Avid Disney Channel viewers who grew up in the early 2000s probably have a soft spot in their hearts for "That's So Raven." The series, which follows the high school antics of a teen psychic (Raven-Symoné) and her besties, Chelsea Daniels (Anneliese van der Pol) and Eddie Thomas (Orlando Brown), aired on the network from 2003 through 2007. On "That's So Raven," Eddie is oftentimes the comedic relief of the show, from his "Black Velvet" self-portrait to his impromptu rap performances. But off-screen, once the series wrapped up in 2007, the life of Brown became anything but funny.
Post-Disney, he regularly made headlines thanks to his numerous arrests for drug possession, assault, and all-around unhinged behavior, like trespassing on someone's property while barefoot and carrying a box of Franzia. Though he's made attempts to continue his career in entertainment, both as an actor and musician, the controversies surrounding Brown — including his accusations on the evils of Hollywood — have overshadowed any positive moves he's made.
Let's take a look at the tragic story of Brown and where he's at today
