In August, Raven-Symoné admitted that she underwent two super dangerous surgeries early on in her career. According to the actor, who shared the info on “The Best Podcast Ever with Raven and Miranda,” she “had two breast reductions and lipo” (via Entertainment Weekly). Ultimately, it was Raven’s father who encouraged her to undergo the body modifications — before she was legal. “My dad suggested strongly that I should get my breasts reduced,” said Raven-Symone. “He was like, ‘So you don’t feel bad, is there anything you want?’ I was like, ‘What? Yeah, if I get lipo, will people stop calling me fat?’ So, I got a twofer.” Raven-Symoné also suffered from a seizure, post-op. “I remember waking up and seeing everything,” added the “Some Call It Magic” singer. ” I was like, nah. I started to have this dry mouth and couldn’t breathe, and then [I woke up] they were like they were like, ‘You had a seizure.'”

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the only misguided advice that her father gave her. Later in the podcast, Raven revealed that her father also set his sights on her eyebrows, “There was a point in my career where my father was like, ‘Time to get your eyebrows taken off, they look too weird.'” (via Pajiba). “And so I got them shaved off and then I started drawing them in.” Despite the invasive procedures, Raven “still got reamed through social media because I wasn’t as skinny as everybody else.”
