Raven Simone She puts pen to paper to share her life story – her way.
“I’m writing a book. It’s a memoir,” Simone, 39, joked during her Thursday, October 30, appearance on Sorry We’re Cyrus. Podcast. “I’m writing a book, but I can’t give you everything. What have we been through?”
Podcast host Tish Cyrus She was later asked if the former Disney Channel star planned to “capitalize” on her entire childhood fame and beyond.
“As best I can without getting sued,” Simone quipped. “Do you know what I mean? Some people even talk now about the choices that happened at that time, but I can’t judge it because that’s the climate we were living in. … Every generation, the situation gets better, (and) we hope that with our work and our consistency in standing up for each other, things can move forward.”
Simone started acting when she was three years old, and got the role of Olivia The Cosby Show. As the actress entered her teenage years, she headlined an eponymous Disney Channel series and several made-for-TV movies for the network.
“I didn’t feel safe (to talk about the challenges),” Simone recalls. “I felt different from Miley (Cyrus’ daughter, Tish) and the other kids because I had already been on two shows. I had already been on NBC and the WB, and I knew what sitcoms were and I knew what celebrities were.”

“It’s not about celebrities, it’s not about who has the most lines,” she said. “It’s about how you show up on time, no cell phone, no flip-flops (and) no answer. There’s work to be done. It might be difficult for some because it’s a kids’ network. I say, ‘No, every episode costs $3 million.’ “Go sit down and learn your lines.”
Even before that raven house, Simone was aware of her status as a role model.
“I’ve started This is very crow She said: “I’m 15, and I’d been on a couple of shows before and had two albums out, so I knew I was a role model because of the messages I was told to be in this industry. However, that doesn’t negate the fact that there was a lot of pressure because I didn’t look like all the girls I was in the same category as. I felt like they were given more opportunities because of the way I looked. It was also like: ‘I’m going to go to work and do what I need to do.’
