# Donna Tubbs-Brown

Cleveland Brown's second wife, introduced in *The Cleveland Show* and a recurring Family Guy character.

## Core facts

- **Full name:** Donna Lou Retten Tubbs-Brown
- **Voiced by:** Sanaa Lathan, in every credited appearance
- **First appearance:** Pilot, the first episode of *The Cleveland Show* (no Family Guy episode code)
- **Credited appearances:** 27 episodes across 14 seasons, from season 8 to season 24. This is a floor, because the source records at most ten voice credits per episode.
- **Age:** forty-two
- **Job:** secretary to the head teacher at Stoolbend High School
- **Temperament:** quick to anger

## Relationships

- **Spouse:** [Cleveland Brown](cleveland-brown.md), whose second wife she is
- **Children:** [Rallo Tubbs](rallo-tubbs.md) and Roberta, from her earlier marriage
- **Former husband:** Robert, the father of Roberta and Rallo
- **Stepson:** [Cleveland Brown Jr.](cleveland-brown-jr.md)
- **Predecessor:** she took the place in Family Guy once held by the late [Loretta Brown](loretta-brown.md), Cleveland's first wife

## Background

Tubbs is her maiden name, which she kept through her earlier marriage to Robert. She was one of the leads of *The Cleveland Show*, and since He's Bla-ack! (S12E20) she has been a recurring character in Family Guy.

## Common errors to avoid

- **She was not introduced in Family Guy.** She first appeared in *The Cleveland Show*.
- **She is not Cleveland's first wife.** That was Loretta Brown.
- **Rallo and Roberta are not Cleveland's children.** Their father is Donna's former husband, Robert; Cleveland is their stepfather.
