Raven-Symoné Explains Why She Remains Silent on Orlando Brown’s Controversial Remarks

NEW YORK, NY — Raven-Symoné recently opened up about her relationship with former co-star Orlando Brown during an appearance on “The Jason Lee Show.” The actress discussed her decision to remain largely silent on Brown’s controversial statements about her, emphasizing her confidence and security in her current life.

“I have to be careful about what I say about Orlando because — I’m going to keep it 100, this is a safe space — Orlando is very smart,” Raven-Symoné said. “His tongue quips are faster than mine, and I know that. He could come off the dome like that.” She acknowledged knowing Brown for a long time, reflecting on their shared history while starring in Disney‘s hit series “That’s So Raven” from 2003 to 2007.

Soon after reiterating their close relationship, Raven-Symoné emphasized her determination not to engage in drama. “I’m secure enough in my bank account and my life where I don’t have to dig that deep down to take it,” she explained. “And I also don’t have to defend myself about anything because that was his experience.”

Raven-Symoné continued to show compassion for Brown, describing him as a comedic genius despite his struggles. “I know his family. I know him before drugs, after drugs, during God, not during God. He was a comedic genius and he’s still making people laugh,” she highlighted.

Fans of the show have responded positively to Raven’s respectful approach, with many praising her ability to keep the tone of the conversation cordial. One listener commented, “I like how she didn’t do him wrong, she showed him love bro.” Another supporter added, “She still has love for that man, she spoke so nice about him and has been keeping up with his shenanigans.”

While Raven-Symoné is focused on her own projects, including her game show “Scrabble” on the CW network, Brown’s erratic behavior has recently captured headlines. He has made numerous claims regarding their past, including, most notably, allegations of a sexual relationship, all of which Raven-Symoné chose not to address directly.

Reflecting on their time together, she remarked, “I worked with him for seven years, day in and day out. That’s nothing.” She underscored her familiarity with Brown’s complex history, yet maintained her stance of not corroborating his outlandish claims.

This recent discourse adds another layer to their complicated relationship that has intrigued fans for years. As Raven-Symoné continues to navigate her career and personal life, her remarks suggest a desire to keep their past respectful and undramatic.
