Phylicia Rashad is receiving backlash over supporting Bill Cosby from another television star.

On Wednesday, when Cosby's criminal conviction was overturned and he was released from prison, Rashad took to Twitter to celebrate her former "Cosby Show" co-star's freedom.

It wasn't long before she drew public ire from supporters of Cosby's accusers and now, "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" Janet Hubert has called out the TV icon.

"Phylicia what are you thinking!!! I don't know you but to say this was terribly wrong. EVERYONE knew what he was doing back then," she wrote. "How could you NOT! Get your umbrella sista here comes the shit shower. I am outraged that he has been released. Yes he is an old a-- guilty man!"

"I would have said he's old he's out and I'm happy for him, but he still ...guilty. I know 5 women who have not come forward," the actress added. "Enough Ya'll we know better. Powerful men do wrong things, black or white..."

Reps for Rashad did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

Cosby had served over two years of a three to 10-year sentence at a state prison near Philadelphia when his conviction was overturned on a technicality on Wednesday.
