Anneliese van der Pol Responds To Rumors Of Orlando Brown & Raven-Symoné's Alleged Kid
A recent interview with Orlando Brown has gone viral. In it, he claims he and his former Disney Channel co-star Raven-Symoné had a child together.
More recently, another 'That's So Raven' co-star is speaking out about those rumors, sending fans into a spiral.
'That's So Raven' Star Orlando Brown Claims He Has A Child With Raven-Symoné
In an interview with Cam Capone News, released on April 8, Brown made a wild allegation that he is the father of a child he shares with Raven-Symoné.
"You know, I have a baby with Raven, nobody knows that," he claimed. Some of the conversation is hard to piece together, but he mentions a man "paying him nibbles to act like I could tell him when I don't tell you [the reporter]."
He then went on to call his so-called baby mama "so dope" before breaking out into a song, singing the wrong lyrics, "Nobody loves me like you love me."
Orlando Brown Calls Raven-Symoné 'Omina'
Brown continued to talk about his co-star, calling her "Omina" and not Raven.
"Omina is a cool person, you guys know her as Raven-Symoné. I got a baby, his name is Hunter, that's how you can describe that," he told the reporter.
Brown was asked why he kept the child a secret all of this time, to which he went into another tangent, claiming he was "put into a situation." He also claimed Symoné first had a child with someone named "Nate Dog," and Brown "came second."
"So it's not like it's some rich dude chasing a baby mama or something like that," he said in the now-viral interview.
The interview clip has made its rounds on TikTok. Now, Anneliese van der Pol is addressing those claims.
