VIDEO: Chilli of TLC says “All Lives Matter”
In the clip above, TLC talks with Channel 4 news in the UK and are questioned about their activism and thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement. ?
Chilli chimes in with the following:
?I personally didn?t go into any marches, or anything like that, but for me, all lives matter, you know what I mean?? she said.
?Because there is a time when different groups are targeted for different things, you know what I?m saying? So, I just think that, just the whole? what happened, police brutality, against these young black boys, all of that kind of stuff is wrong, even if it was a Caucasian teen kid that this was happening to or whatever. It?s just not right?
Many TLC fans were shocked about Chilli’s comments and voiced their displeasure on social media?following the interview:
Not a good look… not a good look at all! ?I’m shocked also, especially considering Chilli is the mother of teen son herself. ?But I guess she has a right to her opinion.
