Raven Symone has come out in defence of Bill Cosby, slamming rumours that he molested her after the Cosby Show's finale.

Symone began her acting career on the show, where she played Olivia. She was six when the show's finale aired.

"I was NOT taking advantage of by Mr. Cosby when I was on the Cosby Show! I was practically a baby on that show and this is truly a disgusting rumour that I want no part of! Everyone on that show treated me with nothing but kindness. Now keep me out of this!" Symone stated on Instagram.

The rumour was started by a website called Hip Hop Hangover, and quickly gained traction after other allegations that the longtime TV star had drugged and raped female co-stars hit news headlines.

Hip Hop Hangover is not, however, a real news website and describes itself thusly: "Hip Hop Hangover is a Gossip parody and satirical publication and for entertainment purposes only."
