Raven-Symone Message To Child Stars in Scandals, 'That's Your Fault, Boo-Boo. Stay In The House'

The little 3-year-old girl that everyone feel in love with on The Cosby Show, Raven-Symoné is all grown up and enjoying adulthood.

Unlike many child stars, Raven has been successful at managing to stay away from child celebrity scandals.

"My parents taught me to keep my private life private to the best of my ability," Raven told Oprah Winfrey, during her show, Oprah: Where Are They Now. "They showed me all the role models out there that I could turn in to, and [to think about] what I want for myself in the future."

Raven-Symoné is now 28, and has learned a few lessons along the way of her own. She claims that watching other child celebrities go left instead of down the right path has made her try to not make the same mistakes that they did.

"It's unnecessary to go to the most popular restaurant in the world when you have a scandal on your head and then get mad that someone's going to take a picture of you," Raven said. "That's your fault boo boo. Stay in the house."

Raven also told Oprah that she is not a fan of labels. MStars News previously reported that the childhood star claims to be just "American," nothing else.

"I'm tired of being labeled," the former Crosby Show star said. "I'm an American. I'm not an African American; I'm an American."
