Over the course of their illustrious career, TLC have been no stranger to controversy.
Last week saw the group’s surviving members T-Boz and Chilli engulfed in exactly that after an interview with an Australian news outlet seemingly saw them “take aim” at Rihanna.
In the segment that aired, the Grammy winning duo supposedly slam the Bajan star for her barely-there outfits.
Naturally, the model-with-a-mic charged back, which subsequently encouraged her fans to do the same.
The result? An onslaught of online abuse aimed at TLC by RiRi’s Navy.
Clearly exhausted by the foolery, T-Boz and Chilli sat down with Yahoo Down Under to clarify their comments – which they insist were cleverly edited and had nothing to with Rihanna at all.
The situation in their words after the jump…
Kudos to the ladies for classily keeping it real. Hopefully it serves as a lesson to a certain fanbase to not jump the gun.
Did anybody actually realize that TLC NEVER said it was aimed at Rihanna?
Rihanna just pressed cos she be naked every time she leaves the house.
Insecure heifer
TRUTH! bwahahaha!
IF RIHANNA IS SO NSECURE WHY WOULD SHE BE SO
BOLD ENOUGH TO SHOW OFF HER BODY.
EVERYONE SAYIN SHE INSECURE, BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THAT DAMN BRAVE TO BE THAT OPEN TO SHOW YOURSELF OFF TO THE WORLD. YOU CANNOT BE INSECURE AND WEAR WHAT SHE WEARS.
Also, what does Rihanna have to be insecure about? She has a lot going for herself. A career that she says she love, family and friends, wealth, money & fame, a nice body, and all the material possessions a rich person can have, and she’s done somuch at 26 yrs old.
All of what you named are great things, but anyone xan be insecure. In fact, some of the most insecure people are the ones that appear to have it all. But do you really know her home life with her family, friends, career, and how much happiness that is bringing her? All you can do is speculate just as I can. But she can very easily be insecure, just as any human can. .
They were talking about rih and the
Sad thing anyone who diss rih all the
Haters come out and side with the other
Person tboz always talking crap about
Other females she thinks because they older
They can say crap about rih and she suppose
To take it you know what I notice
With rih haters you all hate rih
For no reason tboz came for bey too
Rih do not apologize to these heifers
To “talk about someone” you have to at least imply that it was about them. There was no such implication from them directly. Like, at all. People like you fall victim to something called EDITING. You’re buying into fake artificial drama, for what?
THE MEDIA ARE JUST CREATING ENMITY BTW BLACK ARTIST!!! CHECK TV SHOWS? WHATEVER WHATEVER WIVES OF WHATEVER! BASKET KINIKAN WIVES OF WHATEVER, BLACK ARTIST FIGHTING IN THERE?
MUSICIANS ARE HEADED AGAINST EACH OTHER CHECK THE HEADLINE OF HOW MANY WHITES ARTIST ARE BEING HEADED BOMBED TOGETHER BY MEDIA.
THEM FOOLS BLACK ARTIST TOO FALLING FOR IT.
SEE HOW RIHANNA AND TETYANA TAYLOR COST HER ARE CONTRACT.
YOU GUYS EITHER BLACK OR WHITE OR ASIAN OR RED , OR YELLOW PAWPAW SHOULD SUPPORTING THIS TREND. I AM A BLACK PERSON BUT NOT WRITING THESE BECAUSE AM BLACK BUT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY. CHAI GOD DEY OOO
So she jumped the gun again? & took to twitter? I dont understand why she feels she can go against 2nd best selling girl group of all time like LOL @ 10 million US after 7 albums
thats how she gets fans by inciting riots online .. damn shame to see what she’ll do when twitter crashes for good (bc it will, or be sold eventually)
So Mariah Carey’s Emancipation out sold Rihanna’s entire album sales in the U.S.? LoL MC’s a bad chick!!!
I knew there was more to this. Somebody has a guilty conscious. Name rhymes with Teanna.
Rihanna thinks everything is about her and he way the media twists peoples words just to create controversy where there is none.
Rihanna knows she has a career built on selling s** so just own up to it and quit acting like your music got you to where you are. You’re not talented at all so without your s** appeal, you’re nothing!
Umm you dumbasses the TV segment clearly said it was aimed at Rih!!! Check YouTube or world star!!!!!! #getyafactzstr8 THOT
Yes because CLEARLY World Star Hip Hop and YouTube are the MOST credible sources.
Rihanna dragged THE F**** out of them hypocritical flop ass b******! And that’s that.
You definitely didnt watch the video above, That ratchet ho3 didnt dragg shitt! If anything she made her and her fans look immature and ridiculous.
And SALES has drug the f**** outta moomooriah u funky dengy pusssy sslut
You know that’s only supposed to come out on a Kim or Nicki post. Put that ratchet h** back up. Lol
Honey icki just causes me to start slayn hoez like u. I just really cut up on her blogs.
LoL Rihanna fan shoud never attempt to shade Mariah with album sales!!!! Mariah has single albums that out sold Rihanna’s entire 7 albums combined!!!
Rihanna can’t catch MC’s album sales if she stay b*** naked 24seven(she will) but to no avail!!
TLC has NEVER flopped hun. In fact, Their worst selling album STILL trumps Rihannas Only number 1 album. SO POOF BE GON, LEARN YA HISTORY YOUNG GRASSHOPPER
THANK YOU! So it was never even about her but she felt a type of way because it applied. A hit dog will holler I guess… Go TLC!
The roaches has no room to talk when you bugs went a** s*** over Mariah not hearing Drunken H**. Even more irony is your name.
LMAO! This post has absolutely nothing to do with Beyoncé or Mariah.. You are so pressed. You must like her more than me since you always bringing her up..
THE MEDIA MADE IT ABOUT RIHANNA, EVIDENTLY THEY MEANT TO MAKE IT SEEM AS IF TLC WAS TALKING ABOUT RIHANNA, BY PUTTING UP RIHANNA’S PICTURE WHILE REPEATING TLC’S COMMENTS. ANYWAY
KUDOS TO RIHANNA. TLC RUN THAT DAMN MOUF TOO MUCH.
Bitxh go sit….puppy
If you go back to the post where this first happened, I even said that TLC was not talking about the bittch directly… The Radio news station edited it to make it seem that way.
–
–
I would advise everyone bashing TLC to go listen to the ENTIRE interview, Like I said, They were speaking about atist selling s** in GENERAL! Not coming for rihanna…
–
–
Now her own insecurities have shown her ass and she looks dumb… And if the shoe fit, she wore that mutha fukka that day… Always thinking somebody coming for her.

BYE
You say that you weren’t shading Rihanna, which is a lie but how could you shade female performers for wearing skimpy outfits when both you and hamburger helper are wearing costumes that you’d find in the ‘slutty genie’ section of a Halloween shop? Y’all just don’t want the navy to drag your ass from Australia back to the states,cl cleverly edited to do shade Rihanna and you didn’t know? Lies. Y’all know exactly what was going on, you needed buzz for your tour with the Aussies so you thought this stunt would help garner attention. Sounds like something the thief would do!
How you been girl?
Been great! Today is my birthday but I’m turning up at work 🙁
How are you babe?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOO!

Sometime thats how it is, But they better give you Time and half on your Bday! Or something

WHO put these lies out about Rihanna being with Future? He ain’t even Rihanna’s type. Errbody should know her type by now. I don’t believe Future and Ciara are broke up.
LMFAO @ U thinking Rihanna dates strong black men & not lightskin twinks

Lmao damn future
Rats are always drawn to food, even if it ain’t for them.
One rat felt offended without even being mention.
Put down bread for one bird and the greedy one grabs it first.
Need I go on.
RI-THIRST
I guess everyone forgot that if the radio station did edit the recording of a live broadcast to make it sound like they were referring to Rihanna then how is Rihanna insecure if the station made it seem like they were directly talking to her? Use the logic boo boo, if we thought(I still think they shaded her) then what makes you think Rihanna wouldn’t have? Smh.
Pressed as hell. TLC got dragged and will so again after this lie. That Beyoncé impact for real
I agree they did talk about rih
Both these migits lying they back
Tracking now because they thought
No one would defend rih hypocrits
It was rih they were talking about
tboz is full of it she shaded bey too
It wasn’t about her is exactly what I said. Rihanna has serious immaturity issues, it didn’t bother madonna when they called her a ho so why is rihanna so mad, especially when she knows it’s true? I remember a girl who thought she was unnattractive told me she had to wear revealing outfits and act a certain way, b/c she knew she couldn’t compete with other girls based off her looks. So maybe Rihanna thinks she’s ugly. I honestly don’t get why ppl think she’s so good lookong, her facial features (forehead, nose, etc are ugly). Only thing that is pretty is her eyes. Sadly the same ppl that think she’s attractive now wouldn’t if she were dark skinned.
The last part is true!
Oh shut up because a woman defend
Herself she has issues gtfoh and
Been immature I applaud rih for standing
Up to her haters
Honey rhi was wrong. #DEALWITHIT
I don’t really think that they were talking about her. They could have talked about some other girls. I mean it’s not only Rihanna who is always n***. Many bitchess do it so I don’t think they were talking about her.
Like don’t try and change s*** around now just because you’re getting dragged. Say what you mean and mean what you say. I respect b****** that don’t go back on what they say, TLC look real p****** and now the hive/pressed hive aka digger bey is having a fill day with this. Lmao I can’t at them saying Rihanna has self esteem issues when your fave just came out with a song about being fat in the music industry. What ever happened to pretty hurts again?
I believe TLC said, “ain’t no body gonna spanks us so…” Who TF is Rihanna or her internet thugs for anybody to need to back track anything? We already know rihanna can’t fight but will ball up in the fetal position while she’s getting banged up, who the hell is afraid of that?
You didn’t answer my question though and you’re a hive so you’re just as pressed
As far as your question… Chile I wouldn’t know, I do not stan for that woman I’m so insulted! Lmao
You’re right, it was very rude of me to even think you would Stan for that lady. I apologize
Lol. Apology accepted
Rihanna and her navy need to get their hearing checked out because TLC never said “Rihanna”
thats just Rihanna being insecure knowing she’s naked all the time
u dont have to say names to throw shade. shut the fxck up
Lies, the photo of tlc with their boobs is in Vibe mag and had nothing to do with breast cancer awareness. They WERE being controversial with Left Eye on the cover with a fireman hat on at the time with the house fire. I can’t side with T-Boz when she took her lil girl to see Miley and defended her trashy ways. At the end, this is the best TLC promo in years.
TLC are legends in this game, so they should be respected. T-Box let the media set her up, last time it was Nicki (even tho she was talking about Britney).
I agree with you on the point of it being wrong for T-Boz to take her girl to a Miley concert. When we support and celebrate the act of people taking their clothes off and being slutty and trashy, it becomes a demand of the consumer and thus an industry standard, which explains why T-Boz keeps meeting young girls who are told they need to show more skin. It’s like T-Boz doesn’t recognize how she perpetuates the problem that she’s speaking out against by supporting Miley.
I could careless about this tired ass story.
Really? Then m********* WHY are half the gotdamn post YOURS??!!! ugly bitchh
Obviously the station is to blame their the ones who said they were talking bout Rihanna.
Uh huh! And people keep saying that Rihanna’s name wasn’t mentioned. Lmao these people must be deaf or dumb *in my jazmine voice*
Hey Molly boo!!
I hate both of u hoez but i see no lies. The tv DID say that. Then sissies like you two ans rasio stations kept it goin. STILL Rhi shouldve been woman enuf to just…ask them. Smh
y’all dumb f****** fallin for their damage control. bye felicia
FU CK U!!!!!
And let’s be real, it wasn’t JUST about Rihanna, but Rihanna was the most recent topic.
But i heard Chili was the original industry h** anyways.
Heard the same about Ciara.
Heard the same about Aaliyah…. oops I mean D********
HO3!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrWyduOm7CU
Didn’t Whoreliyah get married at 15?
MARRIED! Didn’t Ciara have a baby out of wedlock? Isn’t that a lil backwards? Take notes from Beyonce and do it the right way.
What kinda b**** gets married at 15? Why was her young fast ass messing with grown men anyways? Her parents must’ve been deadbeats.
Pretty common for f a g s to blame the victim. But a deadbeat would be the father of 4 by 4 different women and being across the world partying with a rival while the 4th baby mama is giving birth.

mark your such a fake ass b****.
@Molly and FutureCiara you B-I-T-C-H-E-S are foul! You should never talk ill about the dead you morons! Ppl shouldn’t even talk about you gremlins after ya’ll leave this earth, even though I highly doubt ya’ll would be missed with ignorant views like yours.
I don’t give a f**** about how you feel h**.
Clearly no body cares about you either or you wouldn’t be so angry
Dead or Alive insulting someone is RUDE just cus you dead doesnt make it any worse
TLC may not have been talking about one specific person, but what they said definitely applies to Rihanna. People will get over her and she will fade away soon enough. There’s only so much of the body you can show before people get bored, and Rihanna has pretty much revealed all.
Y’all been saying that since 2005. Keep wishing.
Ikr. I’m still waiting for Rita Ora or someone random to replace her. Rihanna’s brand is only getting stronger. Keep praying for her downfall silly rabbits! It ain’t happening! 😆
TELL ‘EM TLC! haha
How unfortunate is it that this entire situation came to this?
TLC never mentioned rihanna! You could clearly tell from the interview they were speaking generally! Of course rihanna got offended cuz she’s the only “artist” right now that shows her tits everywhere she can get away with it. Not surprised by any of this cuz rihanna is just as immature and delusional as her rihtards, oops I meant navy.
No she was offended because her name was mentioned and her music video was played throughout the video….gtfoh with the technicalities.
She wasn’t naked in 2005 .. She’s not a great singer or dancer or anything really but being naked is her strength. Literally the only body part we haven’t seen is her v*****. Prob saving that for the next album ..
Oh no, TITS! Oh god! It’s really not a big deal today. Only people who are mad are f a g s, fat b****** and jealous h***. Now which on is you?
mark im guessing you all of the above
Truth
Mark is such a bitter f*** like ewww chill tf out thought we were cool?
Well if TLC’s intentions were not to direct such comments towards Rihanna, they definitely have bad timing..

Get the f*** outta here! The interviewer CLEARLY said they singled out Rihanna. They played her music video in the background, and alluded that they were speaking of her from the f****** get go. They shaded Bey, Nicki and now Rih but defended the s*** outta Miley. The irony! Truth of the matter is, no one cares about these old birds outside of TLC. At least DC members both past and present (excluding Farrah) have made names for themselves outside of DC. 😆 BAI old thots. 😆

I hate that we use social media to attack fans and artists, and compare them to other artists. Who’s the best? Who’s better? Who’s a flop? Who’s FAT. Who’s a has been washed up w****. It’s a trivial shallow way to treat yourselves and others. Monsters, the Navy, Bey hive, animals whatever. These artists aren’t helping by grooming and condoning this fanaticism, like the opposite of role models, hate roles models is more accurate.
R**** is childish.
Lmaoooo
THE MEDIA ARE JUST CREATING ENMITY BTW BLACK ARTIST!!! CHECK TV SHOWS? WHATEVER WHATEVER WIVES OF WHATEVER! BASKET KINIKAN WIVES OF WHATEVER, BLACK ARTIST FIGHTING IN THERE?

THEM FOOLS BLACK ARTIST TOO FALLING FOR IT.
SEE HOW RIHANNA AND TETYANA TAYLOR COST HER ARE CONTRACT.
YOU GUYS EITHER BLACK OR WHITE OR ASIAN OR RED , OR YELLOW PAWPAW SHOULD SUPPORTING THIS TREND. I AM A BLACK PERSON BUT NOT WRITING THESE BECAUSE AM BLACK BUT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY. CHAI GOD DEY OOO
Just like the hive went in on them about that girl supposedly being Beyonce who dissed them on the red carpet! F*** you Sam and die!
And f*** TLC
But…. TLC>>>>>>DC
That is all!
If, TLC are considered legends then so is BEYONCE…
I miss Michael… Anyways, Rihanna is just a disrespectful woman all together.
Lool. Rihanna felt some type if way. Thats why sometimes its best to be like Beyonce and pay them dust because now who looks the fool.
Rihanna doesn’t look like a fool. No one gives a f*** about TLC. This story came and went within the matter of a day.
Tboz and Chilli are hos and sold s**.I remember their trashy music. The only classy one was Left Eye.At the end of the day these two got clocked for being hypocrites.
p.s chilli is a big industry ho.Why do you think Ushit dumped her dirty ass??
lol funny no disrespect but Lisa was the one doing all the “unclassy stuff” burning down houses etc sisqo is a industry h** and she mad CB replaced her
Obviously you don’t remember their music . Some of it was s*** but never trashy and their music had positive messages . They didn’t make music about strip clubs and dollar bills
I don’t see how people keep saying Rihanna is insecure when the broadcast made it seem like they were talking about Rihanna(although I don’t agree with how she handled it)
@SAM, this should be a lesson to Rihanna too, not just her fanbase. She jumped the gun to strike back on twitter when she should have known better. I’m sure her words have been taken out of context before. Like the ladies of TLC stated, if she had an issue she could have contacted them directly and given them a chance to explain instead of being quick to jump the gun.
LOL can they even afford to pay their cellphone bills? Last time I checked, T-Boz’s networth was -15 million 😆
Dead at FutureCiara’s comments on “D********”. Im confused, didn’t your fav try to replicate Aaliyah? You would think a Ciara fan would love Aaliyah given their sound and image. Yikes, Im not really a fan of Aaliyah but those awful comments about her death feel wrong. Coming from my ruthless shady ass, it means alot hun.
one would think Rih fans would stan for Xtina after all rih tried to do her whole Dirrrty era with her Good girl gne bad persona and you would stan for Fefe Dobson after she stole her looks . I assume you love madonna and Grace jones to after all rih takes most of her ideas from them and you would love beyonce after her whole first 2 albums was bside bey
Yessss for the Destiny’s Child playing in the background towards the end lol
rihanna is insecure she KNOWS thats her gimmick and thats what she uses for attention! Im so tired of her twitter gangsta persona Girl if you so BAD do it the BAD way not on twitter hell @ the ppl atleast and she likes making fun of people but minus make up home girl looks like government cheese
Oops.
Now you KNOW Rihanna feels stupid and embarassed.
It’s not ALWAYS about you, girl, even though you do those type of thing to make it ALL about you.
Rihanna needs to grow up and realize everything doesn’t deserve a reaction and her fans praise it and think it’s okay ! It maybe be ok for a rich b**** but not for a broke mf ! Every time says something about her she runs to twitter like wtf you getting to old for that !
