    In a rare and heartfelt moment on The Jason Lee Show, actress and singer Raven-Symoné opened up about her long-standing relationship with her That’s So Raven co-star Orlando Brown, offering fans an inside look at the complexity of their connection.

    The two starred together on the hit Disney Channel show in the early 2000s, becoming household names and pop culture icons. But as Orlando’s personal struggles—including legal issues and addiction—became public over the years, many fans wondered where things stood between the former co-stars.

    Now, Raven is breaking her silence with honesty and grace.

    “I Have to Be Careful What I Say About Orlando”

    During her candid interview, Raven was transparent about why she approaches conversations about Orlando with a sense of care.

    “I have to be careful about what I say about Orlando because — I’m going to keep it 100, this is a safe space — Orlando is very smart,” she said.
    “His tongue quips are faster than mine, and I know that. He could come off the dome like that.”

    With a snap of her fingers, Raven highlighted Orlando’s quick wit and comedic brilliance, even referencing his early talent as a performer. Her tone was not only cautious but respectful—acknowledging both the genius and the pain that has followed Orlando throughout his public life.

    A Bond That Goes Beyond the Screen

    What truly stood out during the interview was Raven’s acknowledgment of the deep personal history she shares with Orlando.

    “I know his family. I know him. I know him before drugs, after drugs. During God, not during God. And he was a comedic genius—and he’s still making people laugh.”

    With these words, Raven painted a vivid picture of someone who has witnessed Orlando through every phase—before the fame, during the fame, and beyond. Her use of “during God, not during God” is a nod to the public’s awareness of Orlando’s spiritual journey, struggles with substance use, and moments of clarity.

    Her comments serve as a reminder that behind the headlines is a real person who has contributed so much to the world of entertainment.

    Why Raven Chooses to Stay Silent on the Drama

    When asked about her response to some of Orlando’s more controversial public statements in recent years, Raven made it clear that she prioritizes peace over provocation.

    “I’m secure enough in my bank account and my life where I don’t have to dig that deep down to take it. And I also don’t have to defend myself about anything because that was his experience.”

    Rather than clapping back or escalating the drama, Raven emphasized emotional maturity and detachment. She noted that she doesn’t need to validate herself online—especially when dealing with someone she knows so intimately.

    Her ability to stay grounded amidst public speculation was widely praised by fans, many of whom applauded her for not speaking negatively or dismissively about Orlando.

    Fans Praise Raven’s Graceful Handling of a Sensitive Subject

    The internet responded warmly to Raven’s comments, with fans praising her grace, empathy, and maturity. Many noted that she could have used the platform to distance herself or criticize Orlando—but instead, she chose words of love, understanding, and recognition.

    “This is how you speak on people you’ve grown up with—even when it’s complicated,” one fan wrote.
    “She didn’t have to defend herself, but she still showed love. That’s real,” another added.

    Final Thoughts: A Legacy of Love, Not Just Laughter

    Raven-Symoné’s comments shine a new light on the legacy of Orlando Brown, reminding fans that his contribution to television—especially his iconic role on That’s So Raven—should not be forgotten, even amidst his personal struggles.

    By choosing to speak with compassion rather than controversy, Raven reinforces her role as not just a childhood star, but a grown woman navigating complex relationships with empathy and wisdom.

    As she continues to evolve in her career and life, Raven proves that sometimes, the most powerful thing a person can do is speak carefully—especially when love and history are involved.
