In the film, Pebbles was shown was depicted as a dishonest, money-hungry, manipulative manager and she initially issued an ‘official statement’ about how she was portrayed (click HERE if you missed that).? Pebbles recently sat down with talk show host Wendy Williams to clarify her statements.
It’s not all about the girls, it’s about the messenger.? VH1 is helping them promote an untruth.
While Pebbles spoke mostly about her issues surrounding how she was portrayed on the show, it was her direct response to one question that made waves.? When asked if there was any truth to rampant rumors about Chlli sleeping with her husband at the time, record executive L.A. Reid, Pebbles responded: ‘Absolutely!’

Here’s what Pebbles wants you to know… Continue Reading…
I’ve been out of the loop and haven’t really seen any negative press about the teen, but apparently one site in particular has rubbed Chilli the wrong in their coverage of her son.
Chilli’s long time publicist, Christal Jordan of Enchanted PR, reached out and the urgency of her words made me stop and take notice:
I hope you will take a moment to read the letter in the link below from my client Chilli, from the group TLC. Recently the group has been in the headlines with the success of the VH1 biopic (CLICK HERE if you missed that) and we appreciate the constant support for TLC and their projects. However, MediaTakeOut has repeatedly attacked Chilli’s 16 year old son.
I spoke with him last week, from a professional standpoint and explained to him that as a PR for his mother I advise her on how we handle her image. Many times I advise her against speaking out, however in this instance I found myself thinking less with my professional mind and instead speaking from a mother’s perspective.

It?s no secret Left Eye?s lil sister isn?t too fond of Chilli, T-Boz, or VH1 as a whole right now and as the unofficial spokesperson of the Lopes family, she’s been rather vocal about their exclusion from the development of the film.

Reigndrop recently spoke with MadamNoire about the situation:
Reigndrop definitely feels some type of way about the fact that Lisa?s family was the only family not shown in the biopic and she said some of the creative liberties the producers took with Lisa?s story line ? like why she put tape over her mouth in the ?Creep? video were just plain inaccurate.
When it comes to logistics, Reigndrop said she wasn?t even allowed to walk the red carpet at the movie premiere in New York or invited on set to watch the taping of the film in Atlanta.
For the record, Reigndrop feels the same as the general public about Lil Mama’s portrayal of her sister and shouts her out for doing a great job in the film but she also feels that her family should have been treated a bit better in the situation.
