TLC singer Chilli reveals political stance after donating to Trump campaign, sharing bizarre Michelle Obama conspiracy
TLC singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas clarified that she wasn’t a supporter of Donald Trump after donating to the president’s campaign and resharing a conspiracy about Michelle Obama.
“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,” the “No Scrubs” crooner wrote via Instagram Saturday.
Referring to the donation, she added, “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.”
Thomas, 55, stated that she loves children and cares deeply about her dad, who is a veteran.
“I have learned a valuable lesson and ask for grace as I navigate this,” she concluded, signing off, “Love, Chilli 💕.”
Thomas previously donated to MAGA-aligned organizations during Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, per records obtained by the Independent.
Per the records, the donations included $210.60 to WinRed, a Republican party fundraising platform, $486.54 to Never Surrender Inc., which is associated with Trump, and $340.60 towards the Trump National Committee JFC.
Additionally, the “Creep” singer shared a separate video, stating that she has the “utmost respect for Obama” after allegedly resharing a conspiracy video about the former first lady’s gender.
“I would never say or do anything that is disrespectful to her or to any woman,” Thomas added.
“I have no clue that the repost had happened until I started getting phone calls and messages from everybody and I immediately went to my page to see what was going on,” Thomas said.
The actress claimed that she is not very “savvy” with technology, and the share, like and repost buttons on Instagram are all “very close.”
“Clearly, I was scrolling, and my thumb hit the repost button,” she added, explaining how she also supported former President Barack Obama in his 2008 and 2012 campaigns.
Thomas insisted that she “supported the organization that Michelle had in the schools for exercise for the kids.”
Several people defended the hitmaker, with one commenting that they often repost content by accident, saying, “This happens to me all the time! Instagram needs to remove that repost button.”
“I mistakenly reposted things plenty of times. I believe her,” a second chimed in.
A rep for Trump wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
