Raven-Symone's Dad, Christopher B. Pearman, Calls Daughter's "Ghetto Names" Slurs "Dumb Sh*t"

It looks like Raven-Symone's dad, Christopher B. Pearman, isn't feeling his daughter's "Ghetto names" slurs that she made recently on The View. The former child star had people outraged left and right after she said she wouldn't hire someone with a unfamiliar name, like "Watermelondrea." Pearman even admitted that his daughter sometimes says "dumb sh*t."

According to Radar Online, Pearman claimed that his daughter was a grown woman, but sometimes the words that come out of her mouth are just sour, and just crazy.

"She's a grown ass woman making grown ass mistakes," Symone's father said of his 29-year-old daughter. "We have all been guilty of this." The former manager of Symone continued: "Raven is a really Beautiful, Sweethearted, Human Being. I should know. Her Mother and I Love her Very much and will always support her and have her back. Even if sometimes..........she says some dumb S#%T!"

Pearman's comments about his daughter come after The View host said on a previous show, "I'm not about to hire you if your name is Watermelondrea. It's just not going to happen. I'm not going to hire you."

Since her outrageous comments, Symone has since apologized, and claims that she too has been denied jobs because of her name. In a lengthy message on Facebook, the former Cosby child star wrote: "I have been denied many jobs because of my skin color, body size, and age."

Symone claimed that her self esteem was effected when she was rejected and admitted that she needed to be "part of the solution," verses being "part of the problem."

Since Symone's shocking comments on The View, the fans she did have seem to be very disappointed in her actions.

Some of the Facebook comments included the following below, and majority of outraged people didn't write just a sentence to the former actress.

Felicha Lamothe: "I never care to accept celebrity apologies because i feel like they show who they really are and once they realize 'oopps i showed my true colors' and their fans are angry and they are loosing job opportunities now they want to apologize. No boo keep your apology, you were just showing us your true colors. Its ok its hard being fake 24/7. This applies to a lot of celebrities not only her."

Larry Gilmore: "Raven-Symoné there is no need for this backpedaling that you are doing. You sat on live television, with your hyphenated, misspelled, no need for an accent mark name, and that 'ghetto' Mohawk and laid your deep seeded self-hate bare for all the world to see. Those same white people you are pandering to, either consciously or subconsciously, see you for what you so called will feel free to discriminate against. To them you have a 'ghetto name', and while you're bashing millions of little black girls with 'ghetto' names who grew up watching you and feeling pride at the fact they see someone on tv who looks like them and has a 'ghetto' name like them, in favor for this new white audience one has to wonder if you're doing this to make way for a possible new career move? Are you abandoning the core audience who made you what you are in an effort to appeal to a more mainstream audience? I don't know, but what you need to do is reevaluate yourself, your identity, and come to terms with who you are, because clearly you have a self-hatred that runs deep."

Tsumi Fukitsuna: "I have been the BIGGEST Raven-Symoné fan, and you sh*tted on me, and my name. I have ALWAYS hated my name for being different and always used an alias to outsiders so they could never judge me or laugh at my very different name and for you to say you would deny employment to someone like me was a betrayal of my trust for you.. It made me feel like sh*t.. You have a lot of nerve. Poor taste indeed!!! It was completely unnecessary!"
