Is Raven Symone Really Dating AzMarie? She Responds To Lesbian Rumors

Over the past couple of days, rumors have been flying around about Raven Symone being in a relationship with former “America’s Next Top Model” contestant AzMarie Livingston. You may have missed the news since it came from the National Enquirer but the amount of pick-up the story received alleging that Raven and Az are shacking up in an $11,000/month condo in NYC was enough to make the actress respond on Twitter and shut down any further discussion. She tweeted:

“I’m living my PERSONAL life the way I’m happiest. I’m not one, in my 25 year career to disclose who I’m dating. and I shall not start now. My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I’m dating to know. I’m not one for a public display of my life. However that is my right as a HUMAN BEing whether straight or gay. To tell or not to tell. As long as I’m not harming anyone. I am a light being made from love. And my career is the only thing I would like to put on display, not my personal life. Kisses!”

Ask me something else and see what happens! Sorry, I added that last part. I just love how she handles media speculation and drama so well at her age and after 25 years in the industry. That’s pretty much the same type of response she gives whenever someone tries to come at her about her weight: her body, her business. Hot 97.3 reported sources as saying:

“[Raven's] at a point now where she doesn’t care what her family thinks, and she’s in love with AzMarie.  She’s a lesbian and wants to live that way. Can you believe it?”

From the response she gave on Twitter, I can, because that’s the way she’s always been—unconcerned with other people’s thoughts.

What do you think about Raven’s response?

    I totally agree it is her life, has long as she is happy that is all that matter. I love it!!!!! They make a cute couple . I feel people in the world enjoy and feed off of negative things. A heart is to be loved, from the looks and spoken words that’s what she is doing.

    It’s her life. I love raven no matter what she is. Besides she has to answer to God for herself. So leave her be.

    Honestly? What is there to think? She didn’t stutter, she stated the facts, and like every other human being that should be respected. She owes no one an explanation about anything. We came to know her for her creative talents, which is what she has always shared with the world. She’s pretty much said she’s not a walking reality television show so why are you further asking this question. Does it really matter what anyone thinks? Dead Issue!!

    so what

    I think she handled it like an adult.  I really don’t want to know, celebrities nowadays are a little too open for my liking, and everyday people are a little too concerned about what they are doing.  I am a fan of hers and wish her happiness and success.

    Spoken like a true Sagittarius, I luv it. Nope we are not entitled to her business since we didn’t support her last show endeavor “State of Georgia” which I loved….Go head Raven!

    Her sentence structure sucks.

    So what? She is right she don’t owe the public nada about her personal life and up to this point she has managed herself pretty good and have not made a fool out herself like some others. Go Raven I still think she is awesome.

    Why isn’t this photo of raven not on your “worst celebrity make-up mishaps list’?

  • FromUR2UB

    Why are people who took time to read the article, chastising others who responded to it, about being in someone’s business?

    I hadn’t thought she was gay prior to this, but I’m thinking she is now, based upon that pic.  The tone of the pose is flirtatious and defiant.  Knowing that anything on film can float around and be leaked, a person who wants to keep her business private shouldn’t pose in a way that’s going to fuel gossip.  You don’t put it out there, then take offense when people talk about it.  Just a little uncommon sense.
