Both Pebbles and Ashley Reid are STILL giving their side of "The TLC Story". Pebbles says that the situation tore up her family and daughter Ashley is cautioning fans that there's more to Chilli "Rozonda" Thomas than what you see on tv. Listen to the clips inside...
It might have taken Perri "Pebbles" Reid twenty years to speak up for herself....but she's on a roll and she ain't stopping! Now that she's gotten VH1 to stick their tail between their legs and issue a semi-apology, she's talking to her good friend, radio vet Frank Ski about the devastation that the TLC/LaFace saga wrecked on her family and how it's tarnished her image in the industry.
On her biggest regrets:
When asked about her biggest regrets, she told Frank that she regretted bringing her vision (TLC) to LaFace Records. "What happened there was horrific. This tore my family up."
On TLC's cash flow problem:
"How do you take somebody's money? Even if you think I'm a crook, I don't have the money bag. Do you really think out of BMG, Arista, CLive Davis...Pebbles has the money bag? We're at the bottom. Money flows from the top"
In other family talks.....
Ashley Reid talked to HipHopDailyPress where she warned fans about "Chilli" bad "spirit" and cleared up her controversial statement about beating Chilli down in the street.
On what would happen if she bumped into T-Boz or Chilli:
“I do not know exactly what would happen…but I wouldn’t be quiet. I’m also not afraid of going to jail....but I would put my family’s wants and concerns first so I wouldn’t act off of pure spontaneous emotion.”
On not buying to a celebrity's image:
“I love TLC….but growing up the way I grew up, what I’ve understood my whole life is that these people are still people. They might not be saints. They actually legitimately might not be good spirits at the end of the day. I’m looking at her not as Chilli…I’m looking at her as Rozonda.”
