When speaking on the comments made by his co-stars, Jaleel White humorously pointed out, "They're also over 70, and I've been told not to argue with my elders from the time I was 12 years old." He suggests that their perceptions might be based on miscommunications or differing viewpoints on what 'difficult' means.
Reflecting on his childhood on set, White recounted, "As a 13-year-old kid, anytime I was called to set, I always brought my basketball. It was tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap constantly, which annoyed everybody." This highlights a playful side of him that adds context to how he was perceived.
In a moment of self-reflection, White stated, "I'll be self-aware enough to say, 'okay,' if my behavior was labeled 'difficult.' Perhaps there are more meaningful things behind that description than just antics on set." This response illustrates maturity and a willingness to understand different perspectives.
White also remarked on the claims made by his co-star Payton, saying, ‘If that is the extent to which I was called 'difficult,' then okay. I digress.’ This showcases how he chooses to navigate their criticisms with humor and grace.
