Perri "Pebbles" Reid, former manager to TLC, finally spoke out about the group's recent VH1 biopic CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story. In an interview with Wendy Williams, Pebbles said that she had been tightlipped about the grievances the group's members had with her due to existing confidentiality agreements. However, she elaborated on why she had previously released a statement rejecting the movie's portrayal of her character.

According to Pebbles, group member Chilli had been having an affair with her then-husband, executive and producer L.A. Reid. She also insisted that she was not responsible for kicking Chilli out of the group, saying that this decision had been made by the other two members of the group, T-Boz and Left Eye.

Both T-Boz and Chilli have taken to Twitter to rebuff Pebbles' claims. In a statement, the two said, "No member of TLC ever slept with or had sexual contact with L.A. Reid as Perri falsely accused Chilli of on The Wendy Williams Show.  In fact, Perri had falsely allege[d] the same thing happened with Tionne. I would like to confirm that Perri Reid was the only person who ever suggested that Chilli leave TLC.  Neither Lisa nor I ever wanted or suggested that."
