Roommates, yall know how one post can set the internet on fireand this time, TLCs Rozonda Chilli Thomas found herself smack dab in the middle. What started as a little online chatter quickly snowballed into full-blown accusations. And now, shes stepping up to set the record straight in her own words.
This weekend, Chilli addressed the controversy head-on after facing backlash over alleged support for Donald Trump. In an Instagram post and video with a purple background and white text, she wrote:
“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. 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. Two things I care deeply about, as my dad is a veteran and everyone knows I love children. I have learned a valuable lesson and ask for grace as I navigate this. Love, Chilli”
According to Federal Election Commission records, in 2024, Chilli donated $210.60 via WinRed, a Republican campaign payment processor, and also gave $340.60 and $486.54 to the Trump National Committee JFC and Never Surrender Inc., respectively. She also clarified that any donations tied to Trumps campaign were made under the belief she was supporting causes like veterans assistance and anti-human traffickingnot politics. Chilli added, These are the things that support the veterans. Ive always supported them, not just now, for years. This is not something new.
