Sigh, ya’ll read so much into a comment. I call people little heiffer all the time and it has nothing to do with their weight.

it’s a black thing!
you must only be black on the outside@writer

I agree ninetangel it was just a little joke i dont think it had anything to do with her weight either

Debbie Allen was actually showin Raven some love!

like reckless said its a black thing…..that’s homeboys calling each other niggas

Sorry folks I gotta disagree with this one. Ms. Debbie Allen that was not nice. A heffer is a female cow! Who wants to be called a cow! which by the way tend to be big. I know she really did not mean anything by it but would Ms. Allen like it if Raven referred to her as “sure I know that old ass dancer” in a interview. Debbie you looking kinda hefferish as well! Im gonna defend Raven on this one

she didnt even mean it like that. Thats how mess get started..

She didn’t mean any harm by the comment. Down South that’s how we joke around.

um. she wasn’t talking about her weight. i’m going to ask if the person who wrote this article is black. if you were, i’m sure you’d understand that black folks – especially middle aged & older call each other and others heifer (“heffa”).

quit nitpicking and make an article about something that matters. ugh.

Whoever wrote this should get slapped….

lmao i call people heffas all the time..smh, people just look for bulls**t.

DAmm…it’s a joke —-that’s all—lil heifer is just a way of saying she is fond of Raven—Debbie’s old school and down to earth—-sheesh!

Whomever wrote this article owes me two minutes of my life… That’s the length of time it took me to read this “gossip” and try and find something wrong with the statement…..SMH

ummm…okay….how about this….whoever wrote this article is a heifer…they momma a heifer….an so forth…..DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB!!!! I thought it was something serious…ugh

Tell ‘em y’all. They need page views so that’s why they’re always writing s**t to lure us only to find out its total bulls**t. But one day, we’ll all catch on and stop viewing regardless of the headline cas then- it’ll be well known that almost everything this contributor does is 100% bulls**t.

heifer is just a way of calling a cow a female cow…mmm…steak…now a nigga want burger king.

Talk about making something out of nothing. Stop trying to stir an empty pot. It was obviously a joke on Debbie’s part, otherwise she wouldn’t have said “I love that girl” at the end!

that was a joke stop bringin out dumb s**t and making it a scandal.

I think it was meant as a joke, but she shouldn’t have said it in that manner, especially when the media can over the edge, such as this.
I’m personally glad to see someone with meat on their bones that is a celebrity. I’m tired of seeing the stick figures!

*correction
… especially when the media can take things out of proportion, such as this.

wow, whoever wrote this should be dropkicked in their face!
being called a heifer has absolutely nothing to do with weight. and her calling her a lil heifer was in jest anyway! talk about reaching.

BoooooHB& BP for llowing them to post this tripe~

1st…bet Ms. Debbie Allen said heffa not heifer…and it was in good humor (I get called it by my granny~ I say it to my girls vice versa)

2nd…It’s must be a slow news day~

YALL DUMB FOR THIS POST
I DON’T THINK SHE WAS CALLING HER FAT AT ALL
WOMEN JOKINGLY SAY THAT TO EACHOTHER REGARDLESS OF WEIGHT

what do you mean it dawned on her that she started in thats so raven? Isn’t she one of the producer’s?

Y’all are just diggin for dirt…

Back in my day, aunts called their kids and nieces that when they were just so proud of them. After that , they always smiled and said they loved us.

Is this writer young or is she (not black)?????

Cuz it’s a sista thang , you ole’ heffer!”

Please take this mess off…

Women jokingly say that to each other all the time.

By the way! Have you-all seen the Reggae Buss-MJ Tribute video on youtube? A combination musical tribute to Jamaican artist/musuc/culture/Micheal Jackson!
http://www.youtube.com/bsharpp2

Notice there is no name on this BS article! You are a COWARD and a HATER and we don’t have time for this trash..I say BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!

what kind of article is this, looks like somebody is blowing a comment out of proportion

The woman was joking, post something more news worthy….. Raven, I say mmm mmm mmm she looks goooooood, been watching her since The Cosby show

lol. puhlease…she’s not saying a damn thing about raven’s weight. lol…this is so lame. she’s actually being endearing…as if she was her neice or something. get outta here!

I don’t see Debbie meaning that in a bad way. She was joking. I don’t know her personally,but, I can tell she is cool person. That is just her you know. I believe with Debbie’s demeanor she is a straight up person, and if she was being serious. We all would have known she was serious. There would not have been any questions asked.

Isnt US a ‘white’ magazine? Not a racist, but white ppl just dont understand how blacks can call each other out their names and it still be all good. Get over it US MAG. I can only assume u dont have many blacks working there cause they couldve explained this to ur writer and before ‘they’ thought it was actually newsworthy.

Sounds like she was joking to me

I SMELL A HATER…UPSET THAT RAY HAS MADE SO MANY MILLIONS THAT DEBBIE WISH SHE WAS RELATED TO HER OR SOMETHING…LOL

UMMM OK SOO THIS IS GOSSIP?? LOL ITS SOOO OBVIOUS TO C ITS NOTHANG BAD ABOUT WUT SHE SAID OR HW SHES SAYS IT HELL I CALL SOME OF MY FRIENDS A HEIFER…LETS GET SOMETHING GUD AND WORTH MY MOUSE CLICK AND UNLIMITED INTERNET USAGE LOL

This article is crap. They used that headline so you’d click. And then you find out it’s crap.

To the editor of Hell Beautiful, I will never click on this site again. You know, if you just wrote quality material, even if if is just celebrity gossip, you’d get a lot more viewers.

SCOFFF!!! That is soooo rude to insult her. I’m telling, Raven has so beautiful skin and thick. Just like me. Raven is beautiful for black woman.

lmao @ misstrings43… why my aunt said the same s**t about my sis when we were lil!

This is soooooooo lame. As many times asI’ve heard aunts and cousins use the term toward one another. It’s the inflection of the word, not the intention.

This is a wack article

she didn’t mean nothing by that! nothing at all….she said that because she likes her….she said she loves her.

She didnt mean nothing about it.

Frenzy_Hunter : your right i will boycott hello beautiful too. this is crap. they know damn well their was nothing intentional about what was sad. I’m also sick of their hate topics….”find out what the kkk are doing? i don’t give a f$*k about knowing what their doing. the headline is used to draw people in. they probably get commission by how many people click on their headline. i’m also sick of them trying to divide us amongs complexions with their silly topics. I enjoy reading topics that are worth wild and uplifting. i’m human so i enjoy rumor topics but not misleading ones

seriously? really? i cant take it…

MAN RAVEN SEXY TO ME!!! ILL BE HER LIL CO STAR ANYDAY IN ANY TYPE OF MOVIE

F**K YOU HELLO BEAUTIFUL, YOU GOT DAMN COONS STEADY POSTING JUNK. GO F**K YOURSELVES YOU LITTLE “HEIFERS”, UNLIKE DEBBIE ALLEN I MEANT IT MUTHA F**KAS!

Seriously?!? She didn’t mean it in a negative way, she was only kidding!

Hello Beautiful is MESSY!!!

Uhmmm…I’m sorry but, unless Heifer is a universal term of endearment where everybody is from (its not where I’m from but…) I find it downright offensive! It ain’t cute, no matter WHO says it. That…along with calling another female a b***h is never, NEVER EVER a play word or a word of endearment to me! Those are fighting words, words of disrespect and UNLESS you are looking to get your ASS–Stomped, beat up and whooped, you don’t say them, period!

to blacks heifer is not a cow we jus call ppl that not callin them fat smh thats silly

Its better being called a heifer out of fun than a bit ch so needless to say this article is full of manure and pointless. It was said out of love and respect and as alway the medias trying to blow s**t in the wind smh

um..ok..and? Again – no story here. -_-

Damn..i wasted mah time clickin on dis article. It wasnt even anythin serious

DOWN SOUTH HELL WE SAY HEIFER, GET A LIFE…THIS IS BULLS**T..CAN U SAY BULLS**T…SHE DIDNT CALL HER A B***H, A DIKE, A TRICK, A HOE, A S**T, SHE SAID HEIFER..DAMN…IF THAT WORD OFFENDS TO THE POINT A DUMMIE WANTS TO HAVE A FIGHT..CALL ME I GOT SOME REAL TERMS OF ENDEARMENT TO GIVE YO ASS!!

Ummm lol she wasn’t calling her a cow she was using it like (heffa) as in What’s up heffa! lol Smh

She calls everyone that name who cares

Do yall ever do un-misleading stories? Hello Beautiful, should be renamed hello b.s.

I call my sister a heifer all of the time. Its a term of endearment in the south!

SOME TIMES THE MEDIA TAKES THINGS TOO FAR. ANYWHO REGARDLESS OF HER WEIGHT RAVEN IS STILL BEAUTIFUL AND SHE SHOWS THAT BEAUTY DON’T HAVE TO COME IN A SIZE 0-9!! DO YA THANG HEIFER!! (WITH MUCH LUV) LOLZ

raven is a Heffa , a big fat heffa

I completely agree with Ramses_NY…you so called “reporters” act like you get paid per click on these incredibly mis-leading links…GROW UP!

Seriously who writes this s**t? Did you NOT take a creative writing course in school? Did you even pass high school English or were you given a “jock” pass cuz damn ya’ll have sloppiest written articles ever!!

This is taken way out of context.
Clearly Debbie Allen said she loved her and she didn’t mean heifer in a negative way. (As mizenchanting said) its not a bad term down south.

Whoever is reporting this crap for Blackplanet is petty.

I’ve loved Raven symone since i was a little girl watching her as a little girl on the cosby show..look at her she is just beautiful..a true beauti…Size dont matter as long as your not 300 pounds..Big is the new beautiful..nobody like skinny B***hes anymore anyway..you got have some type of hip or ass on you..I dont think shes fat at all.She is thick and beautiful..and i love her too/

Eleonora43….. hater….that sista is all that, and as far as I am concerned, u are the fat heffa! That thick azz sista is sexy!

Nothing like blowing something out of proportion to generate traffic!

Next!!!

You guys need to spend as much time on your articles as you do on the misleading titles.

I feel like I have been deceived. The title is miss-leading but will only generate web hits. This is not really gossip nor news?

typo: mis-leading.

They need to stop Im not clickin on this gossip crap anymore……………………………………………….

its obvious she was kidding .. it was joke that was situated towards Raven being so popular…Had nothing to do with weight at all.. Wow these guys must be thirteen writing for blog site..

Are they for serious??? . WOW>. the media will a mountain out of anything!

I agree with ROxy….Wow its a Joke… I wouldnt get mad at that crap….. Yall just come up with some dumb crap…Talk about the real news….All them soldiers dieing in the middle east, reccessions and hungry in the world….Smh!

The only reason this is a story is because Raven is a little heavier than most Teen stars. She’s not even a teen anymore for one, second she’s just an average sized woman now. If she wasnt a celebrity she would never be critisized for how she looks. I agree this is not even a story.

Well what grown ppl dont joke around like that callin each other names i mean i can see if she called her a word some females dont like u know the B word heifer is not that bad

wow she aint even mean heifer like dat..ppl say that all da time…lol dis world has gone outta control

I HOPE an editor at Hello Beautiful reads this… CAN YOU PLEASE STOP LOWERING YOUR STANDARDS (IF YA’LL HAVE ANY TO BEGIN WITH) TO WRITE THIS KIND OF STUFF? WE ALL KNOW DEBBIE ALLEN MEANT THAT IN FUN. UPLIFT US AT LEAST ONCE. AND THEN WE WONDER WHY OTHER RACES LOOK AT US AND SMIRK.

like seriously what type of bs is this? if you are going to be in someone’s business at least give us a real story.

da last thing raven is little. i do like em thick but she gettin oc. she should do a song with li wayne or t-pain, then she have a hit song. but that didnt work for lil mama.

debbie allen is getting old. she slipped-lol. but be honest most actresses are not that big. raven don’t seem to care and truthfully with her youthful metabolism she should be smaller. they are probably ghetto and used to calling each other names like that on the set or behind the scenes and throwing chicken bones at each other-lol

I have to agree with you all. BP is getting to do the same as ET and the other news preparers. We read this story and think OMG, Allen and Raven beefing but when you read the article, it was nothing. BP don’t waist our search time on bs. And for those that don’t like Raven’s weight, she will slim down when she want but right now that keeps the Papparazzi off her back.

I guess I may be the only nonfan of Raven Symone. I didn’t evev like her as Olivia on the Cosby show, in fact she was one of the reasons I stopped watching that show, she’s too damn annoying. NOW my daughter LOVES her, so of course I now suffer through episodes of TSR. I do have a lot of respect for her though, to be herself in a time where people think looking like you’re starving or have a terminal disease is “in” takes alot of courage and also spreads the word to other young ladies that being yourself is what’s important, not what the other people think.

Oh and yeah, this was not a “story” this was an attempt at starting more mess between us. Like we don’t tear each other down enough. But bottom line is $$ – screw the world, right?–Its the American way to get the the American Dream. –Praying for ALL of our souls as I type.

Be blessed people.

Yawn… Why is this news? Who owns BP?

callin her a heiffer had NOTHIN to do with her weight..debbie allen is just bein old school and country…me and my friends call eachother heffa and cow all the time and NONE of us are fat…smh..this is an attempt to start some mess where there is none..as always…

I’m not Religious or anything, but I do have to agree with Tite_Eyes on one thing.. In America, It IS all about a dollar! I can go on & on about that, but I won’t. However, Raven.. (looking at pic #6) is HOTT as H-E-Double Hockey Sticks!!! ;-)

Raven, if you’re reading this.. I may not be Mr. Right, but I can help you to kill some time until he gets here!! Oww! :)

SHE WAS JUST JOKING! WAS THIS ARTICLE REALLY NECESSARY?

OMG, I hear women call other women that all the time and it is not always meant negatively. I read that and think they’re very close that they can play with each other like that, you print it so that people can think they’re at odds…stop making drama out of nothing BP, there is enough newsworthy information out there that could be reported other than this. Really…

You cats is starting S**T amongst black people and that s**t aint cool!!! If I said Wu-Tang Clan is my NIGGAS that does not mean I am being hateful to them that means that I have BIG LOVE for WU-TANG them cats.STOP HATING ON BLACK FOLKS..Its enough of it as it is!!!

HB SOMETIMES YOU GO TOO FAR….THIS ARTICLE WAS WASTED SPACE AND TIME….

I see women call each other b***h heifer and ho all the time in a playful manner. Why take one word and twist it when soon behind that statement came “I LOVE THAT GIRL!”
Obviously it was playful admiration…

I don’t know why people misinterpret things so much in this world. Can someone please explain?

thats how we talk is a white person responsible for this article? lol

wow, really? That woman just said that she loves her. SO what she said heifer. I’m sure Raven won’t interput it any way other than the love it was said in.

that was a term of endearment dumb ass author of this blog.

we as black ppl have our own language…. stop taking it out of order…crazy ppl

I dont think that was disrespectful at all….and Damn Raven is lookin right in those pictures

lol these titles on these lil bp blogs always make the story to seem like some big deal, and then you read the s**t and its f**king nothing… who cares

Love to start drama that’s not even there- Raven’s so pretty! I don’t think she’s gonna take it in a harsh way.

Stop trying to make something out of nothing.

THAT IS A TEXAS TERM. DON’T START NONE AND IT WON’T BE NONE. DUMBASS. HOPEFULLY RAVEN WILL PUT HELLO BEAUTIFUL IN THEIR PLACE INSTEAD OF BUYING INTO THEIR FEEBLEMINDED ATTEMPT TO STIR DISCARD.

OH THAT’S DISCORD=LACK OF AGREEMENT AMONG PERSONS, GROUPS OR THINGS. NOT DISCARD AS IN HELLO BEAUTIFUL SHOULD DISCARD WHOMEVER IS TRYING TO STIR UP DISCORD.

OMFG, that old lady aint mean s**t by that. Raven Symone is SOOO beautiful. She was just playing. Its not that serious. C’mon BP. Lets think of another story. I got faith in yall.

As for Raven, continue to make that paper girl performing abroad where they are not jufgemental by size but by talent, as it should be. i peradventure that she is a beautiful person both inside and outsid. Hello Beautiful is a engative entity for BlackPlanet but as long as they get the hits they don’t care how. I feel compelled to comment because young people are so impressionable and may actually believe what tghey read instead of realizing that Heloo Beautiful takes lots of things out of context to make thing juicy.

Debbie Allen is making a comback, you go girl. We know what you meant. As for Raven, continue to make that paper girl performing abroad where they are not judgemental by size but by talent, as it should be. I peradventure that she is a beautiful person both inside and outsid. Hello Beautiful is a engative entity for BlackPlanet but as long as they get the hits they don’t care how. I feel compelled to comment because young people are so impressionable and may actually believe what tghey read instead of realizing that Heloo Beautiful takes lots of things out of context to make things juicy and get people’s attention no matter how negative.

It didnt sounds like Debbie meant it in a mean or degrading way. I guess she should choose her words more wisely

It was just a joke!!! Even I got that after reading this article! I know a lot of older African American women who use that word in a joking way; it was not used as an offense to Raven, and I’m sure Raven knows that.

They go way back…..She was just being funny, she probably calls her heifer to her face……as for you Raven …I’m just glad you finally grown..I don’t feel so bad when I lust for you ….Much Love ….

IF ITS NOT BROKE DON’T TRY AND FIX IT, THATS ONLY A FIGURE OF SPEECH RIGHT NOW TODAY I CALL MY FRIENDS HEIFERS AND ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS.

Thats just how sistah’s communicate. We call each other, heifer’s, skank, ugly, all kinds of stuff. But its all in fun, if someone gets offended, we stop, apologize and life goes on…

please stop it she wasnt dississing her that is just how black women talk…now try and make some ish out of nothing with someone elese please.

Now I don’t even see why this editor is trying to make somthing out of NOTHING! That was just a figure of speech and the editor knows it. Hello Beautiful you need to be ashamed of yourself!

They are so extraad out

to be perfectly honest i get very offended
if a person calls me a heifer, the only person that can get away with calling me that is that person that gave me life okay my mother.A heifer is a female cow.

Ya’ll taking it way out of context. “Heffa” is a term of endearment, and I definitely don’t think she meant it to be mean. Grow up people…

IT SEEMS AS THO SHE’S SAYING IT OUTTA LOVE BUT REALLY I FEEL LIKE SHE’S A LIL JEALOUS OF HER YOUTH & HER FAME.

THis a story about nothng , black women call each other Heffas all the time.

this is news…why?

it was a term of endearment, people. she said she loves her. yall trying to start something. quit it.

She soooo was not using the word “heffa” to refer to the girl as a damn cow! Skinny women call each other heffa. It’s just a more tactful word for b***h, which is also used as a term of endearment! These people who write these stories are digging and stretching and coming up with nothing. I wonder how much they get paid. I remember Debbie Allen from Fame, and A Different World, and various award shows and broadway coreagraphy when i was a child. She and her sister both still look good.

Uh-uh! And I just put on another post that Mary J. was jealous of Keyshia Cole and wasn’t aging gracefully, like Debbie Allen. Look at this picture, looks like a young and old version of the same woman. Calling someone a heffa shows no class and sounds more than a little jealous. Lena Horne doesn’t act this way, but she came on the scene back when a woman was a lady.

She was using the term endearingly, otherwise she would not have said she loves her. This is common with Debbie Allen I have heard her say it of other child stars that she likes.

Marsha

Slow news day? Sheesh!

heifer doesnt always mean fat or cow
raven is gorgeous though. she has a nice body
