T-Boz and Chilli reportedly shared some troubling details about their dealings with Pebble?s in an interview with Power 105?s ?The Breakfast Club’ and after Pebbles got wind of it, all hell broke loose online!
More details + the TLC interview that started the rant below…
During their 30+ minute interview with The Breakfast Club, T-Boz admitted that Pebbles was instrumental in their success, but claims that she was not too easy to work with.
She did do some good for us, she taught us some things, she put us together, but then there?s always times when you work with people there?s always things that your never going to agree with and you don?t like their ways and people part so I didn?t think she got over that.
No, we had to buy it, pay $3 million ($1 million per letter) because she said she didn?t get enough money.
Chilli then revealed that Pebbles once kicked her out of the group for getting knocked up and allowed her back after she terminated the pregnancy:
I didn’t want to become a mother too soon, so teen pregnancy didn’t happen or anything like that. ? But when I did get pregnant and Pebbles kicked me out the group (and then put me back in the group), I was scared and had a lot of different emotions that made it hard to do what I did because i wanted it so bad.
Pebbles caught wind of the interview and/or a preview copy of the movie (which airs on VH1 next week) and issued the following response via twitter:
Uh oh! It looks like Pebbles is lawyering up…
