  1. We knew it was coming, and here it is. The article only mentions her suing Viacom, so I'm wondering if she left TLC, L.A. Reid, and VH1 out of it. http://www.centrictv.com/music/articles/2014/04/28/perri-pebbles-reid-sues-viacom-for-40-mil.html The former manager of TLC sues over portrayal in group's VH1 biopic Justin Dwayne Joseph Posted: 04/28/2014 10:14 AM EDT Perri “Pebbles” Reid---singer and former manager of the R&B trio TLC---is suing Viacom for $40 million over the group's made for cable television biopic. PEBBLES BREAKS SILENCE ON TLC DRAMA, TALKS CHILLI AND L.A. REID AFFAIR In federal documents filed in an Atlanta court on April 25, Reid, 48, claims that the 2013 VH1 movie CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story portrayed her “as a conniving and dishonest business woman who hoodwinked three innocent girls and exploited their talent for her own personal gain.” PLAYLIST: THE MUSIC OF PERRI "PEBBLES" REID “[Viacom] ignored fundamental canons of journalistic and literary conduct by publishing false and defamatory accusations with actual malice,” states the documents. The lawsuit also states that contrary to what was depicted in the film, Reid never controlled TLC’s lawyers or accountants, never withheld contract terms from group members, and always paid the group what they were owed. WAS PEBBLES SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR TLC'S MONEY PROBLEMS? After selling 11 million copies of their 1994 album CrazySexyCool, TLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Members Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, and the late Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes sued LaFace Records and Reid's management company, Pebbitone, claiming they were each paid only $50,000 in 1993 and 1994. A spokesperson for Viacom said, “It’s our policy not to comment on matters in litigation.”
