Actor Olly Sholotan, who plays Carlton Banks on the new “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” reboot, is clapping back at trolls who are mocking his appearance on social media.
“The sinister characteristics the new Carlton possesses on the reboot reimagines the old character in a new light that is resonating with a modern audience,” per Black Enterprise.
Sholotan has clapped back after receiving one too many comments from haters and trolls about his physical appearance.
“Enough is ENOUGH. I’m TIRED. If you’re gonna hate on Carlton at least use a pic with more than 7 pixels,” he tweeted. “This one is HD and you can see the detail in my sweater and a lil powder on my nose,” he said in reference to his character’s substance abuse issues.
“Like @peacockTV spent a lot of money on those cameras let’s honor their creative vision pls,” he jokingly added.

Per the network’s series description, Peacock’s new one-hour drama series “Bel-Air” imagines the beloved sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air“ through a new, dramatic take on Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air. As these two worlds collide, Will reckons with the power of second chances while navigating the conflicts, emotions, and biases of a world far different from the only one he’s ever known.
Executive produced by Will Smith, and inspired by Morgan Cooper’s viral trailer that reimagined the iconic, culture-defining ‘90s sitcom, “Bel-Air“ takes a fresh and raw approach to this world of swagger, style, and aspiration, while exploring Will’s complex journey through a current lens. The new series features an ensemble cast that introduces Jabari Banks as Will and a creative team that includes Cooper, who serves as director, co-writer, and executive producer, and co-showrunners and executive producers T.J. Brady and Rasheed Newson.
