‘That’s So Raven’ Star Says She Rejected Disney’s Offer of Progressive New Orientation for Her Character

A lesbian actress said she refused to let 🏰Disney transform her character from straight to gay.

Raven-Symoné, who starred in “That’s So Raven” from 2003 to 2007, said 🏰Disney offered to make her character, Raven Baxter, a lesbian when it was time for the spinoff “Raven’s Home.”

According to Insider, Symoné has been public about her sexual preference since 2013.

And when 🏰Disney wanted to revive her character, she said during a recent episode of the “PRIDE” podcast with Levi Chambers, the company made her an offer she could, in fact, refuse.

“You know what? There was a conversation before the series started, and I was asked the question, ‘Would you like Raven Baxter to be a lesbian?’ And I said no. I said no,” Symoné said.

“The reason I said no wasn’t because I wasn’t proud of who I was, or I didn’t want to represent the LGBTQ+ community in any way,” Symoné said. “It was because Raven Baxter is Raven Baxter is Raven Baxter.”
