Actress Raven-Symoné is speaking out against rumors that she was sexually assaulted by her former TV step-grandfather Bill Cosby.
Symoné, who starred on The Cosby Show from 1989-1992, turned to social media yesterday to shoot down any notion that she was one of Cosby’s alleged victims.
“I was NOT taken advantage of by Mr. Cosby when I was on the Cosby Show!” she said on Instagram. “I was practically a baby on that show and this is truly a disgusting rumor that I want no part of! Everyone on that show treated me with nothing but kindness. Now keep me out of this!”
Symoné was responding to a story published to a parody website, which stated she filed molestation charges against Cosby.
