Raven-Symoné’s Dad Speaks Out in an Open Letter: ‘I Did My Best as a Father…She Says Some Dumb Sh*t’

Raven-Symoné’s dad, Christopher Pearman, is speaking out in support of his daughter — all while acknowledging that ‘she’s a grown ass woman‘ and ‘says some dumb sh*t‘.

His words come after controversy surrounding Raven’s comments about “ghetto names†on The View.

 

In an open letter to his Facebook page, he writes:

 

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 S#%T!

 

 

 

Damn, even her girlfriend  is not here for her.

is it... irony ...

 

that people are telling her dad that they won't buy his book... because his daughter is dumb...

 

 

sort of like how ... Raven validates discriminatory practices, by companies, on the basis of "dumb" names... given to applicants by their parents.... (by Raven's interpretation anyway... the less intellectually stunted of us know that the practice is actually based upon racial prejudice...aka ... racism)

It's sad to see that Raven grew up to hate herself.

It's sad to see that Raven grew up to hate herself.

 

 sadder that i think she loves the self she delusionally see when she looks in the mirror...

 

and hates those who depict what society will actually always see when they look at her...

I feel sorry for her dad, it's not his fault Raven is dumb.

Mess lol. but her dad didnt lie. she was very successful growing up and now she is a mess. hopefully she grows out of this and learns to shut up and think.  im dying at even her gfriend wanting nothing to do with her ignorance.

Real Talk! His response was wise... personally she has been saying and doing dumb shit for a while now... I think she needs help coz she seems more confused than anything...
