Raven-Symoné Slams Molestation, Rape Allegations: Cosby Kid Vows To Stay Out Of Bill Cosby Rape Scandal Drama As Don Lemon Issues An Apology

The world can now calm down just a little as Raven-Symoné clears the air to let everyone know that she was not one of Bill Cosby's alleged rape victims.

MStars News previously reported that a story was floating around the Internet that claims Cosby abused Symoné when she was a child on the hit sitcom The Cosby Show. We have now found out that the allegations were a hoax!

But others, like actress Janice Dickinson, Joan Tarshis and more are claiming that America's favorite TV dad raped them.

Raven-Symoné starred as Cosby's step-granddaughter Olivia on the hit NBC show in the 1980s. She slammed the rape and sex abuse rumors, clearing her name and Cosby's — as for what it stands in regards to dealing with her — via Instagram:

"I was NOT taking advantage of by Mr. Cosby when I was on the Cosby Show!" she wrote. "I was practically a baby on that show and this is truly a disgusting rumor that I want no part of! Everyone on that show treated me with nothing but kindness. Now keep me out of this!"

Meanwhile, in related news, Don Lemon is apologizing to alleged rape victim Joan Tarshis after his comments during their interview on CNN earlier this week.

According to The Daily Beast, Tarshis is one of the 15 women claiming that the 77-year-old comedian sexual assaulted them. In the interview, Lemon asked Tarshis why she didn't just "bite Cosby's penis" if he forced her to give him oral sex.

"As a victim myself I would never want to suggest that any victim could have prevented a rape,” Lemon explained Wednesday, Nov. 19. “If my question struck anyone as insensitive, I’m sorry, as that was not my intention.”

Lemon asked a question that a lot of viewers, concerned fans and Americans were probably wondering. See the clip below, as the Cosby story continues to make headlines across the nation.
