"You have to because the creation changed America, changed television," the star said in a new podcast.
Raven-Symoné says she has to separate the “creator from the creation” when thinking about Bill Cosby’s legacy and the way he lived.

“Separate the creator from the creation. And that’s just where I live,” she said, “You have to because the creation changed America, changed television.”
Crediting Cosby for forging a path for Black people to work in entertainment both on-screen and off, the “That’s So Raven” star also couldn’t deny that he has been accused of “horrific things.”
