The seductive villainess, Janice Robertson
Janice Robertson (Pam Grier) is the villainess from "M Is for the Many Things She Gave Me," episode 4.22 of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Janice Robertson is an old college flame of Philip Banks, and her presence at the Banks' house already caused jealousy from Vivian, due to Phil's bonding with Janice. She is also the mother of Wendy Robertson, who later went on a date with Will (who won a bet with Carlton over her affections).
After dropping Wendy off at her hotel room, Will encountered Janice, who invited him inside her own room. Janice began turning villainous when she resurfaced wearing a red robe, which made Will nervous. She later showed Will some photos of her from her college days, including one of her not wearing anything, continuing her seduction. Will rushes to leave Janice's room, but at that moment, Janice informs Will that he is not going anywhere and later engages in a sexual tryst with Will without his consent, revealing her true nature.
The next day, Janice encounters Will at the Banks' house again while he is on a date with her daughter Wendy and continued to manipulate him, showing concern only for her own appearance if her secret was found out. During the family barbecue, Janice then turns her attention over to Phillip and, knowing his continual unrequited feelings for her, invites him over to her hotel for dinner that evening, prompting Will to intervene and confess his secret to Phil who is so horrified that he blurts out Janice's secret to everybody. Even after the revelation, Janice showed little remorse and stated that it wasn't a big deal. She again flirted with Phil, but he resisted her and showed his devotion to Vivian.
