No Gay Love For Raven

Posted by Bossip Staff

Raven Symone is both grown and sexy for all of yall who ain’t know. On her MySpace page she sets the record straight on her engagement, gay love, and her body image:

YES I HAVE DATED PLENTY OF PEOPLE, IM NOT A NEWT, HOWEVER, I NEVER TELL. THE RINGS THAT I WEAR ON MY “RING FINGERS” ARE A GIFT TO MYSELF WHEN THATS SO RAVEN HIT 400 MILLION VIEWERS. I THINK THAT IS WELL DESERVED. MEDIA TAKE OUT IS FUNNY, THEY GET THEIR INFO LIKE THE TELEPHONE GAME…. SOMEONE TELLS THE TRUTH, AND BY THE TIME THE STORY IS TOLD TO THEM, JUST THE NAMES HAVE STAYED THE SAME, BUT THE STORY IS MUCH JUICIER. AND NOT TRUE

I HAVE THIS TO SAY… 1) ITS FALSE THAT IM DATING A GIRL RIGHT NOW. 2)RUDE TO QUESTION SOMETHING SO PERSONAL. WE ARE ALWAYS FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS FOR THE GAY AND LESBIAN COMMUNITY.

MY BODY SIZE; OOOHHH MY GOD!!!! HOW MANY YEARS HAS IT BEEN… IV BEEN ON TV FOR 21 YEARS, AND IV ALWAYS BEEN THICK…..OK!!!!

NOW IF ANYONE KNOWS MY FAMILY, ALL OF THE WOMEN EXCEPT FOR A FEW, STRUGGLE WITH KEEPING WHAT IS A SOCIALLY EXCEPT-ABLE WEIGHT. WHEN I STRESS I GAIN, WHEN IM HAPPY WHO KNOWS… I HAD A LOT OF PERSON THINGS HAPPEN TO ME AT THE END OF THE SHOW, DEALING WITH FAMILY, AND MY EX-BOYFRIEND CHEATED ON ME AND I HAD TO BREAK UP WITH HIM (LISTEN TO LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME, AND SECRETS) AND LIKE ANY FEMALE WITH A PROBLEM, DELT WITH IT A CERTAIN WAY! ID LOVE IF THE INDUSTRY COULD ONE DAY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OBESITY AND FAT AND THICK AND THIN AND SICK. I AM A THICK GIRL, I HAVE NEVER BEEN OVER A SIZE 12, I CAN RUN, AND I TRY MY BEST TO EAT RIGHT ALL THE TIME. I AM NOT THE TEXT BOOK WEIGHT THAT THEY SAY I SHOULD BE, BUT EVERYDAY I HAVE MY OWN PERSONAL STRUGGLES, AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE NEED TO RESPECT THAT.

We respect it, Raven. We’d respect it all night long.

  1. YoYo

    A size 12? Really? I’m gonna give you a 14 just for good measure Raven.

  2. YoYo

    Plus, these are the smallest pictures of her I’ve ever seen. Raven if you want people to respect it, you gotta respect it first.

  3. FineAsWine

    Mediatakeout.com is a *****ing joke……..I heard the owner on Monique in the afternoons and they only have 3 ppl on their staff!!!!!

  4. KayGee

    So basically she is saying she is bi-sexual…

    Her lower body is not really that large, she has those large breast so that may make her appear even larger.

  5. Lyte Bright

    that’s my twin…. love her so much!

  6. shebakescheesecakes.com

    Set em straight Raven…

  7. WordtotheWise

    That’s right, Raven. It’s always easy for people to sit and judge someone else’s weight when they know absolutely nothing about you. People have been so brainwashed by Hollywood. Everyone isn’t a size 3, and just because you might be a size 14 or so doesn’t automatically make you unhealthy. Just continue to do you and be strong. As long as your health is straight, you aren’t hurting anybody.

  8. Laurie Farmer

    Sounds like a well-balanced, confident, emotionally stable and successful Black WOMAN to me.

    Unfortunately, HATERS don’t like her because she is not a drugged-out, unemployed, promiscuos,single mother etc.

    All the best Simone.

    TELL EM’ RAVEN!!!! GO GIRL

  10. m

    yoyo took the words out of my mouth. only difference is i’m thinking more like 16 or 18.

  11. P

    she only looks big because she hides those big ***** succulent *****ies so much.

    i feel like a dirty old man for saying/feeling that.

  12. ♥golden goddess♥

    u tell them haterz Rav!!

  13. Sawyer

    Sawyer’s back…and he’s not complaining about anything as it relates to Raven’s body! A thick, black women…aint nothing better! And who the hell cheats on a women with the kind of doe she playing with? I’d like to meet this fellow and slap the f**k out of him. Stedman aint cheating on Oprah and that man’s talked about like a dog…a very well taken care of dog might I add.

  14. ♥golden goddess♥

    bossip…where the hell u get those pics of Rav they look great!!!

  15. Brook

    oh no. not ‘except-able’. cmon rave…

  16. swoosh

    shut up yoyo

  17. Mediocre at best

    I have alot of respect for this young woman. She has managed to avoid ALL pittfalls that so many young stars seem to step right into. She looks healthy to me, and sounds so very intelligent and articulate. Except for a few grammatical errors, that I will let slide, when you get heated while typing all types of stuff comes out wrong.

  18. UnEEkHeR

    Raven is absolutely beautiful. I just love her… I would love to meet her.

  19. Terminator Hex

    Was that even English? My cat has written more coherent posts just by walking across the keyboard.

  20. scorpionkarma

    They can hate on her all they want the truth is she’s probably going to be the next Oprah. Don’t think she’s not getting paid.

  21. Blackgirl

    KAY-GEE..You WISH..


  22. Yeah, I heard that Raven and Jennifer Freeman were dating, or at least that is what Media Take Out has hinted at. Well, I don’t know what to feel about Raven actually addressing the rumors. Usually, when a rumor is not true, celebrities ignore it or address it when it is brought up. That makes me wonder if Raven is telling the truth about the whole gay thing. I mean, 80% of celebrities are bi-sexual so what is the big deal?

  23. Shardy

    YES RAVEN TELL THEM!!


  24. Media takeout is a joke

    Go -Ahead raven do you

  25. KErry

  29. Oshie - lay down on the floor, I want the Gs and the money or everybody gotta Go

    She got a donk.

  30. LICKABLE

    SHE SAID SHE IS NIT DATING A GIRL RIGHT NOW. dOES THAT MEAN THAT SHE HAS DATED A GIRK BEFORE. SHE ALSO LOOKS BIGGER THAN A SIZE 12, BUT MAYBE SHE JUST LOOKS BIGGER CAUSE SHE’S SHORT BUT SHE IS STILL A PRETTY GIRL

  31. Shanny

    Raven is the business! She stacking cheddar and doing her thang! No man wants to be with a woman who’s skin and bones.

  32. cutie pie*kindly putting people on blast est.1985*We are officially in the sun sign of Libra!!!! Time to rejoice; its my b-day week!! and I don't drink like a fish..I drink like a sailor :p

    do it raven DO IT!!!!

  33. Mickey

    You tell them Raven! She is right about everything she said. I love her and I think that she is someone that young black females in the industry can look up too!

  34. LYKCAN_D

    Never been over a size 12??? I luv Raven… but um, try again… or maybe it’s the chi chi’s cause I’m around that size, but I don’t look as big as her.


  35. Raven hit me up, we can talk all about it. I’ve got 11 inches of self confidence for you………….

  36. whaaa

    yeah i respect her, but i thought she was a lot more educated than that. my 9 year-old brother writes better than she does. c’mon ra, you’re a grown ***** woman…


  37. You go Raven!

    Never mind what haters say ignore um till they fade away….

  38. j03y b

    she said its false aint dating a girl RIGHT NOW???..she sound guilty to me

  39. luise

    Hey,I am a tall girl,because of tall,seems difficult to find a boy friend for me,I am anxiety sometime.Since I joined the club[__"tallhub.com"__],I find

    many good tall admirers,tall guys,tall girls,even models,if you wanna make friends with us, please join us for free.Don’t let love p***** you by.

  40. Lady elle

    she doesn’t have to be thin.

    really …..we come in all sizes just like men what is the big deal about her shape?

    oh yeah that’s right anorexic hollywood…which by the way ^^ck them because they try to create the impossible.

    clons who aren’t able to enjoy their own lives.

  41. mzsweetface

    It’s good to see a young sista doing her thing. In all the time she’s been a celeb you haven’t read of any scandals with Raven. But I have heard that she has a nasty attitude. I hope it’s not true, me and my lil girls love to watch That’s so Raven!

  42. *MiSsUnd3rsto0d*

    i cant front, i read mediatakeout but they know damn well they b lyin half the time lol and as a fellow 21 yr old, i kno wha raven means (not about the size, cuz im a size 5! ;-) ) about people startin untrue rumors and everything..just because u dont see a female *****tn around town doesnt mean shes a lesbian..and those who are really payn attention to her minor gramatical errors, fall back, its my*****e not a english test ;-)

  43. Tracey

    NOTE; She said, I am not dating a girl RIGHT NOW. Never said she never has and there is a big fat diference.

    Most of the child actors are well weird anyway, they do not know what normality is about anyway.

  44. Jay

    I love Raven,she is the ***** in every form..except her grammer, but other than that..do you boo..no hating here.

  45. JorgeOoOoOo

    I would wife Raven up…all that money she got you’d be crazy not to. I could be her stedmen!!! Let me get some of those checks!!!

  46. pm

    I think she is funny as hell..ya i’m damn grown to be watchin that so raven reruns.

  47. TaShA

    i feel everything she’s saying…but i think it’s messed up that she had to say ANYTHING at all. if ppl would stop being so judgemental and realize that celebrities are still HUMAN, setting the record straight wouldn’t even be necessary. raven is extremely successful and talented and i hope that things continue to work out for her. at the end of the day, she’s a young 20 something woman, just like i am…and at this age, you have problems (guys, fam, etc.). so,she has my sympathy. i just hope she stops worrying about the haters and continues to motivate herself to be EVEN MORE successful.

  48. JoJo69

    @ Brook(Check me out!)

    oh no. not ‘except-able’. cmon rave…

    ————————————————–

    Did she write this or did they interview her via phone? If they interviewed her via phone then it is the writers who did not spell that correctly.


  49. for one, raven is only like 5 foot so a size twelve may look big in person but on tv it would look huge! dont be hatin….


  50. Raven is not fat…because she is short and are breast are so big she looks fat the doesn’t even have tires/big belly) I measure how fat you are from the size of your belly and hers is flat. Size matters to me because I’m scared of not being able to take around my own weight i’m currently a stick because of genes.

    I’ve always liked her, she’s grounded and she looks gorgeous. Plus a great role model!!! Aint nothing wrong with girls dating girls.

  53. Its6amHoGetOut

    You hoes are crazy, you know damn well if this girl didnt have money she’d be just another fat ***** with big *****ies and a pretty face, and KiKi if shes not fat, convince her to put on a bikini.

    @ K-Mia,

    Theres nothing wrong with girls dating girls as long as both *****es are fine!

    We’ve all seen those bulldyke *****es with the mustache, nappy beard, pendleton shirts with the arms cut out, timberland and levi’s 501’s and the smell like chili dogs with onions.

  57. Its6amHoGetOut

    @ MsK,

    I bet you she has a sex tape, just watch.


  58. have always thought she was annoying since the cosby show but love her for taking a stand against that whack ***** website

  59. K-mia

  60. jas

    SHE’D BE SO MUCH PRETTIER IF SHE WAS SMALLER…

  61. lilmomma

    Raven is gorgeous & I am so proud of her for being respectable and private. I would rather have my daughter turn out like her than any other child star. Miley, Britney, Ashley Tisdale, even Vanessa Hudgens ain’t got ***** on Raven, poor, fugly white trash hos.

Miley, Britney, Ashley Tisdale, even Vanessa Hudgens ain’t got ***** on Raven, poor, fugly white trash hos. It’s sad how people that are positive get no love.

  63. Kesha: (I BLEED BLACK-N-GOLD) Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it!

    I Love Raven!

    Do your thang girl!

    Hey K-mia!

  64. JJ

    I am proud of Raven, no matter whose raving about her.

  65. JJ

    I am proud of Raven, no matter whose raving about her. while we’re writing blogs about you, you keep writing checks about you.

  66. sunshynz3001

    Love ya’, Raven! But please get a new stylist.

    You are too pretty to be wearing such ugly clothes.

  67. j03y b

    she like a thick fat….she got low mileage on her too,,i’d nutt in her and cuff her up!

  68. dqueen

    oh yall/ she look good!!! She is lookin high style and just fine what is all the negative fuss about??? I dont know. I see she be wearing them black girl hair styles and that dress is real cute it remind me of them ol composition books with the black and white from the school days. I say hey she look good girl oh yes she do.


  69. wow! i need u 2 vote 4 me go to my*****e.com/rairaib

  70. Ro Ro

    I know that’s right Raven!! Tell em honey. There is a BIG difference in being obeist, thick, skinny and just plain sick looking.

    I think she is a beautiful girl. I do find her to look a bit swollen from time to time but no matter what she is always sharp and always appears to me as a respectable young lady. I like that she is happy with who she is and does not or should not have to apologize. I am happy that she admits to having up and down days because that makes her so much more human.

    Raven you will always be that sweet lil Olivia to me…and that silly ***** RAVEN in That’s so Raven.

    :)

  71. shavon denise

    Good for you Raven!! I like how she said, “I’m not dating a girl, right now!” That was cute. I think she’s really finding who she is because alot of younger and even some older people would have come out swinging if someone questioned their sexuality. To me defensiveness is a sign of guilt. I like her response. I think more celebs need to directly respond rumors more and not be picked on!

  72. BE

    Raven did not owe any answers to Bossip or Media…. she is filthy rich because of her talent!

    If she does not want to be a size 2 then that is her business she is still making money!

    I wonder what the “other sites” say about her weight, black people always trying to tear each other apart…some dumb *****es!

  73. Ro Ro

    “Raven is gorgeous & I am so proud of her for being respectable and private. I would rather have my daughter turn out like her than any other child star.

    AMEN TO THAT. (SORRY I posted your whole comment lil Momma but I felt like you hit it right on the nose)

  74. Encyclopedia Brown

    Olivia is beyond thick and no longer cute

    Fact

  75. homie

    Naw Raven is nice and thick! And while I don’t mind her doing her thang with a girl, i would be equally excited knowing a guy was knocking her down as well. Go ahead, Raven!! We all gotta a lil freaky deaky in us.

  76. elle

    Raven is gorgeous, no matter her size! She is not fat. To hell with the media! The media’ll make you kill your damn self.

    Ridiculous.

  77. danadane

    in Hollyweird a 12 is real 14/16 hon……without spanx…..an 18

  78. danadane

    in Hollyweird a 12 is real 14/16 hon……without spanx…..an 18. When keeping it real goes wrong

  79. ATXChick

    ITS ALL ABOUT HOW YOU CARRY YOURSELF TO ME I THINK SHE IS BEATIFUL (NO HOMO) SHE AINT SLOPPY AT ALL. SHE WEARS CLOTHES THAT FIT HER. SHE LOOKS GOOD F*CK THOSE HATAS RAVEN!!

  80. Booyah

    Size 12? Who does she think she’s fooling? All that money and she can’t afford a personal trainer and some self-discipline? That fat lard-***** gives bad examples to young women that it’s ok to be a lazy glutton.

  81. Bella

    RAVEN IF HALF OF THESE LITTLE BLACK GRILS HAD PARENTS LIKE YOU AND LISTEND LIKE YOU DID. PUT ACTING TO THE SIDE, THEY WOULD GO ON TO BE WELL BALANCED LIKE YOU. NO I KNOW YOU ARE NOT PERFECT. BUT YOU HAVE HELDED IT DOWN AND I AM PROUD OF THE WAY YOU HAVE TURNED OUT. YOU DON’T EMBAR***** YOUR PARENTS. THEY SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOU TOO. KEEP DOING YOU AND KEEP BEING POSTIVE AND RESPECTING OF YOUR SELF.

  82. blaq

    I applaud her for being herself not being defined by others opinions and standing up for herself. You didnt see minorities in commercials until people made a fuss, the women on TV are getting larger, darker, and more diverse. This young woman is a trendsetter, a role model and is kicking down doors for future entertainers, wasn’t she the first black female on disney with her own show? definately the first normal sized black woman, she’s not skinny or watered down. Love her!!!

  83. Terminator Hex

    “Miley, Britney, Ashley Tisdale, even Vanessa Hudgens ain’t got ***** on Raven, poor, fugly white trash hos. It’s sad how people that are positive get no love.”

    Good ol’ Bossip! It’s not racist if it’s about Whitey, but if you say something about “fugly black ghetto rats” there’ll be a petition online within five minutes calling for Al and Jesse. Double standards, *****es! They excuse ANYTHING!

  84. dfiestyone

    Whether she did now or in the past, WHO CARES???? She’s grown and she’s not asking anyone for a dayum thing because she’s handling her bizzness so to the haters, I suggest you do the same!!! It’s not that serious!! Whomever she is seeing or sexing, please tell me HOW does that affect YOUR LIFE??? GET A LIFE people and worry about your own (I’m only talking to the people who always have something negative to say about others)!!!

    Raven, keep on doing what you do ma!!!! Keep stacking those chips!! You look very nice so keep that up too!!

    Some of these people, will drive you to drinking or smoking rocks if you actually listened to theis hatin’ azzes long enough!! SMDH!

  85. Ya Boy KJ

    ***** you fat! I hate when **********ers refer to their weight as “thick” when they are just too overweight. THICK is having a “little” extra meat and still having that curvy shape (not including the gut.) THAT’S THICK… you ma’am are fat…

  86. HAMMA TIME

    YO..I’M A REAL MAN AND I THINK YALL STICK FIGURE ITCHES IS HATIN HARD!!!! TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU MEN WANT A WOMAN WIT A LIL SUM SUM ON ‘EM.. DONT BELIEVE IT??? JUST GO CHECK OUT SOME YAHOO GROUPS AND SEE FOR URSELF…WOMEN BE LIKE 3-4-5 TIMES HER SIZE GETTN MAD HITS FROM DUDES.PERSONALLY I THINK YALL SKINNY ITCHES GET JEALOUS TO SEE BROTHAS HOLLA AT WHAT YALL CALL FAT. EVEN IF SHE IS ACTUALLY A 16/18 SHE STILL LOOK HELLA GOOD AND PROPORTIONED.SHE IS FINE AS HELL!! NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM FAT OR UNFLATTERING. OH AND IF SOME OF YALL GONNA CORRECT HER “GRAMMAR” YOU MIGHT WANNA DO A SPELL CHECK YA SELF…NO “E” BEEF JUST TRYING TO POINT PUT THAT WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES WHEN TYPING

  87. 2cute4u♥♥♥

    Ok…

  88. ForReal

    Raven, you need to start sticking a finger down your throat.


  89. Raven is the a strong black young lady.

    Enough said.

    Vote for Obama/Biden on November 4!

  90. 2cute4u♥♥♥

    Bossip ya’ll are always putting up these fugly pictures of Raven, now why can’t ya’ll throw up her good photos like these every once in a while! These pics are great.

  91. 2cute4u♥♥♥

    ForReal(Check me out!)

    Raven, you need to start sticking a finger down your throat.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    That comment was so ignorant and unnecessary.

  92. tamarra laine

    she’s gotten bigger over the years….and its frusterating to see bc SHE herself seems VERY uncomfortable!

    I just wish instead of saying her whole family is big she would just go on celebrity fit club or something……

    I mean Im not tryna be an ***** or sound like I don’t give a damn….the thing is I just don’t BUY it. I don’t think she’s happy with her size bc she feels the need to address it SO damn much!

  93. spasticfantastic

    i’d go bi for raven. even if she is gay/bi, at least she picked a better looking girl than lindsay did. when you go gay you UPGRADE, ladies!

  94. HAMMA TIME

    SHE ADDRESSES IT BECAUSE HATERS KEEP MAKING NEGATIVE COMMENTS!NOT TRYING TO STEREOTYPE BUT ALL WOMEN DO IT IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. SO WHY IS SHE DIFFERENT? AND LIKE SOMEONE ELSE SAID WHY DOES IT SEEM TO BBOTHER ALL OF YOU SO MUCH HOW SHE LOOKS, THINKS AND FEELS?

  95. Ya Boy KJ

    YO SHE’S FAT… BOTTOM LINE. not even an insult… just the TRUTH

  96. kenken

    if this pic is recent, she looks like she’s slimming down. she is too young (and without children) to be that big..there’s really no reason for it. but i do love that she is so positive. allright raven don’t make me eat my words, i don’t want to see you all toned and fit posing for some skin mag next year. oh and i’m glad she fixed that eyebrow thing she had going on back in the day.

  97. Hmmm...

    Who cares if she’s a 12,16 or 18. I commend her for being proud and sure of who she is. Go Raven.

  98. Natasha

    People continue to focus on Ravens weight and it is sad to me. When I see a pic of her I do not even go into the comment section because I know what people will say. I know Raven struggles with her weight like most women do and it makes it even harder when the world watches you! I am sick of the weight haters!!! If you are uncomfortable with Raven 9 times out of 10 you have a problem with yourself!!!!! Women who are the hardest on other women do not have the courage to work on themselves so it is easier to scapegoat another woman. Raven is a beautiful person inside and out! She is a role model and needs to be respected more in the entertainment industry.

  99. Hmmm...

    @ Natasha;So true.

  100. Aoki Lee

    I loves Raven! I think she’s a wonderful role model for my younger sisters…I have to admit she got on my last nerves as Olivia but she won me over on her ‘That’s So Raven’ tv show

  101. #1lurker

    go Raven! go Raven!

  102. Mr BlowStacks

    Yo Raven I hope you read this my man was clown for cheating on you. If it was me we’d be eating bbq and drinking patron together all day. YA DIG!

  103. General

    She looks just right on that Pic…

    i would take her ***** down!!!

  104. K-mia

    Hey Kesha!!! :)

  105. MzTee

    Respect her gansta, y’all.

    Raven may be grown but she ain’t sexy. She wasn’t cute as a kid to me and she just look alright now; but, she’s a strong, hard-working young lady that can be considered a role model for young sistas. And, for that fact alone I commend her.


  106. she is beautiful.

    i think she is very strong willed too.

    good role model.

    great business person.

    who gives a ***** about her size?

    shes a cutie.

  107. SMS

    Well it’s good she is defending herself. She isn’t obese…Though her episode of PUNK’D she was kinda big.

  108. Flawdagurl {.. impatiently waiting for the 24th!!!}

    i think she is cute no homo!

  109. blackgirl

    MzTee…I agree. Raven is not what is traditionally considered beautiful-big or small. However, I think she is just as beautiful as anyone else because she is positive, working, and doing her thing. You really can’t ask for more. She is blessed and it could be waaaaaayyyy worse than being 2 pounds overweight(lets face it, she isn’t big…period). She’s healthy and when she gets a few more years on her, she will care less about what folks that don’t matter think. I’m sure Serena has heard her share of “you too big” but she is living the life….because she is “too big”. Everybody can’t look the same folks. 12 million copies of light skin, size 1, long weave/hair is boring.

  110. bee bee

    You go, Raven!!!! You went from a cute, adorable kid to a beautiful young woman.

    It’s hard enough growing up when you don’t live in the spotlight. Can you imagine what this kid has gone through having her weight discussed in the press and now having her sexuality discussed in the press too?

    We should be so proud of this young lady. She doesn’t dress like she gets her wardrobe from Frederick’s of Hollywood. She doesn’t sing songs with suggestive lyrics like some her age do. She hasn’t been spotted drunk or high in public. She wasn’t a teenage mother, etc. etc. etc. Give the kid a break!!!

    This kid is doing big things for herself. She’s working hard and making her own money. Isn’t she someone we’d want as a role model for our daughters, nieces, little sisters, etc.,?

    And if the girl said she ain’t gay, then let’s take her at her word. Just because she chose to respond to the rumors doesn’t mean she’s trying to cover something up. Some people fight back when they’re accused of stuff. Others ignore accusations against them. Neither option is an indication of guilt or innocence.

    Raven, keep doing what you do, Baby Girl!!!!

  111. MISSISSIPPI LIBRARIAN

    RAVEN IS A BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN WHO IS SO WELL GROUNDED AND SO FUNNY. I STILL WATCH THATS SO RAVEN ON SATURDAYS, EVEN IF THEY ARE RERUNS. SHE HAS SOME OF THE FUNNIEST FACIAL EXPRESSIONS I HAVE EVER SEEN. SO RAVEN, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND DON’T EVER LET ANYONE OR THEIR OPINIONS DEFINE YOU – YOU ARE DOING A GOOD JOB OF DEFINING YOURSELF!

    She’s no longer a tween and her ***** is circling the drain.Besides,what the hell she doing bearing herself to us for. we don’t give a *****! Really!

    She’ll end up 40 and heavy as a whale. She better hope she can find her second wind before she ends up in B actress hell. You know what I’m talking about. She’ll be the fat, bossy fat chick with a blue collar on again/off again boyfriend straight out of Good Times. All the while, the hot white and latin girls on the show will get all the six pack *****. Yeah, there would be an episode where they take her to a male strip club and when the mandingo approaches with his ***** in her face, she’d start fanning her herself like she just had a bucket of hot wings! You know what I’m saying!

  115. Hi Haters!! This is one hateful world. What does it matter if she’s fat or not? And as far as her being bi-sexual, how does her personal preference effect you? Well I guess like Kat Williams said LET THE HATERS DO THEIR JOB!!!


  116. Black Woman, you first need to check yourself before you can begin to comment on someone else. I know that everyone has a right to their opinion but damn girl you can’t even speak proper english. First you need to educate yourself so that the rest of you can be appealing. You go Raven!! You have a lot of admirers!!


  117. Raven looks good to me. For once I would like to see some of these blog writers.

    This is amazing that people are giving this young, black girl grief over her weight.

    She’s gorgeous. She’s successful and living her life with pride and integrity. She’s one of the richest young stars out there..black or white! The girl has managed to create an empire out of her brand….and not by showing her cootie and acting skanky!

    She deserves props and then some.

    Again, if she’s gay…so freakin’what! That’s her business, not yours.

    Raven defines herself and that’s the only way to do it, because it’s impossible and crazy to try and meet up to other people’s standards of beauty or anything else.

    Go Raven Simone!

    Hold up, All these people making comments about her grammar, Who cares?? Obviously she is smart, she grew up around Bill Crosby, he doesn’t settle for less. Even if she never acts again, she is going to be better off than all of us. Do you Raven! Great role model!

  125. Graphixmeister

    Raven ain’t datin’ no woman. She’s dating Entenmann’s Donuts, Cookies and Cakes.

  126. Francesca

    She was such a pretty child. It’s hard to believe that’s really Olivia.

  127. Toni

    I always felt that something was different about her. She is very young and dresses like and old freaky Successful black woman.Didn’t think she was Bi thats just greedy. eat to much and want men and women pick one.
