Both Chilli and T-Boz are serving as consultants and executive producers for the film. In explaining the filming the remaining duo says:
“There is so much to our story that hasn’t been told until this movie,” T-Boz said in the press release. “Fans will be able to really understand the dynamic of the group and why that formula has not been able to be duplicated.”
Sidebar: I can’t wait to see this film and see why Pebbles [TLC’s manager] stole their money] and what ultimately caused the break-up of the group.
