[@crystaljames2290]

I feel like they shouldn't ask her about the car crash cuz thats making her relive the trauma of basically seeing her sister die. I think thats too personal.

[@lokeylady25]

Yea I can understand that, but you know we all want to know

[@MOA0831]

Crystal James Thank you, and just for kicks, it all sucks.

[@denisetugman5414]

"Ain't Too Proud To Beg" was their first single Reindrop, "Oooooh On The TLC Tip" was the album and T-Boz and Chilli said that Left Eye named All 4 Albums and designed their costumes ect. They said how involved she was, so since you're hearing stuff from the fans, watch some of TLC interviews with and without Left Eye and you'll see how much they credit her.

[@KryBabyAqua]

I understand what she's sayin about they didn't invite her to come watch the filming, but she actin like they made Lisa look like a criminal

[@leslietaylor4097]

Kira They made her look like every negative the media used to say about her 😕

[@lexaebrown2124]

Honestly from watching this i feel like chilli and T-boz knew Lisa lopes more than her little sister. Like lets be honest who knows more of your secrets you best friend or a little sibling of yours?

[@Betaleikz]

I got exactly same feeling.

[@justmissjamey]

I agree...also the sister is beautiful, and im sure she knows some things, but to me I bet she was super young and didn't really understand dealings, and the things that were going on business, music and all that. TLC traveled together, practiced together, so I am sure that being jammed that close for so long during stressful, happy, angry, times I would think you would get to see someones true colors. Now with that said, I also think they emblished in the movie because its tv. I think that lil mamma did an AMAZING AMAZING job...and also the sister here is saying after tlc was signed, left eye moved her whole family to her....well if she was making only 25 dollars a week after just singing, how would that work? How would she have money to do that on that type of money?? That's another thing in the movie, I think was false about them getting 25 dollars a week

[@Spacekiller34]

And they said that they hung out with each other more than their own family

[@brittanylove4316]

+TheBookWorm1718 Just because they didn't want to go to Honduras, doesn't mean they were doing it out of malice, or that they weren't close. I wouldn't have wanted to go either. Lisa was going for, sometimes, over 20 days. Not everyone is looking for spiritual rejuvenation. But, let's be real. Even in "regular society", we spend more time with our coworkers everyday than we do our own families, so I would bet Lisa spent more time during those years with TLC than her own family. I'm sure the industry made them dislike each other at times (as it has done with EVERY female group), but they still loved each other.

[@patronsaintoffashion2722]

Brittany Love I would have absolutely gone to Honduras if it was my best friend. especially if I was famous and could do anything I felt like.

[@ummeshariff]

Actually, Lisa's sister was in the movie!! She was the one who pulled Lisa from the house when it was burning! Yes, that was her!

[@elijahscott6864]

nah i don't think thats right that would have been Lisa cousin or Andre's cousin the sister is to young for her to be hanging out like that....

[@ummeshariff]

She not that younger, and if you listen to interviews, it is said.

[@Ladiibugg1988]

Elijah Scott According to Lisa's interview with Sister 2 Sister Magazine, Raina (Reigndrop) was the one that pull her out the house when she started the fire. www.geocities.ws/ladylefteye/s2sinterview.html

[@gospelett]

***** I read this interview a few months ago and was just floored. She really opened up about her whole life and experiences. It really made me see through her eyes what really happened. If you ask me, this interview would be a great script for a movie just about Left Eye.

[@Ladiibugg1988]

gospelett I agree. She was very opened, especially after the bankruptcy situation.

[@TimiaWilliams]

First off this is T-boz and Chilli's perspective! Her family wasn't always around during everything so they cant be mad at the movie

[@crystallott5735]

Yes your right but the movie is only showing that side of her and Left eye was much more than that is what lil sis is saying. The sister did say she was around TLC and saw things and she cleared up why Left eye made the decisions she made because the movie shows her just having an bad attitude.

[@menerva4]

With all due respect to the Lopez family, and to the memory of Lisa"Left Eye" Lopez. There were a lot of things missing out of that script. If they had made the movie that Reigndrop suggested, that movie would have been longer than Titanic. Give Lisa's,and TLC's fans a little credit. Nobody that followed her career thought that she was selfish, and personally, I did not take that from that movie. I saw a young women in a trio of strong young women who was fighting to be heard; end of story. Hollywood is going to always make a project that is going to look out for their bottom line. Which means that somethings where changed, some where left completely out(Did you guys notice that after Chilli broke up with Dallas Austin, they just said that she was single, and didn't in anyway mention that that was when she hooked up with Usher. Probably because that's a whole movie unto itself.) and somethings that you might not want to be, get emphasized for dramatic effect. The same thing happened with the Temptations movie. The Ruffin family were in and uproar when it came out over how David Ruffin's death was depicted in the movie, and filed a lawsuit. They didn't even bring up the fact that the reason that Paul Williams was so sick and had to leave the group was because, like Tionne Watkins, he too suffered from Sickle Cell Anemia, they just depicted him as a fall down drunk and left it at that .Before Lisa's family signed off on those contracts; instead of expecting to be kept in the loop, they could have, and should have demanded it as part of the deal. "If I sign off on this, I want to be there through the whole process because I want to make sure that your portrayal of my love one, who is no longer here to defend any of it, is accurate,and puts those situations in the best light as possible, or no deal." What were they going to say,"No"? You can't tell TLC's story without talking about Left Eye's contributions, and some of the crazy shit she did during the span of the groups career as a trio;You can't.

[@88osujb]

Exactly

[@1devlaree]

The idea to record 3 albums at one time to get out of their recording contract was brilliant! I can believe that Left Eye came up with that solution. After all she was the one who broken down the bankruptcy in dollars & cents and a creative genius.

[@jackie.2780]

can’t believe she asked “so how was the car wreck” 😖😖😖 cringe

[@TheMelody15]

That question was sooo ignorant, we all know what happened. Look at Reigndrop eyes, you can tell she's still traumatized from the accident.

[@candaceelisabeth3363]

Lisa's sister is only a few years younger than her. I don't know where people are getting this "Tionne and Chilli would know her better because she was young" blase skip. Furthermore, TLC worked together. They did not hang together on personal levels.

[@Eriq7001]

Thank you. Lisa was NEVER on friendly terms with Rozanda or Tionne..this was more a business deal amongst the three of them. Each three had there own personal lives and friends.

[@patronsaintoffashion2722]

Candace Elisabeth they're getting that from her answers where she seems to know nothing about this shit. that's where I'm getting it.

[@jovi8277]

Candace Elisabeth ummm tboz an left eye grew up together like sisters

[@leslietaylor4097]

Antonia B. That's not true they only met in forming TLC and while they were certainly closer than Lisa and Chilli, the only person who Lisa grew up "like sisters" with was her little sister Raina. (Also Raina wasn't even super young. She's only two years younger.)

[@aminatak1985]

@@leslietaylor4097 she wasnt super young yes, and im sure she knows her sister alot growing up with her, but you do understand i have 2 sister, the way they see me at homes is not the same way i am with my pair friends, totally different, tboz and chilli told the story from not only their point of view but also what the media saw, i think they represented lisa very well, she is human and goes through stuff, reigndorp wants lisa to be portrayed and praised as a if nothing was ever wrong, and thats not realistic, lisa was human and went through things.

[@candaceelisabeth3363]

To eradicate all of the dumb ass statements...... If this was your sister and you KNEW first hand that there were things said about her that were inaccurate, would you keep quiet and appreciate people saying you need to "Mind your own business" etc. Those saying those things sound so ignorant. Especially given most of those saying these things are newly hipped to TLC, did not grow up during this era and clearly do not know what the truth is. Furthermore, if you have to take a clandestine route to do something, you probably should not be doing it. YES, Lisa's mother and family should have been consulted because Tionne and Chilli's mother were consulted!!! Like make some damn sense please. COMMON sense. Lisa is not here which is furthers the fact that her family should have been involved. Mama Lopes had an almost fatal car accident and has not heard from any of these so called "sisters" who PROMISED they would ALWAYS be there for her family and YES, I know for a fact and not just GOOGLE or a MOVIE.

[@kimberlyharris2344]

This is why Aaliyah's family has decided not to do a bio pic. There's always drama! I actually liked the movie and the vh1 documentaries.

[@TheQueenieofhearts]

"you guys need to understand that the story is told from t boz and chilli perspective, how they seen left eye. A lot of things were left out but its impossible to wrap 20 years into 2 hours." - issis turner. I agree and couldn't have said it better!

[@uniquelyjonique]

ummmm..now I, we, us as fans of TLC will never know what the truth was..I actually do believe the facts of the movie..but I will say this..Ms.Raindrop I am going to need for you to know that Oooohhh on the TLC Tip was the first album..Ain't to Proud to Beg was the first single off..

[@Starkardur]

TLC remains iconic because of Left Eye. Don't care what anyone else says its pretty much a fact.

[@09rew]

They all 3 had different attributes to offer and that's why they will forever be the best female group to me.

[@brittaniesidebottom]

I see it both ways, I really do. I can see why her family is upset, but I also see Chilli and T-Boz's point of view too.

[@CassieJazz96]

Me too.

[@J.Evans_Official]

This was HER SISTER not anyone's sister in the comment section y'all shut up. Lisa was portrayed as the villain if she was alive it wouldn't have been that way. I'm glad her sister is speaking up

[@KEYBEATZ]

She looks nothing like left eye to me.

[@QueenBMusic7]

agree

[@mormor653]

She has bigger eyes

[@Aqua_90]

KEYBEATZ They look alike in a way but Lisa looks more like the Mom and Reigndrop and Her Brother look more like the Dad to me

I was thinking same thing .lil mama looks more like left eye than her .

TLC was about the group if gumdrop wants to portray left eye the right way then make a movies just about her!

[@da-railsmith8828]

Gumdrop! Lol @ your comment!

thats the point Lisa was a big influence to the group creativeness and image

[@BNV_STUDIO]

U are too funny! GUMDROP LOL!!!

[@chadelo2891]

To Reigndrop. As a tlc fan that watched the movie there wasn't any thing that i saw that made me feel like left eye was a selfish person. Second if your brother is not head of the estate then he should say so,and say who is. Clear it up.I can't imagine there being any backlash for that. Honestly I don't think that's a rumor,since we are hearing it straight out of tboz's mouth. From what I'm hearing it seems your real issue with the movie is that you feel left eye wasn't praised enough. And with all due respect for her,cause i love her,the movie wasn't for that purpose. Realistically it was just an extended version of their behind the music. Hopefully, you and the other ladies can sit down and have a conversation and resolve whatever conflict there may be. Because all of this is unpretty. (Ha ha). Seriously,it's uncalled for.

[@victorcarrington391]

Truth be told, I can see Lisa's family not wanting to show Lisa and her struggles and wanting to make everything seem smooth, but truth is truth and I know it may sting to see it, but remember these things mostly played out in the media. I was in NC when Lisa challeneged T and C and when they could not get together to do a group interview for the radio stations while they were here on tour. There was drama and Lisa loved publicity! I love her still but truth is truth. I know the family may not want to hear it but it is

[@da-railsmith8828]

How somebody get you to sign paperwork for YOUR sister likeness,she signed paperwork because she wanted the money!! Reigndrop and Pebbles need to get their lies together, Reigndrop says Left-Eye came up with the way TLC dressed, Pebbles said on Wendy, she came up with the way TLC dressed... Don't be shooked if Pebbles and Reigndrop team up to try to sue TLC but trust me, they won't win, VH1 covered their back before the movie came out!!!

[@DannyM.D.N.A]

ITS NOT ABOUT U OR UR FAMILY The girls lived THIER Story not the lopes fam !! Get over it

[@nylahburns9767]

Well she still wasn’t representing well still

[@sweetcandy3053]

well what i am getting from that is that she thinks the whole movie should be about Lisa. And don't get me wrong I love Lisa but the movie is about TLC that means about 3 girls not just one. If her sister wanted this biopic to focus only on Lisa then she can make a movie herself to show what she would like world to know about Left Eye

[@Eriq7001]

Apparently one of the main issues Lisa was having was she felt being in TLC she was not getting the appreciation and recognition she deserved. After the brilliant first cd (A Hip Hop Rap Cd) the focus turned more to Tionne's singng and vocals and you heard less and of Lisa rapping on the next cd's....she didn't even really record that much in the studio with the group because Debra Killing was brought to provide more authentic vocal harmonizing. That what the issues were. And although her sister as younger than her and not around the scene that much. Rain Drops knew what was going on. For example she mentioned the fact that Lisa did put tape over her mouth on the "Creep" video set because she did not agree with the message. Also Lisa DID not want to tour the Fan Mail because she being more businesslike had the theory that touring was not TLC's greatest agenda..she figured they would loose money and the tour would not sell. She was right. The TLC was playing in huge non nba arenas with seating up to 14,000 and they were only drawing crowds up to 3000. Only two shows sold out Atlanta and New York City so they lost a lost of money.

[@patronsaintoffashion2722]

Eriq7001 I don't think reigndrop knows much at all about this situation. her answers reflect that. or she just refuses to answer shit. why she even doing the interview?

[@Eriq7001]

I have a different opinion....She knew a lot about the situation with TLC cause Lisa shared a lot of drama with her family...who were living in Atlanta at the time.

[@TheMelody15]

I know this comment is old but I researched the Fanmail tour. It started off shaky cause of poor marketing and promotion, a lot of people/fans found out late or wasn't aware that TLC was touring. During mid tour it gained traction and had great reviews, by the end it generated about 75 million. TLC would've earned more money if they took the tour overseas but since they wasn't getting along at that time it was canceled.

[@alyours2889]

Hated that question about the accident..."plz tell us about that time you saw your sister die!" That was wrong!

[@Neoldsoul]

Very well spoken. I enjoyed this interview.

[@Itsdestinyram]

Even After The Movie, I Don't Think people Think Lisa is Selfish ... Well I don't , She Seemed Like An amazing Person

[@adrienebennett1433]

I hope all can get resolved let the legacy of TLC remain a good one

[@rogersmith4609]

I don't think Lisa was portrayed badly. I think the family is upset because they weren't involved.

[@Eriq7001]

Its interesting that you actually watched the movie. I had no interest in watching it so I have no clue how Lisa Lopes was portrayed. But its obvious the movie was only made to get Tionne and Roaznda back in the much spotlight and sort of reviatalize their careers. Now those two are starting to tout this spring and a new cd is currently in the works.

[@justmissjamey]

good call!!! I agree, that what it seems like to me as well. Heck, chilli looked worse in it then anyone, and im glad she allowed it to be talked about and showed. I wish they would of had more time so the movie was longer because tboz, and chilli are saying there is so much more that they wanted to say and put in it, but they couldn't because of time constraint

[@rogersmith4609]

This has been the same story they have told from the get go. Can't understand why all of a sudden everyone is mad.

[@justmissjamey]

either to maybe get in the news, or they believe that its their truth and they want to get it out there now?? I wish they would of either made it longer, or maybe made it a few part series. I have watched many interviews with them and they said because of time they couldn't get everything they wanted to get across out there, but mtv, and the companies wouldn't give them time, and that it was hard to put 20 years worth of info to have it make since out there

[@rogersmith4609]

I wish the movie had been longer also.

[@DavidRichardson95]

Regardless of what anyone thinks, this movie was 10x better than the last movie VH1 released, with Flex Alexander as Michael Jackson in "Man in the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story"

[@krissiew9508]

OMG. You are dead on.

[@amberrose103]

Why didn't she answer the question....how were you when this happened....its very important

[@Eriq7001]

Tionne and Rozanda wanted to tour for the "FanMail" Tour but Lisa was against it and wanted the trio to juts do a live pay per view concert in which they would get millions and milions of fans to tune in that way instead. But Lisa compromised ONLY for the fans but she did not agree with the other two.

[@Kirsten110290]

I personally feel no side should be taken and no person should be said they are a liar for telling what they felt was their side of the story. While watching many interviews, T-boz and Chili have never stated that the story they told was untrue. They simply stated they are telling their side of the story and how they felt about the situation. As far as the statement VH1 made, this was for legal reasons. If they express to the public that everything in the movie was true, with them themselves not knowing the entire truth but taking information from one source, they put themselves in a predicament to be sued by anyone portrayed in the movie that feels otherwise. Therefore, they did that to cover their butts from the opportunity of lawsuits against them. As far as Reigndrop Lopes, she is telling what she knows and how she feels about her sister and her family, just as everyone has the right to tell their side of the story. Overall, I feel that no one but the individuals involved know the real story which means none of us know what really happened because we weren't there to witness it ourselves and know the full truth of everything. Therefore we should respect everyones individual opinion because we don't know who is right or wrong.

[@immerbeach5477]

They definitely portrayed left eye in a horrible way in that movie . Every 5 seconds in that movie she was lashing out , cursing people out , fighting and shit . They made her look horrible. Why didnt they show how sweet and caring she was ??

[@Cosyhead]

This makes 100% sense. Good job reign. R.i.p Lisa left eye x

[@China_lav]

Its thre sides to story. The only thing im going by what actually was done and said out her own mouth in her interviews and documentary. Good interview I wish they would of left that movie along because all of this mess would not be started. Lisa was a genuine loving person who love kids. My dad was cool with her back then in atlanta when he met her in the group home in his teen years and they still remain friends and she came by and seen me as a baby

[@slimchocolatecocobrown2]

In Tears This Is Very Overwheling

[@lovemommy8405]

I believe there is a misunderstanding what I got from this interview was that Lisa family should've had input in what should have been public or private and I do agree that Lisa's estate should get fair residuals as well as her estate should've had an attorney discuss with VH1 that they want to approve all things pertaining to Lisa's portrayal trgoughout. It's clear that Reindrop did not know all the details of the "signed release" and should've been informed prior to going public.

[@Eriq7001]

Another thing that uspet Lisa was that she wrote 9 songs for the Fanamil Cd and all NINE were rejected by LA Ried. But Dallas Austin wrote a lot of music and they submitted that. Also Tionne wrote material that was submitted as well as Kandi Buruss. Sometimes artists feel really upset about that because they want the fans to know they can write music and give ideas on what THEY WANT to talk about.

[@DanjaMawf2006]

T-Boz and Chili already confirmed that Lisa's brother was involved in the project and approved things. Reigna spoke out of turn, suggesting they went behind the family's back. In all actuality her brother just didn't tell her and I think that's the real reason she's a lil salty.

[@justmissjamey]

What does everyone think that when her sister is saying that left eye challenged them to all three put out albums so they could get out of their contracts from the record company...do you all think that's really how it went?? I remember reading it years ago when I was younger.....Also, I think left eye was the main creative force behind them. I don't know personally, and I am sure all 3 girls brought things to the table, but my feelings are Lisa was the most creative song, verse, and look wise...jmo

[@vocalz004]

sooooooo yeah, i loved the movie brought back memories RIP Left Eye!! my feelings are on both sides in away.. yes i deeply understand that lisa wasn't here and i love her dearly and i can understand her sister's point of view but mannnnnnnnnnn of course theres still negativity comments like c'mon yall! im happy that her sister finally complimented something about the movie which was she felt that lil mama did a great job.. thank you reign for a compliment on the movie i felt it was a great movie

[@amastara11]

i think its terrible that the lopes family was left out of the creative process. i enjoyed the film, and i love tboz and chilli , but while watching i did notice that they seemed to downplay and even trivialize some of left eyes motives/ feelings etc. its a known fact that left eye was the creative muscle behind the group, and her reasoning for not liking "creep" wasnt just simply bc they didnt use her ideas, it was bc she didnt like the message that the song was sending and didnt think that it empowered her female listeners.

[@mvhoney]

Lil Mama did discuss that scene in an interview and did mention the reasoning behind putting tape on her mouth (didn't like the message it was sending out). Even Lil Mama was aware of the role she was playing I just think they didn't emphasize enough in the movie as to why she did that.

[@KaneshaDi]

Yeah, I remember watching a VH1 Special about Lisa Lopes where she admitted that she did not like the message behind the Creep song.

[@CassieJazz96]

2214diva Yeah she even made a rap against it in the D.A.R.P Remix. She spits tons of knowledge.

[@roter13]

lisa really was the creative engine behind tlc.

[@Summer-md2qp]

oh i thought Natina reed was lisa sisterbut she was her protogae

[@LaurenDevin]

Ps. Chilli and Tboz's moms were the only family members in the movie. Left eye's family was in PA. The movie is about what went on in TLC and not their entire lives, so the only ones to truly know what went on in TLC were TLC. That's it.

[@jerardperry7901]

Lefteye and her SiS and dad and bro and grandfather are our fam!

[@Eriq7001]

Billboard was incorrect in their statements. And they have admitted in the past they have made incorrect statements about music artists in the past.

[@patronsaintoffashion2722]

every clip of this interview I see she just refuses to answer questions or doesn't even know anything about what she's being asked. she wouldn't even answer a question about her and Lisa's age difference. and she says Lisa didn't adopt snow but Lisa herself said she did? so she clearly felt like a huge presence in the child's life

[@mydreamz8809]

With all the drama around this movie I can understand why Aaliyah's family maybe hasnt done a biopic just yet. I hear there may be one but her family has yet to confirm it to be true to my knowledge. Things like this just unwrap old wounds.

[@vdw8420031]

I dont know, Aaliyah didnt have as much drama as tlc so she may be ok unless they bring up her relationship with R kelly. To be honest, I really dont know how a movie about her would be interesting unless people want to know how she was discovered and stuff because it want have no drama or intensity. She lived a pretty cutter clean life unless there is more to her story than meets the eye and her family dont want to expose it because Aaliyah was a private person. Tlc had enough drama they could have a made a mini series. They had the good, the bad and the ugly for a long ass movie like the Jacksons.

[@krissiew9508]

Hollywood prefers biopics with drama. Aaliyah just doesn't have it. Which was good for her. I believe Aaliyah was a confident and well put together young lady minus the R Kelly marriage/relationship. Now, Destiny's Child has the drama for a good biopic. The discord between Beyonce and Kelly Rowland is not often talked about.

[@MsMockingbird06]

vdw8420031 "a mini series," hilarious lol. But a great movie was made about Selena and she had no drama besides when she got married without telling her family. I think it would be nice to have a really positive movie about such a great artist. And they could add in details about her childhood and how she was discovered and stuff. I'm sure that there's more drama than we know although they don't have to add too much to make a great movie.

[@danix4897]

Lisa was so sweet and I love her mom sister and brother I wish she was still here so I can meet her in person

[@reesesbuttercup9346]

The sister is an opportunist and pebbles and laface records as a whole are shady

[@aminatak1985]

Reigndrop issue is that left eye wasnt praised as she wants her to be, real fans of tlc will appreciate the authenticness of it, they showed left eye has a human being who went through certain things, at least that what i got from the movie, i dont think she was selfish, i think she may have went about it the wrong way, even left eye has said she may have went about the issue the wrong way.

[@QuelliDee]

Reigndrop may have just revealed why Lisa was killed. I am sure everyone doubts that her accident was purely that. I do. Maybe I'm in denial. However Lisa wanted the group to break out of the contract and that is why she challenged the three album deal. If that happened then all greedy people would be broke.

[@SherezM0617]

It don't work like that. they received an advance of money and if they broke their contract they would have been sued! Or had to give every last cent back. See a record company is like a big bank that loan you money. Your asking them to sponsor your product a.k.a music. Now back then you could get a contract for 12 million dollars for three albums and that is an awesome contract. But that money they give you have to cover your studio time, managers, your tour's (everything included to set up a show), travel, promotion, Radio contract in order to even get your music on the radio. Back then TLC had a great contract for three album because they could have got a contract for like 7 albums and then they would have been fuck!!! But now record companies can't do that anymore.

[@vdw8420031]

SherezM0617, did tboz and chilli even know that is what she wanted because if they did maybe it wouldnt have upset them as much. I mean reigndrop is making it sound like lisa only wanted them to get of contract instead of being pissed off about direction of the album they were working on and leaving her out of stuff.

[@Eriq7001]

In the interview in 2000 with Jamie (Sister 2 Sister) Lisa did in fact say she did not support the "FanMail" cd 100 percent was it was not representative of her and she was mad that LA Face Records played favorites. Lisa wrote 7 songs for the Fanmail cd but all 7 were rejected and not out on the final track listing; however songs that Tionne wrote ("Dear Lie" being one of them) and material by Dallas Austin made the cut. Apparently she didn't like some of the material being submitted to the group for recording by the other producers. She only appeared rapping on 4 songs.

[@QuelliDee]

SherezM0617 OOOH I see.

[@crystallott5735]

wow your on to something. That makes a lot of sense.

[@MissMichelle103]

AMEN people act ( esp some fans ) like her own family doesn't have a right to be upset or angry when something is about their family member.

[@resentertainment1990]

It's not about family it's about the group....

[@Natural2bmii]

I believe t-boz said it best that it was their truth...Their perception of things. And true enough Lisa may have been all those things her sis said she was, unselfish kind giving, but in moments where you wants something so bad and it isn't coming to you fast enough and your impatience is showing...one could come off as being selfish. I do think the rolevof Left Eye was a bit over the top more times than she wascactually serious...and I've seen moments where Lisa was just chill. But I don't think it was a bad portrayal of her. The point of the movie was to show the big moments that brought them to this point and I think they achieved that successfully. I think people are just mad for nothing. They should exrend an olive branch and give a dew hugs and move on.

[@jojobeanz4801]

so first she said lisa felt like she couldn't create what she wanted in TLC but then turns around and says 2 entire albums and all wardrobe was Lisa's doing..... uum ok 😕

[@victorcarrington391]

I thought the movie was EXCELLENT and I think it was kept clean, but also the character of Lisa I thought wasn't to make her look bad but these are things that had already played out in the media when they happened. The movie showed them all in some areas that may have shocked ppl but it is what it is and let's move on. TLC is still my favorite group of all time

[@rareflower72]

you know the movie was about TLC, the group. Not just Lefteye. Its Tboz, Chilli take, story about the group.

[@Celebbuzzcafe]

Just because she was young doesnt mean anything. The fact that Lisa was around her sister, she could have vented to her when she was older and in honduras at the end of the day blood is thicker than water. I agree on Raina when she said Lisa put tape around her mouth to show she wasnt with the creeping, cheating, etc. I agree because Left Eye said that in a interview about creep. So the movie wasnt all the way true, just bits amd pieces. but it has to sell. R.I.P. Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes : (

[@kissame104]

Wow, it's not like T-Boz and Chilli were trying to portray her in a negative way. They knew Lisa too. Reigna has to understand that the movie was from their p.o.v. It could have very well been possible that the 3 cd set was Lisa's way of getting them out of the contract but did T&C know that? Lisa put tape over her mouth during the filming of Creep but did T&C know the true reasoning behind it? I just can't see them purposely portraying Left-Eye so negatively.

[@DKDAY26ALLDAY01]

I'm a little disturbed about this interview as it was in my recommended videos. I disagree with this radio hosts asking this sister about the group TLC. Listen that was a biopic of the group TLC not Lisa alone. I think as a viewer of the movie Tionne and Chilli basically told their TLC story their part and their contribution to the group. I am certain if Left eye (God rest her soul) was still alive she would have told her inputs. Therefore, that is why Lisa parents may not have been shown. I am certain there were many things left from their story like the influence of Jermaine producing one of their albums etc but as someone else alluded that if they included all of that then the movie would be extremely long. The moral of the story that I received from that biopic is that TLC was a talented female group that was influential and positive singing about risky topics that had a bad record deal and a very unfortunate short lived talent of Left eye and short lived talent of their career.

[@CassieJazz96]

Isn't Raina only 2-3 years younger than Lisa?

[@Momie79]

HOW WAS THE FAMILY NOT NOTIFIED BUT THEY SIGNED PAPERS FOR A RELEASE ??!! COME ON MAKE NO KIND OF SENSE !!! ALL I UNDERSTOOD FROM THIS INTERVIEW WAS MONEY MONEY MONEY ! GIRL BYE OF COURSE PEBBLES IS INVOLVED

[@carolinadavis3520]

hey gumdrop tboz and chilli always give left eye credit for everything, she's too young to even know she wasnt even with them 24/7 how does she even know what was happening

[@Truex1]

100% right! With no respect due..no gives a shit about their families.

[@Drfeelinu]

And Lisa did adopt Snow, she said it herself😑

[@aminatak1985]

she didnt adopt her, snows own mother has said this

[@merveilles100]

So sad to see this. It is true that everyone has their own perception of things that have happened. But Lisa's little sister was not in the studio or around the girls lived their careers. The two others members didn't portrayed her like she was selfish. Lisa was a generous person and they say that so many time.

[@CassieJazz96]

Reigndrop was not too young, she was two years younger than Lisa. She only looked and continues to look young.

[@crystallott5735]

Lashid4u Yes Chilli and Tboz were wrong why didn't they inform the family of anything or have the mom in the movie like T boz and Chilli ? That's sad rein drop said that the fans made a comment that her family has not been in Left eyes life and all along they moved with her out of philly!

[@shaniquaadams22]

OMG I LUV DA VIDEO N I MISS LEFT EYE I LUV HER SO.MUCH N I HOPE HER FAMILY IS DOIN GUD CUZ SHE REALLY WAS AN ANGLE BUT RIP TO MY GIRL LEFT EYE..!3

[@dotthurman4323]

Wait a minute, is that the realtor on HGTV?

[@TheSambradford8]

To the Lopez family nobody's owns yall shit hell yall probably don.t know what left eye did in the music group they can only put so much in the movie so get over it and move on nobody owes yall nothing they can only put so much to ms raina you have to move on and just deal with it chilli and tboz don.t owe you nothing they knew Lisa not you

[@h8rSZHATER]

WHY DOES LIL MAMA SAY THAT REINGDROP WAS ON SET & LIL MAMA MADE HER CRY??

[@PRETTYBOYSWAG15]

To me Reigndrop doesn't know what she's talking about and she's trying to gain publicity just like Pebbles. T-Boz and Chilli would never try to portray Left Eye in a negative light. They told their story and I also don't believe that Chilli and T-Boz would make a movie without getting Left Eye's family thoughts and consent.

[@Dav_v_oochi71]

Wow I thought I heard TLC made $20-$30 Million in album sales Wowzers a whopping $65 Million amazing

[@pinkprincessrichardson9555]

The comments here are just ignorant if the girl feels her sister was portrayed wrong shouldn't she have an opinion put yourself in her shoes and see if you would be saying the same thing you saying now look I don't think lisa was portrayed badly but there was parts I did not agree with and do feel like they was exaggerated a bit I'm sure tboz and chilli loved lefteye and she was indeed there pride and joy and yes it was in pov but the family should have some type of input as well so u go reign

[@jerardperry7901]

I am not the only one related too her!

[@kjag23]

I kind of feel that the movie should of never been made. It seems like all it has done is cause problems.

[@sagehiphop]

That movie was to focus on tlc the group not every little thing could be added we all know the true fans what Lisa contributed and tlc always said Lisa came up the every album title have seen a lot of interviews over the years she did seem selfish to the girls cause she wasn't communicating with them

[@mcabaniukyt]

Lisa has passed on. She couldnt represent herself like T and C could! She had a lot more input and a lot went down with TLC than what just went down in the movie, Her family are just disappointed in the portrayal. No one said it was about her family.

[@MSUCutiePie]

She claims that TLC didn't contact her family BUT SHE was on set..........I'm confused.....I'll wait.

[@LivMYlif3]

She said that her friend was an extra and that's how she got on set

[@MSUCutiePie]

Ooooh okay, makes sense! Thanks for that.

[@denisetugman5414]

T-Boz said that Left Eye's brother is the executor if her estate and they went through him and he said yes to using her likeness, because of the documentary she was filming at the time of her death, they couldn't use that footage for reenactment without permission.

[@amastara11]

it was also pretty tacky of the host to ask about the accident

[@MzJanuary]

I feel that Reigndrop is contradicting herself quite a bit. She said that Tionne and Rozanda were not in touch with them at all, but yet they HAD to get in touch with them in order for them to habe permission to use her likeness in the movie. If they felt upset about not being involved, they could have refused, period. And no offense to Reigndrop, but no one would even know who she was if it had NOT been for Lisa... First lady of hip rock? Yeah ok

[@DIZZYMANE]

Its only so much u can put in a 2hr movie..an seeing scenes of lisa moving her family from philly to ATL wudve been pointless..now had they done a mini series like the Jacksons I cud understand

[@alyssagivargidze4377]

i. can not. understand why. t boz end. chilli. did not cast. rain drop. lopez. in the. movie crazy sexy cool

[@zoprice4096]

Well, she was in the spot light a lot about burning and doing things crazy.

[@jerardperry7901]

I am back our cousin Reindrop Lopez up know matter what! That's our cousin

[@TheQueenbritz]

Her sister is very young and I don't get why she thinks she knows everything about the group

[@J.Evans_Official]

They did make left eye look like the bad guy and them look like angels which is not true. If lisa was alive that movie would have been different because only lisa can speak for herself tboz and chilli are not. I've been listening to them from the start and those 2 didnt keep it real about lisa

[@Eriq7001]

The Atlanta show sold out BECAUSE it was there hometown and one of the last shows they did on the second show. And the Pay Per View sold out cause it was also one of the last show's and it was booked at Madison Square Gardens. Thats venue thats sells out ever concert shows on a regular basis cause its namesake.

[@Ladiibugg1988]

It still doesn't take away from the fact that the tour grossed $72.8 million.

[@Eriq7001]

***** I don't know where u got those "facts" from but they are incorrect. In 2000 Lisa Lopes did an exclusive interview with Jamie Foster and mentioned the issues with the Tour. She mentioned the tour was not selling out at all and that they were playing to average crowds of 3000. So I don't know where u got 72.8 Million from. Tour dates were scapped due to very low ticket sales in a lot of markets. Im done with this issue.

[@Ladiibugg1988]

I got MY FACTS from Billboard. Your problem isn't with me, it's with Billboard. Have a NICE day.

[@Eriq7001]

***** Exactly my point....never believe news stories out of Billboard......cause that 72 Million is a LIE. The ONLY WAY aN ARTIST CAN make 72 million in touring is there have to be sell out on each and every show and they have to have least had 60 shows. The "Fanmail Tour 'was basically about 25 and half were canceleld due to low ticket sales.

[@Ladiibugg1988]

You're still wrong about how much the tour grossed, but whatever. Destiny Fulfilled... and Lovin' It Tour did $70.8 million, but they didn't sell out each and every show. But I'm done with this discussion. Again, have a NICE DAY!

[@fucu41]

How did they get you to sign off on her likeness......? No You give permission to use the like however they pleased, and you would be getting paid for that. Dont act like ya didnt have a choice, cause if you didnt want left eye subjected to how she was portrayed then you would have signed the contract, but you saw how much the movie was gonna make.Now you embarrased to say that ya getting paid??? STOP IT
