I Take It All Back, Raven-Symone

I Take It All Back, Raven-Symone
Earlier today, I said some very mean things about how you need to focus on losing weight right now. That was a short-sighted thing for me to say. I didn’t have all the facts. Now that I have read your most recent MySpace blog, it is clear that your weight is not the most pressing issue you face today. The most pressing issue you face today is your inability to write in English.

Ahem.

I WAS BORN WITH MESSED UP EYE BROWS, LOOK AT THE COSBY SHOW THEY GROW UPSIDE DOWN AND ON THE WRONG EYE. THAT IS MY PARENTS DOING AND MY BROTHER HAS THE SAME ONES. IM SORRY IF I WANT TO GO OUT ONE DAY AND NOT FILL THEM IN. IM SURE OTHER PEOPLE DONT GO OUT ALL THE TIME WITH THEIR FACE BEAT (MAKE-UP TERM, FLAWLESS MAKE UP). MY BODY SIZE; OOOHHH MY GOD!!!! HOW MANY YEARS HAS IT BEEN… IV BEEN ON TV FOR 21 YEARS, AND IV ALWAYS BEEN THICK…..OK!!!!
NOW IF ANYONE KNOWS MY FAMILY, ALL OF THE WOMEN EXCEPT FOR A FEW, STRUGGLE WITH KEEPING WHAT IS A SOCIALLY EXCEPT-ABLE WEIGHT. WHEN I STRESS I GAIN, WHEN IM HAPPY WHO KNOWS… I HAD A LOT OF PERSON THINGS HAPPEN TO ME AT THE END OF THE SHOW, DEALING WITH FAMILY, AND MY EX-BOYFRIEND CHEATED ON ME AND I HAD TO BREAK UP WITH HIM (LISTEN TO LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME, AND SECRETS) AND LIKE ANY FEMALE WITH A PROBLEM, DELT WITH IT A CERTAIN WAY! ID LOVE IF THE INDUSTRY COULD ONE DAY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OBESITY AND FAT AND THICK AND THIN AND SICK. I AM A THICK GIRL, I HAVE NEVER BEEN OVER A SIZE 12, I CAN RUN, AND I TRY MY BEST TO EAT RIGHT ALL THE TIME. I AM NOT THE TEXT BOOK WEIGHT THAT THEY SAY I SHOULD BE, BUT EVERYDAY I HAVE MY OWN PERSONAL STRUGGLES, AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE NEED TO RESPECT THAT.

Except-able, Raven?

Are you ing serious?

AND WHAT’S WITH THE ALL CAPS? IT’S HARDER FOR ME TO BE NICE TO YOU WHEN YOU ARE CONSTANTLY YELLING AT ME.

I’ll tell you what: I’ll take the time out of my day to try to understand your point of view if you’ll put the cheeseburger down for long enough to use a spell-check.

  • Raven,

    Honestly, I am very happy for all that you do and have done. One thing people fail to realize is that famous individuals are human as well. We all have somethings in our life that we have to get a grip on and no one should judge anyone....

    I really don't see what the problem is. You are very intelligent and beautiful young lady. You probably already know this but the haters that are making this a big deal are the ones that truly envy you. Nothing more. They wish they could...

    • I think Raven has just grown up and it doesn't matter how thick she is or what the shape of her eyebrows are, to me, she will always be beautiful and everybody has personal issues. NOBODY IS PERFECT. My advice to Raven Symone is to never give up...
