Key Points:
- Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas faced backlash from TLC fans after reports revealed her political donations to GOP-affiliated PACs, including those linked to Donald Trump and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
- FEC filings show Thomas made 17 donations totaling $897.14 between April and November 2024, primarily to WinRed, Never Surrender Inc, and the Trump National Committee PAC.
- Social media users also uncovered a deleted Instagram post from Thomas spreading a debunked conspiracy about Michelle Obama, and noted her follows of prominent MAGA figures on Twitter and Instagram.
- Despite the controversy, Thomas has not publicly responded and recently performed with TLC at the iHeartRadio Music Awards; the group is preparing for their “It’s Iconic Tour” starting in August.
- The situation highlights a trend of some celebrities publicly supporting or donating to Trump, similar to Nicki Minaj’s recent endorsements and appearances at Trump events.
