Following Raven Symone’s harsh comments about ghetto names on her talk show, The View, she received a load of backlash from the masses. Many were upset about her shameless prejudice against people with names she considered ghetto, especially because the concept is so subjective; it is all based on opinion.
Her father, Christopher Pearman shared his thoughts on what was happening with his daughter. he made it clear that he loves her and supports her through all of her decisions, but that she is a grown woman with her own opinions and ideas. He wants the world to know that he doesn’t agree with what she said, but people should understand that everyone makes mistakes.
He shared this on his Facebook page:
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 Shit!

Maybe she is actually a sweetheart like he claims, but the world will never know that if she continues to make offensive remarks. Actions speak louder than words!
