Raven-Symone slams rumors Bill Cosby sexually assaulted her
Raven-Symone, who rose to fame playing Bill Cosby's step-granddaughter on "The Cosby Show," is speaking out against rumors that the comedian sexually assaulted her.
The actress took to social media on Wednesday to slam the speculation -- which apparently stemmed from a story on a parody website that claimed she was a victim of Cosby's after the hit show ended.
"I was NOT taking advantage of by Mr. Cosby when I was on the Cosby Show! I was practically a baby on that show and this is truly a disgusting rumor that I want no part of!" she wrote on Instagram. "Everyone on that show treated me with nothing but kindness. Now keep me out of this!"
