Alexis Arquette has lashed out on Facebook at Will and Jada Pinkett Smith a day after the Magic Mike XXL actress announced she is boycotting the Oscars because no black actors were nominated this year. Arquette claims both Will and Jada are gay and refuse to admit it.

Arquette, who was born Robert Arquette, has slammed the Smiths in a Facebook post that has now been deleted. The post comes a day after Jada said she was boycotting the Oscars.

Alexis, whose actor siblings include Rosanna, Patricia, Richmond, and David Arquette, alleges that both of the Smiths are gay.

Arquette posted: "When Jada comes out as Gay and her beard husband admits his first marriage ended when she walked in to him butt servicing his Sugar Daddy Benny Medina ..then I will listen to them." The actress later added in the comment section of her post: "She being his FIRST wife. Paid off, silent."

Smith and Sheree Zampino divorced in 1995 and the actor married Jada two years later in 1997. Alexis also claimed, "Will threw a fit on the set of Six Degrees of Separation when he was required by the scene to kiss Anthony Rapp. He persuaded the director to shoot the back of his head in frame. Blocking the non existent lip lock entirely. "F*ck him.Gays have enemies. They lurk in gilded closets.Outing is healthy.You are either with or against us. You decide. Today."

The Smiths have yet to comment on Arquette's remarks. Pinkett Smith complained about the Oscar nominations not including any black actors this year, adding they can entertain and present awards but are rarely "recognized."

At the Oscars...people of color are always welcomed to give out awards...even entertain, but we are rarely recognized... Posted by Jada Pinkett Smith on Saturday, January 16, 2016

Jada posted a video on Facebook stating she was boycotting the Oscars due to the lack of diversity in the nominees.

We must stand in our power.

Pinkett Smith's comments angered many, with Will's former co-star on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Janet Hubert going after the couple in her own video on Facebook.

She stated, "First of all, Miss Thing, does your man not have a mouth of his own with which to speak? The second thing, girlfriend, there’s a lot of sh*t going on in the world that you all don’t seem to recognize. People are dying.

"Our boys are being shot left and right. People are starving. People are trying to pay bills. And you’re talking about some f*cking actors and Oscars. It just ain’t that deep."


The Smiths.

Hubert also had harsh words for her former co-star, claiming he refused to negotiate for salary increases alongside the entire cast years ago. Hubert, who played Aunt Viv on the sitcom, adds, "Well karma must be a bitch, cause now here you are. Here you are, you’ve had a few flops and you know there are those out there who really deserved a nod."
