Raven-Symoné Not Being Forced Off The View, Rep Says

Actress will remain on the daytime talk show

Raven-Symoné is not going anywhere.

Reports began circulating on Friday morning that The View might be looking for someone to replace the 30-year-old, noting that she was hoping to shift her focus back on her acting career.

However, a spokesperson for ABC tells E! News the speculation is "ridiculous."

The rep continues, "Ratings are up.  We are very happy with the team we have.  Raven is a great addition to the panel."

The actress officially joined the show as a full-time co-host in 2015 and has been part of the show's most-talked about moments over the last year.

Despite some backlash following her thoughts about the Spring Valley High School assault incident as well as the heat she received after saying she wouldn't hire someone with a "ghetto" name, ABC continued to praise her as a important part of the show.

In fact, even after someone put up a Change.org petition (which was signed by more than 120,000 people) that asked for Raven be removed from The View, ABC continued to have her back.

"We love Raven," a spokesperson for ABC told E! News at the time. "She is confident, genuine and opinionated, all qualities that make her a great addition to the panel."
