Gabourey Sidibe's resurfaced post about interviewing people she has beef with is hitting different after that Raven-Symoné interview

Posted on Nov 9, 2026 UTC

Actor Gabourey Sidibe, also known as Gabby, recently appeared on Tea Time with Raven & Miranda, and all kinds of tea was being spilled during the episode — though not all of it on camera.

For those not in the know, the Tea Time podcast is hosted by the wife duo Miranda Maday and Raven-Symoné, the latter synonymous with all millennials thanks to That's So Raven. The point of the show, seemingly, is to divulge some gossip, but it didn't seem like the hosts were fully prepared for the tables to turn their way.

At one point late in the nearly hour-and-a-half podcast, Sidibe revealed to the That's So Raven star that she had always thought that Raven had hated her.

It was a raw and awkward confrontation that had many people remembering a rather prophetic Threads post Sidibe had made earlier this year. In the post from Feb. 6, 2026, Sidibe wrote, "If I had a podcast, I would want to interview people I have beef with so we could figure out exactly where they got me f***** up at."

Well, with the podcast episode that dropped on Nov. 5, she got the opportunity to do just that and dropped the tea with no hesitation.

During the final question in the Tea Time Q&A, the group began discussing Sidibe's entrance into Hollywood, which Raven said she was "angry" about out of jealousy because of the body positivity at the time. When Raven then thanked her for "knocking down doors," Sidibe said, "See, I didn't think you liked me. I was actually here like, 'what's up'."

Maday asked them to hash it out and figure out why Sidibe didn’t think Raven liked her, and Sidibe simply replied, "Well, because you treated me like you didn't like me." Raven’s response? "My bad."

"I was told that you made some people promise to not be friends with me," Sidibe added. They shared names, beeped out, but offered to talk more honestly off-camera once the podcast was over.

Raven said that the reason why Sidibe didn’t think she liked her was that "I didn't know you." Sidibe didn’t mince words as she told Raven, "I felt like you were put off. I felt like you were put off by me."

Maday jumped in to attempt to defend her wife, whom she hadn’t met at the time in question. She said, "So she can be shady, she can be petty, she can be an a**hole, but she's not the type of person who would ever go behind someone's back and be like, 'Don't be friends with her.'"

"She doesn't have that much energy to give to someone else or something," she finished.

Raven chimed in, saying, "What I would say is like, 'don't bring her around me'. I would say something like that." Maday added, "And I think that when Raven doesn't know somebody now from like observing her behavior, she can come off very cold and very distant, but it's not from a place of disliking."

Maday tried to diffuse the conversation before moving by saying, "But I'm going to tell you, I like you. You can come around. We can be friends. We can go do Pilates together."

However, folks online immediately brought back the Threads post from February, impressed and amused with Sidibe's poised takedown of Raven on the woman's own podcast.

A number of people pointed out that fans of That's So Raven needed to take off the rose-colored glasses and see the actor for who she shows herself to be. (A Sagittarius, apparently.)

This makes sense, given how interconnected Raven-Symoné and Raven Baxter were as a "character" when we were growing up. By the character having the same name as the actor, it made an impression on quite impressionable children's minds.

This is how some folks are getting disillusioned with Raven-Symoné as a person, too.

There were also those calling for the podcast to be canceled, referring to the conversations as "cringey."

Meanwhile, fans of Sidibe focused more on just how cool she was for standing up for herself on Raven's own platform.

This Redditor called it "such a power move."

And while it's sad to see someone feel the need to defend herself, many are applauding her return.

Maybe a podcast is in Gabourey Sidibe's future, who knows? What do you think?
