On February 3, The Shade Room shared a throwback clip of Raven-Symoné that had initially surfaced on the YouTube channel of TooFab on February 12, 2016. The video appears to show Symoné at a red carpet event, where the unexpected moment unfolded, capturing the attention of fans and followers alike.

Following the incident, The Shade Room reported that Symoné addressed the event during her hosting gig on ?The View?. She expressed an understanding of the fluctuating nature of celebrity status and acknowledged the complexities involved. However, she also voiced a desire for more sensitivity from the producer who asked her to step aside for Jenner, indicating the need for respect for all artists involved.
During her remarks, Symoné even provided a reenactment of her interpretation of the incident, bringing light to the emotional weight of her experience and how it resonated with her audience.
