Janet Hubert-Whitten, who played Vivian Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air from 1990-1993, was fired from the show because of her pregnancy. Instead of giving her maternity leave, they simply replaced her with another actress.

The change occured after season 3 and before season 4.
Ms. Janet Hubert-Whitten was fired from "Fresh Prince" following what she described as a feud with network officials. She believed it was some sort of vendetta against her and she did not know the origin of it.
There were reports that she was fired because when she became pregnant, it was a violation of her contract. However, Will Smith claimed that Ms. Janet Hubert-Whitten was a troubled person before, during and after her pregnancy. He also believed that she was jealous of him.

The actress playing Carlton's mom quit the show between seasons and her replacement resumed the character without any proper explanation. No episode was written to explain the change.
