Pebbles appeared on the Wendy Williams show yesterday to tell her side of the TLC story. Like millions of us that watch the VH1 TLC “Crazy Sexy Cool” story Pebbles Reid who was the manager TLC was labeled the ‘bad guy’ who underpaid the group; paying them $25 per week under contract, and buying them Rav 4 cars after they achieved “multi-platinum” success. TLC ended up filing for bankruptcy and blamed it all on mismanagement of Pebbles Reid. The group split from Pebbles after purchasing three million dollars for each letter [T-L-C].
Well, Pebbles told a different story during her interview while noting that she could not provide specifics or grave details due to confidentiality agreement contracts. Pebbles said the only true part of the story was that she wore “Chanel” bags. Pebbles says T-Boz and Left Eye kicked Chilli out the group and it was not be her doing as Chill stated. She went on to say that one of the group rules was that there was to be no “fraternizing with the help” and the girls were bothered that Chilli was courting with music producer Dallas Austin.
As for the purchase of the Rav 4 Pebbles says that she only bought the girls what they asked for, and noted that they were not making “ferarri” money. “First new artists contract you get promotional tour contracts, opening conctracts, during their first album, you’re not making ‘ferarri money’ during your first album” says Pebbles.
Pebbles then dropped a bombshell and said that her estranged relationship with Chilli stem from Chill sleeping with her husband L.A Reid and says that Left Eye and T-Box was aware of it.
Pebbles firmly stated that she has hired lawyers and is going on after VH1 network [also] for promoting the movie as a fictional tale. She says that VH1 sent her a letter saying that the entire movie was not all truth tales and Pebbles says while she has many options on the table to settle the dispute she is not backing out of her lawsuit.
