The TLC biopic CrazySexyCool: A TLC Story premiered on VH1 last Monday night, and over a week later, their former manager Perri “Pebbles” Reid has finally issued a statement. If you’ve seen the film, you know that Pebbles wasn’t exactly portrayed in a positive light. In fact, she was made out to be a conniving, money-hungry record exec that took advantage of 3 young women that wanted to make it. Whether these are really the “facts” is up for debate, but one thing’s for sure: Pebbles is PISSED. (As was her son, who has already spoke out.) “This unprovoked attack has been extremely upsetting to me and my family,” Pebbles said in her statement, which she says took so long to release because she was so shocked. “‘CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story’ contains many false and defamatory statements and scenes about me.” Pebbles insists she has never cheated the group she “discovered, managed, and mentored,” and plans to defend her name by any means necessary. She says her attorney is already in the process of demanding retractions from VH1.
