gURLs of wisdom: Raven Symone talks gossip, rumors, and what she hates about her bod

don't you just <3 her 'tude?

As you probably know from watching That’s So Raven, Ms. Raven Symone is seriously hilarious (in case you needed confirmation, in the half hour that gURL spent with her, we were laughing non-stop). But the Great State of Georgia (Raven’s new show premiering in June on ABC Family) can get serious, too.

We sat down with her to answer some of your questions about growing up and dealing with drama. Raven even confessed to us the #1 thing about her body that makes her self-conscious!

Check out the video below for what the funny gURL had to say:

    My mom has strawberry legs and she is really light skinned and he dots are dark brown and she said it doesnt bother her because when GOD made her she didnt make no mistakes : }

    random thought about those strawberry legs… Does the hair removing cream stuff work? Cos it just seems like there's a thin layer of skin covering where the hair grows so you can still see the part underneath after you shave. But the cream is sposed to dissolve hair sorta so maybe it'd help? No idea. Random thought from a very sleepy girl.

    Love ya Raven. You were like my idol as a young thing (jus ask my school chums, they remember haha) missed ya and excited for that show (:

    Raven, you're so funny. When i was younger, i would watch your show all the time and would talk and be sassy like you in the show because it was my favorite show ever. I would watch it if it were still on now a days but now they have all those shows on disney that are sort of lame. They need some of the old shows back like Phil of the Future, That's So Raven, and the older version of The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. Those were great :)

    i LOVE her. she is like the #1 reason i have respect for my beauty and who i am. also,i get those dots too!

  6. avatarJessica says:

    I LOVE Raven. She's gotten so pretty. I mean, she's always been pretty but the HD video just exposes it more.

  7. avatarjamia says:

    uggh I have strawberry legs too! and people are always like "you know, you have really nice legs, but why do you have those dots and like um idk but I can't get rid of them sooo.

  8. avatarAlicia says:

    Raven, you are such an awesome person, I always loved watching "That's So Raven" I always wanted to be like you. And, I totally understand the "Strawberry Legs" I hate them! >.< Can't wait for your show on ABC to come out. Thanks for being such an awesome person!

    Not really. She's telling us to love ourselves when she's the one that changed her body into what the media demands

    • avatarNerys says:

      Exactly! Couldn't agree more, I used to love her and the fact she was an ambassador for individuality everywhere. She had curves and she wasn't thin or even slim really, she had a shape that wasn't what the media deemed fit so what did she do? She changed it, she lost weight and lost, in my opinion, her indivual figure. It's a bit hypocritical to say love yourself when she obviously didn't…

      • avatarkaye says:

        what's wrong to perfecting yourself to your highest? how do you know she lost weight for her image, and not for herself? i gained muscle not because i wanted to look more toned, but because i wanted to personally have better jumps and leaps as a dancer. you don't know that she wasn't self motivated to change things about herself.

    • avatarmary says:

      THAT'S NOT TRUE! RESPECT HER ADVICE!

    I ADORE Ms. Symone and have been a fan ever since she was on cosby, we're the same age, so it was like growing up with her. She's an amazing woman and am so happy to see her back out here!

    You go Raven! I've always admired how you are Real!

    A lot of other celebrities go for the I'm-so-skinny-you-could-tip-me-over-by-breathing-on-me look, but not you! I've always told my sister: "See Raven? SHE is the kind of girl you want to grow up to be, not one of those dummies who throw up to make themselves feel better until they make themselves deathly sick" :/

    You go girl! Keep being real! Plus you are the best all-around actress I know! I've seen everything you've done and I'm anticipating more! I'm so glad there is someone like you out there who can set a Good example for girls. It's so difficult to find that now, and it shouldn't be. Keep up the fabulous work! :)

  12. avatarJoanna says:

    I have strawberry legs too! My friends always ask me why I have dots on my legs, but it's just genetic I guess :/

  13. avatarNicole says:

    I love you Raven! That's So Raven was my favorite show- I miss it so much! You look so pretty & you're such a great inspiration to girls. I can't wait until your show on ABC Family. I'm so excited for it! <3
