With all the rape and sex allegations against America's favorite TV dad, you'd hope one of his victim's wasn't his TV granddaughter Raven-Symoné.

After reports surfaced and made headlines that Bill Cosby raped women, including actress Janice Dickinson, the Internet went wild alleging that Symoné also made such claims.

Sites like the International Business Times and others reported that Symoné filed charges against her former childhood granddad after the allegations started from the site hiphophangover.com, but it seems the story is false.

The site reported:

Another rape allegation has surfaced against famed comedian and actor Bill Cosby. This time it is from a familiar face, which speculates that there may be some truth to Cosby’s sketchy past.

Actress and singer Raven-Symoné, who rose to fame with Cosby in the hit television sitcom The Cosby Show, revealed to the TMZ offices that she, too, had been raped and drugged years ago following the show's last episode.

There are whispers that Cosby wouldn’t allow Raven-Symoné in the production of the last season of his show, but abruptly changed his mind. It was never revealed what changed his original intentions.

Her lawyer gave an announcement to the press. Here is an excerpt:

“… we among so many others are tired of the media worshipping and praising a man that has a past so terrible that it is unbelievable. My client (Raven-Symoné) is also ready to tell her side of the story — a side that was kept quiet because of threats from being blackballed. There was no monetary compensation that made my client keep quiet, but more so the respect for Mr. Cosby. Well, that respect has come to an end. And what we thought was a mistake or anomaly has surfaced to become a lifestyle. We will be pursuing damages that are not going to be disclosed at this time.”

On Sunday, Cosby’s attorney issued a statement saying the accusers are rehashing “decade-old, discredited” allegations.
