TLC's manager Pebbles Reid has spoken out about how she was portrayed on Vh1's CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story and is demanding a retraction.

In her first official statement since the movie aired on Monday Oct. 21, Reid wrote:

"First I want to thank all of you for the well wishes and prayers. I apologize for the delay in responding to the movie, but I wanted to gather my thoughts. I have always been a private person and this unprovoked attack has been extremely upsetting to me and my family. I have needed time to spend with my family and for personal reflection.

The movie contains many false and defamatory statements and scenes about me. Please know that I have never cheated or mislead anyone. I will defend my reputation, accomplishments, and character. My attorney is in the process of demanding a retraction of the false and defamatory statements and scenes about me from VH1.

My silence has empowered individuals looking for a payday at my expense. I have held my peace for 20 years and it's time the truth comes out. I will be sharing my story in the appropriate venue at the appropriate time. With all my heart I thank you for your faithful support.

I am extremely proud of the success and massive accomplishments of TLC-the group I discovered, managed, and mentored. I helped push open doors for TLC and other women in this male dominated industry. My sacrifices ultimately opened the door for not only a new wave of female performers in this industry but also a new generation of female executives. That backdrop makes the movie extremely personally upsetting to me."

Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas spoke with Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club morning show about Pebbles' portrayal before the movie was released.

Watkins said, "It's not exaggerated...She did do some good for us. She put us together she taught us some things but then... when you work with people ,there's always things that you're never gonna agree with and you don't like their ways. People part, and she never got over that."

Chilli added, "It's just control. She's a control freak."

A lawsuit wouldn't come as a surprise to TLC.

T-Boz said, "We're getting sued maybe...She said she'll sue if she sees one things he doesn't like."
