TLC's Chilli Responds to Recent Public Controversies
TLC member Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas has publicly addressed two recent controversies involving her public actions. These incidents emerged shortly after TLC announced their upcoming "It’s Iconic" Tour with Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue.
Political Donation Claims
Reports surfaced indicating that Chilli had donated over $1,000 to Republican-linked fundraisers and Donald Trump's reelection efforts in 2024. This reportedly included a $340 contribution to the Trump National Committee JFC.
Chilli stated she believed she was contributing to organizations supporting military veterans and fighting human trafficking. She admitted she "did not read the fine print" of the contributions.
"I am not MAGA and do not support any of the many policies that are causing great harm to the American people."
Michelle Obama Video Incident
Separately, Chilli's social media account re-shared a Michelle Obama conspiracy theory video. She later explained in a video statement that the repost was accidental.
Chilli attributed the incident to inadvertently hitting the repost button while scrolling. She stated this was due to her not being "very computer savvy."
Chilli expressed her "utmost respect and admiration for Michelle Obama" and clarified she had supported the Obamas' campaigns and initiatives previously.
