Written by . Published: May 19 2012

Actress Raven-Symone has hit back at tabloid speculation about her sexuality, insisting her love life is nobody's business but her own.


The former child star found herself under the spotlight this week (begs14May12) following a National Enquirer expose which suggested she had set up home in New York with rumored girlfriend AzMarie Livingston, a contestant on Tyra Banks' reality TV show America's Next Top Model.


The article prompted an annoyed Symone to take to Twitter.com on Friday (18May12) and lash out at the claims, although she refused to set the record straight about her sexual orientation, insisting the information should be private.


In a series of tweets, she writes, "I'm living my PERSONAL life the way I'm happiest. I'm not one, in my 25 year career, to disclose who I'm dating. and I shall not start now. My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I'm datings (sic) to know. I'm not one for a public display of my life.


"However that is my right as a HUMAN BEing whether straight or gay. To tell or not to tell. As long as I'm not harming anyone. I am a light being made from love. And my career is the only thing I would like to put on display, not my personal life. Kisses!"


Symone is currently in the Big Apple starring in Broadway musical Sister Act.
