Raven Symone Criticized For Weight

by Betsy on Celebs

Raven Symone, the bubbly actress from She’s So Raven and The Cosby Show has been a hefty girl for years. She’s always been one to impress her weight instead of going on fad diets and yo-yoing on the scales. Recently, her co-host Debbie Allen was interviewed by US Weekly to promote her new film Fame. However, when Allen explained that her younger fans know her because of her work with Symone, she referred to Symone as a ‘heifer.’

“I was wondering how they knew me and then they say, ‘Do you know Raven?’ I’m like, ‘Of course, I know that little heifer! I love that girl.’”

Granted, it’s possible that Allen meant it as a term of endearment, especially since she went on to say she loved her, but the tabloids have misconstrued it and claiming that Allen was criticizing the 23-year-old actress. This isn’t the first time Symone has been targeted but she always takes it in stride. She said,

“I’m healthy, I exercise, I believe in myself, and I think I’m beautiful. You just have to learn how to transform the pressures into something that doesn’t soak into you on a personal level. You see it, you breathe past it, you don’t let it sink into your self-esteem.”
