No matter what Orlando Brown says or does, Raven-Symoné intends to remain silent. 

During her appearance on the latest episode of The Jason Lee Show, Raven-Symoné said she has chosen to "plead the fifth" when it comes to commenting on anything pertaining to her former That’s So Raven co-star. 

"I'm secure enough in my bank account and my life that I don’t have to dig that deep down to take it," she said. "And I don’t have to defend myself about anything because that’s his experience."

Raven-Symoné admitted she has more important things to worry about at this point in her life. "I’m almost 40. I don’t have room to steep that low," she said. "I got a wife. I got shit to do."

Raven-Symoné did not go into details, but noted that anything Brown has claimed in the past would need to be corroborated by her.

One thing that can be confirmed is the existence of a tattoo of Raven's face on his neck. The Raven's Home star did not appear interested in speaking about the tat, allowing Lee to deliver his two cents.

Despite everything that has gone on in Brown's personal life in recent years, Raven-Symoné praised his talents, calling him a "comedic genius."

“I know his family. I know him," she said. "And I knew him before drugs, after drugs, during God, not during God, and he was a comedic genius. And he’s still making people laugh."
