Raven-Symon\u00e9 defended the complicated legacy of her former co-star, Bill Cosby.<\/a><\/p>\n

Raven-Symon\u00e9 came to the defense of Cosby’s legacy, which includes “The Cosby Show.” The sitcom \u2014 which starred Phylicia Rashad, Lisa Bonet, Tempestt Bledsoe, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Keshia Knight Pulliam and Sabrina Le Beauf \u2014 was one of the most popular and influential shows of the 1980s.<\/p>\n

“Separate the creator from the creation, and that\u2019s just where I live,” Raven-Symon\u00e9 said during an appearance on Monday’s episode of the “Hate to Break It to Ya<\/a>” podcast.<\/p>\n

“The creation changed America, changed television,” she added.<\/p>\n

According to Raven-Symon\u00e9, Cosby paved the way for the hiring of Black actors and crew members.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Now it\u2019s like mandated, but back then, especially on a Black show, it was very important to see yourself, not just in front, but behind the camera as well,” she said. “And Mr. Cosby instilled that in all of us, and I took it to Disney, and anywhere I went afterwards.”<\/p>\n

The show’s legacy was tarnished after Cosby was accused of sexual assault.<\/u><\/a> Cosby’s 2018 conviction was overturned in 2021. Since then, additional women have come forward with accusations against the comedian.<\/p>\n

“He has been accused of some horrific things, and that does not excuse [anything],” Raven-Symon\u00e9 said. “But that\u2019s his personal. Personally, keep that there, and then, business-wise, know what he did there as well. Both can live, and I think our culture is right to not do wrong. You just can\u2019t do wrong.”<\/p>\n

Warner, who died July 20, claimed he was proud of the show’s legacy before his sudden death.<\/p>\n

“Regardless of how some people may feel about the show now, I’m still proud of the legacy and having been a part of such an iconic show that had such a profound impact on \u2014 first and foremost, Black culture \u2014 but also American culture,” Warner told People magazine<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n

Warner gained fame as the son of Heathcliff Huxtable, played by Cosby, on “The Cosby Show”<\/u><\/a> from 1984 to 1992. He appeared in all 197 episodes of the NBC sitcom.<\/p>\n

Raven-Symon\u00e9 gained fame at age three after starring in “The Cosby Show.” She joined the show in the sixth season before the sitcom’s end in 1992.<\/p>\n

She expanded her career to music, movies and landed additional roles on television. Raven-Symon\u00e9 fame skyrocketed when she starred in “That’s So Raven” on the Disney Channel.<\/p>\n

“I got into the Disney family when I was 13 on a movie called \u2018Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century,\u2019” Raven-Symon\u00e9 recalled in the podcast episode. “It was just really interesting because nobody from Disney at the time had a career like mine prior to signing with Disney.”<\/p>\n

“I already had two shows, I already had two albums, I already have a movie [and] I already have done all kinds of things,” she said.<\/p>\n

Raven-Symon\u00e9 explained that she and her team tried to separate what fell under Disney\u2019s umbrella from what belonged solely to her.<\/p>\n

“It all became wonderfully muddy when the character was named after me,” Raven-Symon\u00e9 explained. “It was amazing because, very rarely, do women get that as much as a man does \u2026 but I was the youngest to have a show named after her of color and female. As I continued my career, I said, \u2018Let\u2019s keep going with Disney. They\u2019re doing a great job.\u2019”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
