Raquel Lee (born October 13, 1986)[2] is an American actress best known for her role as Nubia Gross on Disney Channel's The Proud Family and its revival series The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder. She also appeared on Nickelodeon's The Amanda Show during its first season and as herself on Double Dare 2000.
Career
[edit]In 2001, the same year she starred on The Proud Family, Lee made her film debut co-starring with Tahj Mowry, Mark Curry and Dawnn Lewis in the Disney Channel Original Movie The Poof Point, playing the role of Marie Ballard.[3] In 2024, following her negative experience with the Quiet on Set documentary, she posted a video on TikTok stating that she was done with the industry and wanted to focus on her family.[4]
Personal life
[edit]Lee married Edouard Bolleau in 2016.[5] Together, they have three children.[6][7]
Legal action against Disney
[edit]On August 21, 2026, Lee filed a lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company, alleging corporate negligence and a failure to protect minor actors. According to the complaint, Lee was 14 years old and filming The Poof Point in Utah when she was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a middle-aged production staff member, who has not been named. The lawsuit outlines that Disney maintained an unsafe working environment by not only permitting adults to interact with minor actors without proper oversight, but ignored warning signs regarding her interactions with the staff member and failed to intervene despite the alleged misconduct occurring within view of cast and crew members and even audible to sound technicians. Additionally, the complaint alleges that Disney blamed Lee herself when her behavior and job performance dramatically shifted following the abuse, and the suit seeks economic damages, compensation for emotional distress, and punitive damages.[8][9]
