Raven-Symone says her ex got another woman pregnant then asked her to be the godmother... after dating Smollett and McDaniel
Raven-Symoné has revealed her famous ex got another woman pregnant, then asked her to be the godmother. The 39-year-old actress opened up about the unfortunate incident when talking to Jeff Lewis on his radio show this week. Raven - who is best known for her shows The Cosby Show, The That's So Raven and The View - was on the radio show with her wife of five years, Miranda Maday. The Georgia native said she was with the man for many years. Raven-Symoné has been in relationships with AzMarie Livingston (2012 - 2015), Jussie Smollett (2007 - 2011), Jonathan 'Lil J' McDaniel (2003 - 2007) and Marquis C. (2000 - 2003). When Lewis asked if her ex was famous, she said that 'he's pretty well known in the community he works in.' She refused to name the man or give any more clues. Raven - whose full name is Raven-Symoné Christina Pearman-Maday - then went into more detail but still did not name the man. 'We were together for a really long time, and he got another girl pregnant, and the best part of it was he asked me to be the godmother of the kid,' Symoné said, which stunned Lewis. But the two are still friends to this day. 'He's been through a lot, so there's nothing but love and respect for all that he's gone through in his family, but he still talks about it all the time,' the star said. 'Dumb***.' In the past, Raven has said that she stopped being bi because all the men she had been with cheated on her. She started dating Pearman-Maday in 2015 after they met at a gay bar, then wed in 2020. They have a podcast called Tea Time with Raven and Miranda where they discuss their relationship. Last year she shared that she had a breast reduction when she was a teenager. The actress revealed that she went under the knife when she was just 15 years old because she had been told that is what she needed to do to find success. Speaking on her Tea Time podcast, she told her wife: 'I had my first breast reduction at 15. It was traumatic. I was a triple D all the way down to a B. Someone said I needed to do it in order to get a show.' But the Cheetah Girls star has now learned to 'embrace' her body in a way she couldn't when she was younger. She said: 'There's this beautiful embracing of the body now that I didn't get as a young girl.' It was recently alleged that when Raven was in the middle of shooting her supernatural sitcom - which originally ran from 2003 until 2007 - Disney bosses decided to make her appear 'thinner' with CGI. When her weight fluctuated in her later teenage years, co-producer and writer Dava Savel has claimed show bosses 'handled it in really bad ways'. In the book 'Disney High: The Untold Story of the Rise and Fall of Disney Channel's Tween Empire', Sevel said: 'Disney Channel was going crazy about it. 'And they handled it in really bad ways. But it was never to her face.' Sources in the book allege that one incident occurred in season two episode 'That's So Not Raven', which saw another model picked for a runway show over Raven because of her slimmer frame. The episode saw the character Raven try a range of diets before realizing she is perfect jut as she is, and then sending a message of body positivity when she walked the runway at the end. However, the book's author Ashley Spencer writes that 'multiple people involved in the episode' claimed a Disney Channel executive told the visual effects team to make Raven thinner in the closing scenes.

Christina Haack hints she was 'screwed' after 12-hour divorce talk with Josh Hall who 'wanted $3.5M'
Christina Haack, 41, has shared how she feels after finally settling her divorce from Josh Hall. While on Monday's episode of SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live she hinted that she felt a bit 'screwed' after a 12-hour mediation with her ex. 'I heard a saying once, like, if you both think you're screwed, then whatever you want. I don't know how it goes…' she said. 'Look, it's not great, but I guess it's done.' Haack and Hall first started dating in March 2021, got engaged that September and wed a month later in October. 'I'm grateful to have this behind me,' she wrote in an Instagram story shortly after the divorce was finalized on May 2. 'I can't wait to move on with my life and focus on what's ahead and all my blessings.' In the Stories post, she thanked her divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser. 'I loved watching you in action and how you handle everything and everyone with class and grace... I appreciate you all beyond words,' Haack wrote of the lawyer and her team, calling them 'all a true class act.' 'I heard a saying once, like, if you both think you're screwed, then whatever you want. I don't know how it goes…' she said. 'Look, it's not great, but I guess it's done.' Haack and Hall first started dating in March 2021, got engaged that September and wed a month later in October During the divorce, Haack claimed that Hall wanted $3.5 million from her. Hall disputed the claim. He has also been accused of transferring $35,000 from Haack's bank account to his own - which he also denied. Christina has one bright light in her life: She is now happily dating businessman Christopher Larocca, who she pictured with last month engaging in a wild PDA session while on holiday in Cabo San Lucas in DailyMail+ exclusive photos. Last month learned she has been suffering from health issues. The worrying news comes after her costly and painful divorce from third husband. As a result, The Flip Off star has been feeling sluggish overall, a source told the Daily Mail. Haack's symptoms include headaches, bloating, weight gain and body aches. She has also been more tired than usual, the source added. Now, the mother-of-three is taking some time for 'self love' so she can cope better. 'Christina is doing more meditation and carving out quiet time for herself when she gets down time from her busy work schedule,' our source said. 'And she will be working out more with yoga and Pilates. Walks on the beach are also on her to-do list because that calms her down.' Stress can trigger poor health. According to Mayo Clinic, high or low cortisol levels can cause a variety of symptoms, often related to stress and hormone imbalance. And the reality TV star also shared this selfie where she had on a red workout bra and matching leggings while at home 'High cortisol can lead to weight gain, muscle weakness, high blood pressure and mood changes, while low cortisol can cause fatigue, weight loss and skin changes,' the medical center claimed. Many of these symptoms overlap with other conditions, making diagnosis challenging. In May, Haack made her red carpet debut with Larocca at the For Your Consideration Emmy event. She was joined by ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather El Moussa - all three star together on HGTV's The Flip Off. Hall was initially involved in the competition series, with the two couples expected to compete 'to find, buy, renovate and flip a house for the biggest financial gain'. He was booted from the show shortly after they each filed for divorce in July 2024, one day apart. Haack went Instagram official with Larocca in January, sharing a snapshot sitting on his lap aboard a private plane. After the red carpet date, for which Haack and her new beau coordinated in black outfits, she took to Instagram to share photos and video clips. Engaging her nearly 2 million followers, she wrote in a caption: 'What an epic night last night and it was such an honor for us to be considered for an Emmy!!' Haack wore a long-sleeved satin mini dress, which she paired with sheer pantyhose and knee-high black boots. 'We have all come so far in our careers and personal life, separately and together,' she continued in her caption. 'Proud of us for coming together for this incredible show and doing this journey together.' Haack also shared a photo with the El Moussas via Instagram Stories and wrote: 'Last night was amazing,' adding a trophy and a prayer hands emoji.
