Raven-Symoné Very Reasonably Sees Her Feud With NeNe Leakes As a Free Speech Issue
CelebritiesDirt BagAs someone who is not a co-host of The View currently feuding with NeNe Leakes, I may not be the right person to give an opinion about Raven-Symoné’s recent comments. But, as someone who lives in the United States of America, I have the freedom of speech, so I’m going to give my opinion and speak my truth.
In a recent interview with E!, Raven was asked about…well, I’m not sure because we never hear the question. But we do hear her response!
It begins:
I’m in a job where it’s about opinions, and it’s about my opinions on certain things. Everyone gets scrutinized for their opinion, even though this is America and we’re supposed to have free speech. You still get scrutinized. You still get penalized. And I think the best way that I can handle it is, say my peace, stand behind my truth, and move on myself. I don’t read comments when they’re negative and nasty.
But not everyone is capable of standing behind their truth and moving on. And Raven has a message for them.
If someone calls me and says, ‘Look what’s going on, you should read it,’ I go, ‘That’s your right to say that. That’s your right.’… That’s their right because we have free speech.”
Free speech! Yes, sure. Free speech. I feel like freedom of speech is only brought up in non-political discussions when the person talking has no idea what they’re talking about and can’t figure out anything else to say.
