Raven Symone Dishes On Being An Adult
On Monday, the former child star was making her regular appearance on talk show The View when the co-hosts were discussing how women in the entertainment industry are pressured to lose baby weight after giving birth. As it turns out, there are more types of body-shaming on women that don't just include losing weight based on what Symone had to say out of personal experience.
"You don't even know what I went through," the 29-year-old said via Us Weekly. "On State of Georgia, they had me wear a fat suit. Because they said I wasn't the size they wanted me to be."

Symone mentioned that when she reached a certain point in her weight, people would throw harsh comments at her and she's not the only one who has to deal with it.
"When I was at my heaviest, like 185 pounds, people would be like, 'Are you pregnant? Are you pregnant?' and I'm like, 'No, I'm fat, get away from me,'" she said. "This goes through all of our industry, just fat-shaming in general. Not accepting of females' bodies."
Symone jokingly added that things have changed ever since she got thinner.
"I feel like when I lost my weight, like big-girl season came," she said. "There's so many big girls that are now famous."
