- Take a look into most explosive on-set feuds of all time
While on screen, they may look like they're as close as could be, some costars from your favorite shows and movies actually secretly hated each other in real life.
That's right, many beloved series and films were filled with explosive drama, bitter on-set feuds, intense rivalries, and nasty fall-outs behind the scenes, all unbeknownst to its viewers.
Other times, the stars couldn't hide their disdain for one another and the tension trickled into the press tours or premieres, making it obvious to the world that something went down on set.
Take Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni for example. The It Ends With Us stars' showdown has completely captivated the globe and has even now erupted into a massive legal battle involving multiple lawsuits and a slew of shocking claims, including accusations of sexual harassment.
The entire world has watched on as the two actors have continuously battled it out publicly in recent months, with their legal teams hurling insult after insult at one another.
Their messy drama seemed to overshadow the release of the movie, and it's certainly not the first time a set of actors have come to blows after starring in something together.
In fact, some feuds in the past have become so intense that they have led to the stars cursing each other out, storming off of the set, or even on rare occasion physically attacking each other.
Amidst the ongoing It Ends With Us saga, FEMAIL has revealed all the other costars who have butted heads while filming a movie or show.
From Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall to Don't Worry Darling stars Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh, take a look into most explosive on-set feuds of all time.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni became embroiled in a legal battle after filming It Ends With Us together
Rumors first erupted that Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni (seen in the film) were feuding when they failed to do any promo together during the press tour and didn't interact at the premiere
Things took a shocking turn in December when Blake filed an explosive lawsuit against Justin, in which she alleged he sexually harassed her and created a hostile work environment on set
Blake and Justin began filming the movie adaptation of the beloved Colleen Hoover novel in May 2023, and it wrapped in early 2024.
On the outside, everything seemed to go well, but when the two stars headed off on a press tour ahead of its release in August 2024, fans began to suspect that something was amiss.
They were quick to notice that Blake and Justin failed to do any promo together, despite playing the two main leads and lovers in the flick.
They didn't even interact once or pose together on the red carpet at the premiere, resulting in a barrage of rumors that they were feuding.
Things took a shocking turn in December when Blake filed an explosive lawsuit against Justin with the California Civil Rights Department, in which she alleged he sexually harassed her and created a hostile work environment on set.
Following Blake's lawsuit, the New York Times released an article about the ordeal and called it a 'Hollywood Smear Machine,' claiming Justin and his PR team 'pushed to prevent stories about Justin's behavior' and 'reinforced negative ones' about Blake.
Justin denied her claims and responded by filing his own $400 million lawsuit against the actress.
It was filled with his own fair share of shocking claims - including one that Blake enlisted her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her pal Taylor Swift to 'pressure' him into allowing her to make changes to the script.
Since then, the two stars' lawyers have continuously hurled insults at one another.
The New York Times then released an article about the ordeal and called it a 'Hollywood Smear Machine,' claiming Justin and his PR team 'reinforced negative' stories about Blake

Last month, Blake and her husband Ryan's legal team requested a gag order to curb what they called 'improper conduct' by Justin's attorneys, citing an alleged 'harassing and retaliatory media campaign' against the couple.
It came after Justin's attorney released shocking behind-the-scenes footage from the set of It Ends With Us.
The explosive video, exclusively released by DailyMail.com, showed all three takes of a dance scene between the costars - revealing the pair were on apparent great terms before the actress accused him of sexual harassment.
Blake hit back at the clip's release, with her lawyers saying it actually proved that she was uncomfortable during the scene.
Her team said that sharing the video with the media 'was another example of an unethical attempt to manipulate the public' and 'a continuation of their harassment and retaliatory campaign.'
'We are continuing our efforts to require Mr. Baldoni and his associates to answer in court, under oath, rather than through manufactured media stunts,' her lawyer stated.
Justin's attorney Bryan Freedman told DailyMail.com afterwards that their only goal was to 'defend their clients with pure, unedited facts' following her 'disturbingly false and well calculated hit piece' against Justin.
'The irony is not lost on anyone that Ms. Lively is so petrified of the truth that she has moved to gag it,' he said.
'The immense power that she wielded in Hollywood built on pure fear of her husband and their powerful friends came to an end the moment Ms. Lively planned a mass distribution of a disturbingly false and well calculated hit piece in The New York Times.'
Last month, Blake and her husband Ryan's legal team requested a gag order to curb what they called 'improper conduct' by Justin's attorneys. They're seen on set
In addition to his lawsuit against Blake, Justin is now also suing the Times for defamation.
'Ms. Lively did this with the sole intent to ruin the lives of innocent individuals, and then went the extra mile to place blame on a fictitious smear campaign, all because she quite simply could not accept that the public had organically seen through her facade,' Bryan continued.
'When you accuse innocent individuals of something so disturbing as sexual harassment without thinking of the destruction it would cause to not only them, but the entire domestic violence community, this is where accountability for such mean spirited actions must be taken.
'We will always respect the court; however, we will never be bullied by those suggesting we cannot defend our clients with pure, unedited facts.
'All we want is for people to see the actual text messages that directly contradict her allegations, video footage that clearly shows there was no sexual harassment, and all the other powerful evidence that directly contradicts any false allegations of sexual harassment and subsequent smear campaign.
'It seems that in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.'
Rumors of a feud between Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh overshadowed the release of Don't Worry Darling
The release of Olivia Wilde's psychological thriller Don't Worry Darling was similarly overshadowed by a slew of rumors about a feud
In the months leading up to its release, everyone was quick to notice that the main star, Florence Pugh was staying suspiciously tight lipped about the movie
The release of Olivia's psychological thriller Don't Worry Darling was similarly overshadowed by a slew of rumors about a feud.
In the months leading up to its release, everyone was quick to notice that the main star, Florence was staying suspiciously tight lipped about the movie, and was sparsely posting about it on her social media accounts.
At the time, a source told Us Weekly, 'Florence and Olivia have had several disagreements personally and professionally - that's why Florence isn't doing any press for the movie.'
In addition, when Florence was asked what she found 'inspiring' in the film during an appearance that September, her blistering answer heightened rumors of a feud between her and director Olivia.
'I think it's very, very inspiring to see a woman push back and say "no," and question everything. It's very exciting to see a woman do that on and off camera,' she responded.

Soon, reports emerged that claimed the drama had stemmed from Olivia's controversial romance with Harry Styles

Olivia and Harry had fallen for one another while making the film, confirming their romance one month before filming wrapped.
And a source told DailyMail.com that their romance had caused major 'tension' on set.
'Harry and Olivia started spending more time together - sneaking off for coffees, hanging out in one another's trailers, and sharing small, routine intimacies,' they explained.
An insider also told Vulture that Olivia and Florence once got into a 'screaming match' over Olivia's 'frequent, unexplained absences' on set, during which she'd 'disappear' to spend time with Harry.
When it came time for the film's premiere at the Venice Film Festival, things seemed immensely icy between Olivia and Florence on the red carpet.
Florence also notably skipped the press conference beforehand.

In an interview with Elle afterwards, Olivia addressed their rumored feud, and she claimed that her 'life was torn to shreds' by the public as a result of all the scrutiny over the flick.
Although she did not address any of the scandals specifically during her interview, she slammed the number of 'untruths' about her life that have been shared in recent months, and compared all the talk surrounding the movie to being on 'a reality show.'
'It is shocking to see so many untruths about yourself traded as fact,' she told the publication.
'Florence had a really wise comment that we didn't sign up for a reality show, and I love that she put it that way, because it's as though the general public feels that if you are making something that you're selling to the public, you somehow have accepted that your life will be torn to shreds by a pack of wolves. No, that's actually not part of the job description. Never was.'
Kelsey Grammer and Ted Danson were embroiled in a 30-year feud after working on Cheers together
Many may not have realized that the beloved show Cheers had some serious drama behind-the-scenes
Costars Kelsey Grammer and Ted Danson recently sent shockwaves around the globe when they revealed that they had been embroiled in a feud that lasted a whopping 30 years
Many may not have realized that the beloved show Cheers had some serious drama behind-the-scenes.
Costars Kelsey Grammer and Ted Danson recently sent shockwaves around the globe when they revealed that they had been embroiled in a feud that lasted a whopping 30 years.
The two hashed out their issues when Kelsey appeared on Ted's Everybody Knows Your Name podcast in October, but at the time, neither divulged what had caused the decades-long fight.
'I feel like, f**k, I don't know. I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer, and I feel like it's my bad, my doing,' Ted said.
'I almost feel like apologizing to you... I apologize to you and me. I really do apologize.'
The two hashed out their issues when Kelsey appeared on Ted's Everybody Knows Your Name podcast in October, but at the time, neither divulged what had caused the decades-long fight
Kelsey recently shared some more info on what caused the rift, explaining, 'It was when I was drinking a lot. Ted said, 'I'm mad at you that sometimes you don't show up ready to go''
Kelsey thanked him for the apology and said, 'I truly wish we'd spent some more time together.'
Earlier this week, Kelsey finally shared some more info on what caused the rift to the New York Post.
'It got a little blown out of proportion. There really wasn't an argument,' he said.
'It was at a time in my life when I was actually going through a lot of self-doubt, self-loathing, honestly.
'It was when I was drinking a lot. Ted had just come up and said, "You know, I'm kind of mad at you that sometimes you don't show up ready to go."
'And I said, "okay, I respect that." And that actually was sort of it. Now maybe what happened for Ted was, he stepped away from what might have been a [bad] friendship... maybe he had to protect himself.'
Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams once got into a screaming match on set of The Notebook
While their chemistry on screen in The Notebook captured audiences around the globe, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams did not get along while filming the fan favorite flick
Director Nick Cassavetes opened up to VH1 about one particularly rough fight they had on set back in 2014, admitting that Ryan said he wanted her replaced with another actress
While their chemistry on screen in The Notebook captured audiences around the globe, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams did not get along while filming the fan favorite flick.
Director Nick Cassavetes opened up to VH1 about one particularly rough fight they had on set back in 2014, admitting that it got so intense Ryan said he wanted her replaced with another actress.
'Maybe I'm not supposed to tell this story, but they were really not getting along one day on set. Really not,' he shared.
'Ryan came to me, there's 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, "Nick come here."
'He's doing a scene with Rachel and he says, "Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?"
'He says, "I can't. I can't do it with her. I'm just not getting anything from this."'
Evidently, the two eventually patched things up and they even started dating in 2005, a year after the movie hit theaters, and were together for two years before they split
Nick said that after allowing the two actors 'scream' it out, the shoot was able to continue.
'We went into a room with a producer, they started screaming and yelling at each other. I walked out,' he recalled.
'At that point I was smoking cigarettes. I smoked a cigarette and everybody came out like, "All right, let's do this."'
Evidently, the two eventually patched things up and they even started dating in 2005, a year after the movie hit theaters.
Ultimately, they ended up calling it quits in 2007 - much to The Notebook fans' dismay.
Ryan touched on the reason behind their breakup in a 2007 interview with GQ, stating, 'The only thing I remember is we both went down swingin' and we called it a draw.'
Sex and the City costars Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker have publicly slammed each other numerous times
It's no secret that Sex and the City stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall were not as close in real life as their characters were on screen
A 2009 report claimed, 'Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall are no longer speaking, which is making everyone on the set of the new Sex and the City movie uncomfortable'
It's no secret that Sex and the City stars Sarah and Kim were not as close in real life as their characters were on screen.
Speculation first emerged that said the two were feuding when filming kicked off for the SATC movie.
Kim initially decided she wouldn't be a part of it, and explained that it came down to the pay.
'I felt after six years it was time for all of us to participate in the financial windfall of Sex and the City. When they didn't seem keen on that I thought it was time to move on,' she said.
Afterwards, reports began to emerge that said the rest of the SATC stars weren't happy with her decision.
But Sarah tried to quelle the rumors, stating, 'Honestly, we are all friends and I wish I saw more of Kim.
'She mentioned money and no one should vilify her for it. People made a decision that we had vilified her.
'No one bothered to say [to the rest of us], "Are you disappointed by not making the movie?' Yes. 'Do you respect and support her choice to not do it?" Absolutely.'
Kim ultimately did agree to join the film, which came out in 2008, but when they started filming the follow-up afterwards, it was clear that things were tense between Kim and SJP.
In 2017, after reports emerged that said the Sex and the City 3 movie had been canceled because of Kim, she spoke out against Sarah. They're seen in 2009
She said of Sarah, 'She could have been nicer. I really think she could have been nicer.' They're seen in 1998
A 2009 report from New York Magazine claimed, 'Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall are no longer speaking, which is making everyone on the set of the new Sex and the City movie uncomfortable.'
While both women initially denied that there was any feud, the façade began to break down in the years that followed.
In 2017, after reports emerged that said the Sex and the City 3 movie had been canceled because of Kim, she spoke out against Sarah.
'I remember so clearly, making that decision, and last December, I got a phone call and it was concerning that and the answer was simply, "Thank you, but no,"' she said of deciding not to participate in the third film.
'The answer was always no. I never asked for any money, I never asked for any projects. To be thought of as some kind of diva is ridiculous.'
She then said of Sarah, 'She could have been nicer. I really think she could have been nicer.'
She added that she hadn't been in contact with any of her costars in quite some time and said it felt like being in a 'toxic relationship.'
She also clarified, 'We've never been friends. We've been colleagues, and in some ways, it's a very healthy place to be.'
Kim then slammed SJP again after she tried to console Kim on social media after her brother died in 2018.
When the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That..., came out in December 2021, Kim was not a part of it
She did, however, make a brief cameo in the season two finale... which she filmed by herself without any interactions with her former cast mates
'I can't begin to know how her family is managing such a loss,' Sarah told Extra at the time.
'We all send her our love and condolences and grant her the privacy that she's asked for.'
'I don't need your love or support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker,' Kim wrote on Instagram.
She then accused Sarah of 'exploiting our tragedy to restore [her] "nice girl" persona,' adding: 'Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now.'

Blake Lively and Leighton Meester played best friends in Gossip Girl but didn't get along in real life
Years before the It Ends With Us drama, Blake had another infamous on set feud, this time with her Gossip Girl costar Leighton Meester
In the beloved CW series, which ran from 2007 until 2012, the two played best friends, but in real life, it quickly became clear the two were not very close. They're seen in the show
Years before the It Ends With Us drama, Blake had another infamous on set feud, this time with Gossip Girl costar Leighton Meester.
In the beloved CW series, which ran from 2007 until 2012, the two played best friends, but in real life, it quickly became clear the two were not very close.
In 2008, a source told New York Magazine that the two 'avoid each other like the plague' on set.
The publication claimed that the rivalry escalated to the point that other members essentially had to 'choose sides' in the matter.
At that time, Blake's publicist came forward with a statement, admitting the two were indeed never friendly.
'Blake and Leighton have never been best friends and never professed to be,' the publicist's statement read. 'Blake goes to work, does her job and goes home.'
Years later, a writer from the show, Josh Safran, spilled some more info on their icy relationship.
In 2008, Blake's publicist addressed rumors of a feud, stating, 'Blake and Leighton have never been best friends and never professed to be. Blake goes to work, does her job and goes home'
'Blake and Leighton were not friends,' Gossip Girl writer Josh Safran told Vanity Fair in 2017. 'They were friendly, but they were not friends like Serena and Blair'
'Blake and Leighton were not friends,' he told Vanity Fair in 2017. 'They were friendly, but they were not friends like Serena and Blair.'
He then explained that the two of had differing personalities and interests, which likely contributed to why they didn't click.
'Blake is very much in the moment. Blake knows what's happening,' he shared. 'You talk to Blake on a very contemporary level, and she would be like, "I'm doing this thing tonight. Have you been to this restaurant?"
'Leighton was very removed and very quiet, and, after her scenes were done, she would wander the stage.
'I had this image of her just in these gorgeous dresses with a book in her hand, sort of a little bit out of focus out in the corners.'
Meryl Streep branded Dustin Hoffman as an 'an obnoxious pig' after they made Kramer v. Kramer
Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep played an estranged husband and wife at odds in the 1979 flick Kramer v. Kramer, and their relationship off-screen was just as tumultuous
Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep played an estranged husband and wife at odds in the 1979 flick Kramer v. Kramer.
Meryl later said of their first meeting, 'He came up to me and said, 'I'm Dustin–burp–Hoffman,' and he put his hand on my breast. 'What an obnoxious pig,' I thought'
And it turns out their relationship off-screen was just as tumultuous as their characters' on-screen relationship.
While speaking to Time after the movie's release in 1979, Meryl said things started off rough because her first impression of Dustin, who was 12 years her senior, was not the best.
'He came up to me and said, "I'm Dustin – burp – Hoffman," and he put his hand on my breast,' Meryl told the outlet. '"What an obnoxious pig," I thought.'
Things didn't get better once they started filming, as she claimed that the actor slapped her without warning.
'This was my first movie, and it was my first take in my first movie, and he just slapped me,' she told The New York Times of the experience in 2018.
Dustin has since claimed that he was taking out his frustrations from his own divorce on his on-screen wife.
'I'm sure I was acting out on [Meryl] throughout the movie,' he told the Huffington Post. 'Stuff that I was feeling toward the wife that I was divorcing in real life.'
Charlize Theron felt threatened by Tom Hardy on set of Mad Max: Fury Road to the point she requested full-time protection
Charlize Theron felt threatened so threatened by Tom Hardy while they were filming Mad Max: Fury Road that she requested full-time protection while on set
In the book Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road, crew members said their feud began after he showed up three hours late on set
Charlize Theron felt so threatened by Tom Hardy while they were filming Mad Max: Fury Road that she requested full-time protection while on set.
In the book Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road, a number of crew members opened up about the grueling filming process.
And they claimed the two stars once got into a full-blown yelling match on set after Tom showed up to set three hours late.
But his reaction is said to have left Charlize terrified for her safety.
'Eleven o'clock. She's now in the War Rig, sitting there with her makeup on and a full costume for three hours,' Mark Goellnicht, a camera operator, said in the book.
'Tom turns up, and he walks casually across the desert. She jumps out of the War Rig, and she starts swearing her head off at him, saying, "Fine the f**king c**t a hundred thousand dollars for every minute that he's held up this crew," and, "How disrespectful you are."'
'He charged up to her up and went, "What did you say to me?"' Mark continued. 'He was quite aggressive. She really felt threatened, and that was the turning point.'
'He charged up to her up and went, 'What did you say to me?'' Mark Goellnicht, a camera operator, said. 'He was quite aggressive. She really felt threatened'
Charlize then requested to have 'protection' with her at all times throughout the rest of filming.
'It got to a place where it was kind of out of hand, and there was a sense that maybe sending a woman producer down could maybe equalize some of it, because I didn't feel safe,' Charlize said in the book.
'It was like two parents in the front of the car,' she recalled of her dynamic with Tom.
'We were either fighting or we were icing each other - I don't know which one is worse - and they had to deal with it in the back.
'It was horrible. We should not have done that, we should have been better. I can own up to that.'
Tom also claimed responsibility over his contribution to the feud in his book.
'In hindsight, I was in over my head in many ways,' he explained. 'The pressure on both of us was overwhelming at times.
'What she needed was a better, perhaps more experienced partner in me. That's something that can't be faked. I'd like to think that now that I'm older and uglier, I could rise to that occasion.'
Fast and the Furious stars Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Vin Diesel have long been open about their disdain for one another
Fast and Furious stars Vin Diesel and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson reportedly grew furious at each other while filming the eighth installment of the series, the Fate of the Furious
A source told People at the time, 'Vin has been having problems with The Rock because The Rock keeps showing up late for production. Sometimes he doesn't show up at all'
Fast and Furious stars Vin Diesel and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson reportedly grew furious at each other while filming the eighth installment of the series, the Fate of the Furious.
'Tension has been building up for months,' a source close to the production told People at the time.
'Vin has been having problems with The Rock because The Rock keeps showing up late for production. Sometimes he doesn't show up at all and he's delaying the production.'
But other insiders said it was Vin's behavior on set that was to blame.
'Vin Diesel and the Dwayne Johnson have been butting heads throughout the production of Fast 8,' a source told Page Six.
'Vin has a reputation for being difficult - he shows up late, keeps people waiting, holds up production and is disrespectful to people on the set. Dwayne lost his patience with him.'
Things heated up in August 2016 when The Rock wrote a not-so-subtle post slamming 'some' of his male costars.
'Some [male costars] conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't,' he said via Instagram in a since-deleted post.
'The ones that don't are too chicken s**t to do anything about it anyway. Candy a**es.
'When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I'm not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling - you're right.'
Vin tried to downplay the drama during an interview with USA Today, stating, 'I don't think the world really realizes how close we are, in a weird way. I think some things may be blown out of proportion.
Dwayne told Rolling Stone in 2018 that the two have 'a fundamental difference in philosophies on how we approach moviemaking and collaborating'
'I don't think that was his intention. I know he appreciates how much I work this franchise. In my house, he's Uncle Dwayne.
'I protect the franchise. I protect everybody, including Dwayne. I protected Dwayne more than he'll ever know.
'And it doesn't matter. He doesn't have to know. But he appreciates it. He knows it. Dwayne Johnson only has one big brother in this film world and that's me.'
Despite Vin's sweet comments, Dwayne told Rolling Stone in 2018 that the two have 'a fundamental difference in philosophies on how we approach moviemaking and collaborating.'
Then, during a 2021 interview with Vanity Fair, Dwayne revealed that they had a meeting about his post in his trailer afterwards.
'I wouldn't call it a peaceful meeting,' he told the outlet, adding that at the end of their chat, 'It really became just crystal clear that we are two separate ends of the spectrum.'
And in response to Vin's 'brother' comment, Dwayne stated, 'I have one big brother and it's my half brother. And that's it.'
That same year, Vin claimed that the reason his and Dwayne's relationship had become so tense was because of his tendency to give out acting advice while on set.
'My approach at the time was a lot of tough love to assist in getting [his] performance where it needed to be,' he told Men's Health.
Vin later claimed that the reason his and Dwayne's relationship had become so tense was because of his tendency to give out acting advice while on set. The Rock is seen last year
Dwayne ultimately made the decision to leave the franchise, but Vin made a public plea for his 'little brother Dwayne' to rethink his decision on Instagram in December 2021.
He began the lengthy post, 'The world awaits the finale of Fast 10. As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house.
'There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don't send well wishes... but the time has come. Legacy awaits.
'I told you years ago that I was going to fulfill my promise to Pablo [Paul Walker]. I swore that we would reach and manifest the best Fast in the finale that is 10.
'I say this out of love... but you must show up. Do not leave the franchise idle you have a very important role to play.
'Hobbs can't be played by no other. I hope that you rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny.'
Dwayne was not pleased with Vin's public plea, telling CNN, 'This past June, when Vin and I actually connected not over social media, I told him directly - and privately - that I would not be returning to the franchise.
'I didn't like that he brought up his children in the post, as well as Paul Walker. Leave them out of it.'
Fresh Prince of Bel Air stars Janet Hubert called Will Smith an 'egomaniac' and 'a**hole' in the years following the show
Janet Hubert and Will Smith played mother and son respectively in the show Fresh Prince of Bel Air. But in real life, their relationship was very different

Janet Hubert and Will Smith played mother and son respectively in the show Fresh Prince of Bel Air. But in real life, their relationship was very different.
Janet left the show in 1993 over 'creative differences,' and at the time, Will made it clear that she wasn't a fan of his.
'[Janet] said once, "I've been in the business for 10 years and this snotty-nosed punk comes along and gets a show." No matter what, to her I'm just the Anti-Christ,' the actor said during an interview.
She later publicly slammed Will's behavior on set, telling BlackAmericaWeb in 2010, 'I was a dark-skinned, African-American mother, and Will used to tell the you're-so-Black jokes to the audience before the show.
'At one point, I came out and stopped him... He didn't understand how unbelievably disrespectful that was to women like me.'
A year later, rumors began to swirl that there was going to be a Fresh Prince of Bel Air reboot after Will posted a photo with some of his former castmates.
She also told TMZ in 2011, 'There will never be a reunion as I will never do anything with an a**hole like Will Smith. He is still an egomaniac and has not grown up'
Will went on to publicly apologize to Janet on a segment of Red Table Talk, and she appeared in the Fresh Prince reunion special in 2020
'I waited a long time to hear those words,' Janet told WABC afterwards of Will's apology. She added, 'I felt the change. He is not the same person that he was at 21 years old'
But Jane was quick to shut those rumors down, telling TMZ, 'There will never be a reunion as I will never do anything with an a**hole like Will Smith.'
'He is still an egomaniac and has not grown up. This constant reunion thing will never, ever happen in my lifetime unless there is an apology, which he doesn't know the word,' she scathed.

Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano starred in the popular show Charmed together for the first three seasons before Shannen left the show.
At the time, Shannen was brutally honest about how a certain person on set had contributed to her departure from the series, and while she didn't name names, many people thought she was referring to Alyssa.
'I want to work with actors who really, really care and that want to be there every single day,' Shannen once said.
'I don't want to work with people who b***h about their job and complain about it and say that they hate it or anything else.'
In December 2023, Shannen and Holly Marie Combs reunited for an episode of the Little House on the Prairie alum's podcast Let's Be Clear - and they made a series of shocking claims against Alyssa.
They slammed her for causing a 'weird divide' between them during their time on the show, and alleged that it was Alyssa's fault that Shannen was ultimately let go.
Shannen stated that Alyssa and her mom, Lin Milano, had tried to restrict her access to Holly after she had to undergo surgery on her uterus to remove a tumor.
'I waited 24 hours after your surgery to go and then it wasn't even easy for me to get in,' Shannen said to Holly. 'I was like being told I couldn't even get in.
'Alyssa and her mom were blocking people from seeing you and at the time you didn't know - I remember you texted me, "Dude are you going to come and see me?"'
Shannen claimed that the scenario 'caused a weird divide between the two of them that continued throughout season two,' which resulted in her 'crying every single night' during production on the show's second season.

While addressing their accusations afterwards, Alyssa said, 'I am the most sad that a show that has meant so much to so many people has been tarnished by a toxicity that is still to this day almost a quarter of a century later still happening.
'I'm sad that people can't move past it. I'm sad that we all can't just celebrate the success of a show that meant so much to all of us.
'I have worked super hard in my life in the last 25 years to heal all of my trauma, and that's not just all the trauma that I experienced while shooting but all of my trauma.'
But Shannen doubled down on the claims a few days later, stating, 'Holly and I, we were not mean on the podcast.
'In fact, we went in and we edited out anything that we felt would cause more drama.
'We simply told the truth because the truth actually does matter. But we wanted to try to save you, the fans, from heartbreak as much as humanly possible.
'At this point in my life with my health diagnosis - with fighting horrific disease every day of my life, it is also incredibly important to me that the truth actually be told as opposed to the narrative that others put out there for me.'
After Shannen passed away in July 2024 after a battle with breast cancer, Alyssa addressed their longtime feud in an emotional tribute.
'It's no secret that Shannen and I had a complicated relationship, but at its core was someone I deeply respected and was in awe of,' she said.
'She was a talented actress, beloved by many, and the world is less without her. My condolences to all who loved her.'

'He came to rehearsals and criticized everything I did and never gave me a word of encouragement,' she noted
Debbie Reynolds and Gene Kelly's Singin' in the Rain love story did not translate off screen.
In her 2013 memoir, Unsinkable, Debbie described Gene as a 'cruel taskmaster.'
'He came to rehearsals and criticized everything I did and never gave me a word of encouragement,' she noted.
Debbie, who was cast in the role at 19, had never danced before, opposed to Gene, who was 20 years her senior.
'I had three months to learn what Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor had been doing for years,' she continued in the tome.
She also accused the actor of using tongue while kissing her without her consent.
'The camera closed in. Gene took me tightly in his arms... and shoved his tongue down my throat,' she wrote of the experience.
She also accused the actor, who was 20 years her senior, of using tongue while kissing her without her consent
'"Ew! What was that?" I screeched, breaking free of his grasp and spitting.'
'I ran around frantic, yelling for some Coca-Cola to cleanse my mouth. It was the early 1950s, and I was an innocent kid who had never been French-kissed.
'It felt like an assault. I was stunned that this 39-year-old man would do this to me.'
Gene reportedly acknowledged that he wasn't friendliest to her while filming.
'I wasn't very nice to Debbie. I'm surprised she still speaks to me,' he once said, as per Country Living.
Naya Rivera and Lea Michele's Glee feud resulting in them refusing to speak to one another on set by season six
Glee stars Naya Rivera and Lea Michele famously feuded while filming the Fox musical show
'One of the Glee writers once said that Lea and I were like two sides of the same battery and that about sums us up,' Naya wrote in her memoir. 'We are both strong willed and competitive'
Glee stars Naya Rivera and Lea Michele famously feuded while filming the Fox musical show.
Naya spoke in detail about their rivalry in her 2016 memoir, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up.
'One of the Glee writers once said that Lea and I were like two sides of the same battery and that about sums us up,' she wrote.
'We are both strong willed and competitive - not just with each other but with everyone - and that's not a good mixture.
'As the show progressed, though, that friendship started to break down, especially as Santana moved from a background character to one with bigger plot lines and more screen time.'
The actress went on to say that 'Lea didn't like sharing the spotlight' and that she 'was a lot more sensitive when people offered feedback or criticism.'
The actress went on to say that 'Lea didn't like sharing the spotlight' and that she 'was a lot more sensitive when people offered feedback or criticism'
'If I'd complained about anyone or anything, she'd assumed I was b**ching about her,' Naya recalled.
By season six, Naya claimed that Lea 'didn't say a word' to her on set.
'Lea and I definitely weren't the best of friends, and I doubt we'll ever sit on her couch and eat kale together again, but the rumors of our 'feud' were blown out of proportion,' she concluded.
After Naya's tragic death in 2020, her dad, George, spoke further of their drama in the docuseries The Price Of Glee.
'There was always a fight between them. Always. Everybody knew. Everybody saw it,' George alleged.
'They hated each other but, at the same time, respected each other's talent.'
Star Trek stars William Shatner and George Takei have hurled a series of insults at one another over the years
William Shatner, 91, and George Takei, 85, have been embroiled in a decades-long feud that started while they were filming Star Trek together
In his memoir, William called George a 'loose cannon' and accused him of trying to actually hurt him while they were filming a scene with fencing swords
William Shatner, 91, and George Takei, 85, have been embroiled in a decades-long feud that started while they were filming Star Trek together.
In his memoir, William called George a 'loose cannon' and accused him of trying to actually hurt him while they were filming a scene with fencing swords.
Plus, in his own tome, George alleged that William intentionally refused to acknowledge his presence on set.
Fast forward to 2008, after George did not invite his William to his wedding, the actor went on a scathing rant about his costar.
'There's such a sickness there, it's so painfully obvious that there's a psychosis there,' William said of George during an interview.
'There must be something else inside George that is festering, and it makes him so unhappy that he takes it out on me, in effect a total stranger.'
Their drama ultimately lead to George almost backing out of The Final Frontier.
William also called George 'a disturbed individual' to the Australian press in 2015. Both actors are seen in 2022
'I have a lot of friends in my Star Trek cast, except for one. We had a friendly tension going between us,' George said in a 2014 interview, referring to William.
'And I thought, the best thing to do with Star Trek V, which was being directed by him, was to demur from doing it.'
However, he eventually folded and ended up filming the movie. But their peace didn't last for long.
In an episode of Real Time with Bill Maher later that year, the feud was reignited after George was asked why he didn't like William.
'Canadians have a certain image of being even-tempered and friendly and all that,' George replied. 'Well, he is a person who is that way with himself. He is very self-centered.'
