an unlocked. So he came in as a rapper yes and so that whole ideology of the rap world back then as it is now why is not that great when it comes to women's self. I was so this woman -- I took my job very seriously so. I was not difficult I think he probably was the most typical preseason they're coming out the book now because for years so many people have heard the other side -- rumors or or not -- she came out with a book coming out section is not a sitcom mom you know -- to drop not a lot everything everybody in the behind the scenes what was going on. So a lot of writers in Hollywood didn't want to touch it because they were afraid of losing their jobs they were at when we look for it when I was looking at ghost writers they were afraid because a lot of these guys have scripts on Paramount's desk and you know he's a pretty big. Person in Hollywood now and show. I talked to one -- writer who said to me you know assuming you don't need coastline and you can do this yourself. And so I wrote the entire book myself. And took his lead and and sometimes when you lose against you lose. Certain things got -- view of things and so writing has become. A very cathartic thing for me I love it and you kind of let it out that you have some -- you could say something to right now I'll talk a good thing okay if I -- yes and I say that in the book. If I could say something to him right now you know I don't wanna give -- Al away ranks right and it's -- I'm telling you honestly think every single pages a lot of -- area did not know but. Let's talk about what you're doing now before we -- go in just a bit that you have a whole new com a book out for children and I I have that in series called JT in the BC kids because I felt that there is a need out there right now. For some morality. And BC stands for a couple of things stands for bright children sensible -- confident stands for beautiful and caring and and so we aspire arcades go back to that very. -- thing of the goodness of what Barney used to teach us the dinosaurs -- little baby who. Who solves problems you know bullying in all we do a lot of issues at. A lot of kids do with today and my own son was my inspiration to create GG NBC news that's grade you so happy you. You seem very. I am I'm ecstatic especially. Now that's -- came to visit me how I did I am just a little bit about so let's say you're -- you guys can read more about what life could really be like when the cameras stop rolling. It yet it's but it's called perfection is not a sitcom mom and it's available now in Barnes & Noble also Amazon.com."
