IKR, the title makes it seem she disappeared, she was missing She isn't missing, definitely ain't broke and always working. She said she never spent the money from the Cosby show She has a reboot of that's so Raven, her character has kids. She is the only Black person, who got a reboot of their tv sitcom show from the 90's or early 00's There has been plenty of White tv sitcom reboots like Rosanne the Conner's and Fuller House. While fans where hoping Martin, Girlfriends, Living Single, Sister Sister, Family Matters or Fresh Prince of Bel- Air would do a reboot (Peacock Bel air remake doesn't count, it's a drama and not with the Fresh Prince cast) She has her reboot now, she will always have work. The problem is Disney need to keep there promise, and give fans. The Proud family reboot they have been promised for yrs🤔

[@ishy6875]

Parents need to stop pimping their kids out to acting/modeling services unless their kid has explicitly stated that this is something they'd be interested in doing, and even then it entirely depends on the age of the child.

[@doctordl7757]

Yea it's abuse and it's called "grooming"

[@doctordl7757]

@BamQuazamGaming you are the one who needs to be educated.

[@ZebraLens]

@@doctordl7757 That's a broad statement. Most of your favorite celebrities started as child stars, same with athletes; many started playing/training when they were young because parents put them in sports/dance/acting/singing etc. It's not pimping your kids out in the broad context. I get what you mean cause I'm sure there are some parents that force, but that's not for us to say. There would be no Jackson 5 (or Michael/Janet), The Emotions, Regina King, Leo DiCaprio, Stevie Wonder, Pace Sisters, and there definitely wouldn't be the Clark Sisters. This is just a short list, but I know you get the point. Again, I understand what you are saying, maybe word it differently lol 😊

[@katinawhitley9340]

Parents had her doing modeling gigs at 2 & 3 yrs old that's crazy..

[@monadejaneiro]

This situation is different tho cause Raven wanted to do it. Well at lease to be on The Cosby show. After that they kept her working idk if she wanted that

[@JaeRocReacts]

its crazy how she stayed normal until she got older. That’s So Raven era, she was one of those most gorgeous females ive ever seen. her momentum back then was so strong, i thought she was gonna take over as she evolved. then ….the industry energy finally got her. she seemed to be goin thru somethin mentally. she became the exact OPPOSITE of who i thought she’d be.

[@js_programmer8423]

What is normal ? Like really tho. Why do we have to appease everyone, maybe her right now is actually her being normal for the first time in her life and second.. why is it always “what happened to etc..” nothing happened. People get older. You never hear someone say “what happened to Carrie Underwood” but in black culture everyone who is doing something every 5 seconds automatically associated with falling off

[@JaeRocReacts]

Being an adolescent and solely responsible for keeping your parent's lavish lifestyle going is not 'normal.' She was never given a chance to be a kid off-screen. Also, mental illness/evaluations were not expected for child actors.

Raven started out in Hollywood at such a young age and put in so much work...from the Cosby Show to the music career and Hanging With Mr Cooper to That's So Raven...She was one of the main reasons why the Cheetah Girls movies were successful...I remember seeing her on " Empire"...playing Jamal's ex girl and Lucius's secret baby mama ...she brought a much needed synergy to a show that was already declining (except for Taraji P Henson who thrived and eventually out grew that show)...but then she fell back from acting...she did the Talk Show thang and sometimes I did not like what she had to say...it was like she was at odds with almost everything and everybody...now that She has revealed her alternative lifestyle choice and sexual orientation...she seems to be more comfortable with her self professionally eventhough she went back to the comfortable and safe role of playing Raven Baxter for the Disney channel again . .she has been a ground breaking actress who became a executive producer and took control of her brand ...paving the way for actresses like Marsai Martin!

You misunderstand. "They" didn't do anything. She just got so used to working that that's all she new how to do.

[@kendricjones3728]

'I Love Lucy' was about Lucy's and Ethel's (high jinx) together. To acknowledge all of BLACK contributions as a part of the fabric of America 'Martin' the historical television show must be mentioned. Gina's and Pam's (high jinx) together in the pantheon of (Physical Comedy) should be part of this conversation. Raven came later to (Physical Comedy) and surely learned from all the above.

What happened? Privilege and excess. Happy she is gay black women BUT she lost all sense of who she is, her culture and the people who helped get her where she is. Amandla Stenberg and Wanda Sykes both have white wives/girlfriends but their blackness is never questioned like it is with Raven. She sold out, plain and simple.

[@Manny-nm8dh]

Who right is it to question her "blackness"? What does that entail anyway, or is that just some meaningless word we've thrown around for decades now that is not quantifiable.

[@maxdondada]

@@Manny-nm8dh I don't have the right, nor does anyone to question her blackness. True. But we do question her acknowledgement of her own blackness. based on her past statements. You're wrong to say blackness can't be quantified. If you say "I am not African American i.e. black but simply an American" you negate everything about you that is special. Moreover you desecrate the history and sacrifice of your forebearers. Blackness is an identity one that Ravyn clearly rejects.

Hollywood destroys.

[@denverleatherboy]

She's absolutely right about the whole "Olsen Twins" thing. But, the twins were also the first, so by the time Hollywood realized it might work with other actors, the whole thing died. HOWEVER, she has been PROVEN right with Movie's like "Encanto" which are finally showing that you can show more than just pretty white kids, and a huge audience will still relate. And, in fact, finally a NEW audience will relate. Whether she knows it or not, Raven did that too. I can't blame or even understand the depths of the chip she's carried. But, my hope is that she can burn that chip to fuel the fires of inspiration. She knows now what should have been, she has the power and skill to create it. I look forward to seeing where she takes it. ON A SIDE NOTE> Don't be mad because you still look incredibly young. Embrace it! I wish I could look younger. But, your age is betrayed by your wisdom. Let them assume youth, let them assume inexperience, and let them make their racial judgments. Just shine, Shine for every kid who is afraid to. So they see someone who isn't.

[@mrswjr4061]

The Olsen Twins are “twins”…that was the whole appeal. If Raven had an identical twin you better believe Hollywood would have made videos and exploited both of them for all the money they could have squeezed out of them.
