- According to The Grio, Symoné starred on 66 episodes of The Cosby Show between 1990 and 1992. Like any TV show stars, she’s received residuals as well as her original earnings on the show. It was one of her first acting roles.
- From there Symoné has made an appearance on Hanging with Mr. Cooper, That’s So Raven, and The Cheetah Girls. She also spent time being a panelist on The View. Now, she stars in Ravens Home, which is a reboot of her previous Disney show That’s So Raven.
- Symoné has had her public missteps (once saying she didn’t consider herself African-American) but in her public life has avoided the big scandals and major downfalls of other child stars. That includes her former That’s So Raven co-star Orlando Brown who has been arrested multiple times and has made incoherent social media posts including accusing other stars of sexual assault and more, according to The Grio.
- Symoné gives her parents, Lydia Gaulden and Christopher Pearman credit for guiding the young star through multiple fame minefields avoiding the financial exploitation that has plagued some child stars and their parents. Twitter found Symoné’s admission impressive.
