Raven-Symoné just keeps digging herself deeper and deeper! If you aren’t update to date with her latest shenanigans, she made a comment about “ghetto names” on the View. She’s been catching so much criticism; someone even went as far as penning a letter to white people giving Raven to them and disowning her from the African-American culture.
As of her recent, her father has also penned a letter via Facebook voicing his concern in regards to his daughter. In a nutshell, he acknowledged that “she’s a grown a– woman” but she she “says some dumb s—.”
Here’s what daddy had to say:
To My Dear Friends,
There has been much talk today about my daughters comments on her show The View. People have been hitting me up all night questioning me about her remarks. Let me say this……I haven’t managed Ravens career in over 10 years. This woman is grown, has her own management team, has her own opinions, right or wrong, and is responsible for her own words and actions. A woman wrote to me tonight and said she couldn’t support my book because of the words of my daughter. What she fails to realize is that my book is about teaching your child to believe and achieve. Raven has achieved incredible success, and this cannot be denied!
Children grow up and become influenced by many things, situations and people. I certainly don’t agree with what she said….but she is damn near thirty years old. She’s a grown ass woman making grown ass mistakes. We all have been guilty of this.
I did my best as her father, mentor and career manager. I believe I did a Wonderful job. Aside from this inexcusable gaffe, her 29 years in the entertainment industry has been quite successful, for there have been only an Elite Few Child Stars to last this long and have little to no controversy. For this, I am Very Proud!
Raven is a really Beautiful, Sweethearted, Human Being. I should know. Her Mother and I Love her Very much and will always support her and have her back. Even if sometimes……….she says some dumb S#%T!

You have to respect that…
I don’t see anything wrong in what he said! Not buying his book because of his daughter is a a bit much, but each to their own I guess.
This is the most respectful read every!! Although, I personally have a select words that i want to say to Raven, I respect what her father had to say and hopefully she will not have any animosity towards him.
Anything she says should be taken in the context that it is given and that is within the perspective of a child star. Although grown she speaks like a child that does not have the capacity to think things through. She is extra regular at best.
