ROBERTA ROBBED

It appears that Roberta Tubbs of the Cleveland show has run into some trouble since being cancelled. Roberta Coretta Tubbs is a main character on the animated sitcom The Cleveland Show. She's the biological daughter of Donna and her ex-husband, Robert. She was named after her father. Despite the fact that she comes from a broken home and having a neglectful father, Roberta appears to be rather well-adjusted, despite not having an active male presence in her life. Her relationship with her father is clearly strained in "A Cleveland Brown Christmas", rolling her eyes when he appears on Christmas. She instead looks up to Tyra Banks in the same episode, hoping to one day become her co-hostess. A relatively popular girl in school, Roberta is often tying up the phone lines, both the house and cellular as well as the internet social websites such as Twitter and Facebook, with calls from her many friends. She dates a less than respectable boy by the name of Federline Jones, who Donna does not much approve of, but who Cleveland has managed to bully into submission in the "Pilot". Despite her claim of still being a virgin in "Da Doggone Daddy-Daughter Dinner Dance", Roberta often engages in heavy petting and making out with Federline, notably in "Cleveland Jr. Cherry Bomb" and in "A Brown Thanksgiving", which she considers part of a normal relationship. Despite this, she is reticent to engage in other sexual behavior such as showing her breasts in "From Bed to Worse." However, one hint that she may no longer be a virgin came in "Hot Cocoa Bang Bang," when, after hearing Donna warn her and Rallo that anything sexual they put on camera can come back to bite them in the future, she subsequently runs off to call Federline about something they put on camera. Neither Roberta nor her brother Rallo is initially pleased with the arrival of Cleveland and Cleveland Brown Jr., though both appear to accept their mother marrying Cleveland without much issue. In fact, Roberta and Cleveland seem to fall into a rather stereotypical father/daughter relationship, with Roberta being embarrassed by her stepfather's behavior and attending the father/daughter dance at her school in "Da Doggone Daddy-Daughter Dinner Dance", although she warms up to him and even comes to his aid in "B.M.O.C.".

  1. Wow .
    This one is great .
    I know the character and the show she appeared in .I used to watch it regularly back when I had cable.
    I like how you color coordinated her toe nail polish, ropes and (excellent) gag .I thought that was an excellent touch and appropriate to the character .
    The rope work is very good.
    The above and below the knee leg bindings which lock her knees and make it difficult /impossible for Roberta to stand up and the bindings at her ankles and middle thighs which would keep her from using her legs even if she could stand up
    The facial expression is perfect.
    I thought the nipple ring was an interesting accessory . I did not know the character had one Your work is always so informative.
    In the interests of full disclosure I must say when I saw the title for this image I thought the "Roberta " referred to my fave character General Roberta Strock of the FEM Force.
    But this is still a great picture.
    I like the" bound wrists secured to her torso via attachment to the ropes around her waist" configuration
