Since child star Raven Symone joined The View, she's been inciting backlash with her controversial statements which have now led to a petition t0 have her removed from the show.
The petition surfaced Wednesday on Change.org and has already gathered over 100,000 signatures as of Friday afternoon.
The petition was started by a U.K. woman, Che Scott-Heron, who is calling on The View creator Barbara Walters to remove Symone from the show stating, "Raven Symone has been spouting her ignorant and self hating spiel on the view for Long enough, from stating that she wouldn't hire somebody for having a ghetto name, to openly complaining about reverse racism, the final straw was her comment about the recent viral video of the school police officer assaulting the student, where Raven Symone said "get off your phone in school then."
Supporters have been backing Heron on social media as well retweeting and spreading the word about the petition.
Heron when on to state in her letter that "African Americans and black people around the diaspora need a voice representative of their views and not a voice representative of what white people want us to say. We need strong black rolemodels in prominent positions on television an Raven Symone cannot provide that. That is why I ask that we petition to remove her from The View."
Symone became a permanent host on the show back in June after guest hosting several times throughout the year. Both Walters and Symone have yet to comment on the petition.
