Raven-Symoné's father is speaking out on how his daughter is doing while co-hosting The View.

In a public Facebook post shared over the weekend, Christopher B. Pearman acknowledges his daughter's words can sometimes be controversial. In fact, he doesn't always agree with what she says.

"Children grow up and become influenced by many things, situations and people. I certainly don't agree with what she said....but she is damn near thirty years old," he explained on social media. "She's a grown ass woman making grown ass mistakes. We all have been guilty of this."

He continued, "Raven is a really Beautiful, Sweethearted, Human Being.I should know. Her Mother and I Love her Very much and will always support her and have her back. Even if sometimes..........she says some dumb S#%T!"

"And I am very discriminatory against words like the ones that they were saying in the video. I'm not about to hire you if your name is Watermelondrea. It's just not going to happen. I'm not going to hire you."

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree, Pearman argues that his daughter has managed to stay successful for several years. It's something he hopes he can teach with his new book, Dream So Big.

"My book is about teaching your child to believe and achieve," he wrote. "Raven has achieved incredible success, and this cannot be denied!"
