TLC Movie 2013: 'Pebbles' Talks Lawsuit, Controversy & Chilli Sleeping With Husband On 'Wendy Williams Show' [VIDEO]
TLC's former manager Perri "Pebbles" Reid took on an interview for the first time since being portrayed as one who stole millions of dollars from the group in the CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story biopic.
After the movie aired Monday, Oct. 21, on VH1, Lisa "Lefteye" Lopes' sister Reigndrop bashed the film as well as Reid's daughter Ashley, who used her online radio show to reveal that group member Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas had an affair with the latter's father, L.A. Reid.
Pebbles made an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show Nov. 13 to share her side of the story. She addressed rumors that she kicked Chilli out of the group because she was acting inappropriately with the group's producer, Dallas Austin.

"I absolutely did not kick Chilli out of the group. T-Boz and Left Eye did," she said. "They kicked her out because of what they said was happening in the studio. that Chilli dating Dallas was the conflict of interest."
"Everybody is going to gravitate, I married my producer," she added. "That was love. But what I'm saying is this, they did not like it, they did not want it. And it is the truth."
Though she never caught Chilli and her then husband "in the act," Pebbles had very strong suspicions that the two were having an affair. She told the talk show host, "For years I didn't want to believe that because I felt like they were daughters to me."
She also defended herself when it came to how she was represented in the biopic. Her character in the movie paid TLC $25 a week and bought them Toyota Rav4s as their first cars.
"That's a lie...I don't do $25 things. I'm a very generous person," Pebbles explained. "In terms of the Rav4, that's what you asked for. Listen, you don't have Ferrari money. Why get you one? You haven't made that."
