TLC Speaks About Being Scammed Out of Millions by Pebbles Reid; Brings That Old Thang Back With GMA Performance



Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozanda "Chili" Thomas of the hit girl group TLC, stopped by the Breakfast Club to promote their upcoming biopic CrazySexyCool which airs October 21 on VH1.

Of course, the interview wouldn't have been just for not bringing up key moments that were highlighted in the film, which included getting "raped" by Perri "Pebbles" Reid.

Pebbles was the creator of the group and the pair explained that while she taught them things, she was very difficult to work with:

T-Boz: It’s not exaggerated. When we didn't sign our contracts she cried and she did the whole, ‘You don’t trust me.’ That was true. But she had a tear. Remember the tear? We called it a Demi Moore tear. The thing that is true though, she did do some good for us. She put us together. She taught us some things. But then there’s always times when you work with people, there’s always things that you’re never going to agree with and you don’t like their ways. And people part ways, and I don’t think that she ever got over that.

And the group even had to buy their name back: AT 3 MILLION A LETTER. Chile, it's amazing what greed will do to people.  They were asked why they didn't leave and responded:

 Chilli :It’s our dream and most people go through things and at the end of the day you just want to work really and hopefully sell a lot of records so you have the power to change those kinds of things like bad contracts and stuff like that. 

T-Boz: But you also want to learn from your mistakes. You don’t want to sit in this business. We’ve been here 20 years and that’s two decades but you need to learn along the way and soak up all the information you can because that would be stupid to be our age and still going through the same things. That’s not hot.

At the end of the day, the ladies are one of the biggest girl groups of all time and have sold millions of records around the world. Apparently, Pebbles went to twitter and was not pleased:

"I NOT here to promote something I put on the MAP and yet have been disrespected by because of more reasons than one! Lawyers on deck."

Girl, good luck with that. The girls kept it classy and did not try and drag your name through the mud. Looks like you did that all on your own. So you cant be mad when they tell the story from their point of view and you feel some type of way now. You may be lawyered up, but best BELIEVE after the ride you took them for, they are too.

P.S. I thought everybody knew about the group being bamboozled out of millions. For any spring chickens who don't remember, I posted videos below too.



And before I forget, did anyone catch their greatest hits performance on Good Morning America?
Makes me miss those days so much check out that video of these two getting their groove back!
