Trivia: Ben Vereen, who played Will's dad Lou, admitted that as soon as he walked out of camera range, he immediately broke down into tears.
Question: Does anyone know why Janet Hubert-Witten was replaced? I've heard rumours that she didn't get along with the rest of the cast, is this true?
Answer: To avoid the confusion, I mentioned "Good Times" only in response to a former submission on here that she was on Good Times at one point (that submission was deleted shortly afterwards, but my Good Times response somehow stayed on here causing the confusion.
Answer: She was never on Good Times. She didn't start acting until the early 80s. Good Times ended in 1979.
This question isn't about Janet being on Good Times. It's about her being replaced.

Answer: She became pregnant in real life, which would have messed up the story line. They would have had to add a fifth kid.
They did add a fifth kid.

Answer: Yes. It's very true. Janet quit at the end of the third season because she claims that Will acted horribly, bullied cast and crew on the set and got her fired for no reason. Alfonso Ribeiro however has called her "cuckoo" and stated that her claims were baseless. He also stated that she was very difficult to work with on set. Even James Avery agreed and often had to remind her that the show was called "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and not "Philip and Vivian of Bel-Air."
