Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas of TLC is pushing back against claims that she’s aligned with the MAGA movement after public records appeared to show a donation to Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
Chilli, 55, took to Instagram on March 28 to set the record straight.
“I WANT TO BE CLEAR: I am not MAGA and do not support any of the many policies that are causing great harm to the American people,” she wrote. “I made a mistake too many make: I did not read the fine print. I thought I was supporting causes against human trafficking and for veterans.”
Cheryl “Salt” James — who will hit the road with Salt N Pepa, TLC and En Vogue this summer — quickly stepped in with support.
“Chilli, please keep your pretty little head up,” Salt wrote on Instagram. “We know your heart and I truly pray that you don’t lose one minute of sleep or peace over any of this.”The controversy comes just weeks after Chilli faced backlash for reposting a debunked social media video claiming Michelle Obama was transgender.
