Concerning Raven, I think that she just likes to keep to herself and I respect that as many don’t really care and have no respect about themselves. Granted, I think I would be a little disappointed if I did know that she was homosexual, however it wouldn’t hurt any image of her in my mind. I believe she is one of the few real people within the industry.

Regarding Ms. Latifah AKA Ms. Owens, I believe that she has had some traumatic experiences in her life regarding her personal life and privacy. Her indulgence within interviews is that in itself, an indulgence. This, in and of itself is not an implicit accusation, however she may not be ready to expose one of her deepest secrets to a public that isn’t exactly forgiving to those with secrets and/or perspectives/orientations that aren’t popular. From what I remember though, she may have been molested at a younger age by a sitter and therefore may not want to quite get into that particular memory. Some people take more time to heal from wounds and she may not be over hers yet.

I say, live and let live. Rumors can spread all day everyday, but giving into them and letting them worry you is not the goal.
