Chilli Says Repost Was Accidental & Sets The Record Straight

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.

Chilli Reaffirms Respect For The Obama’s

Chilli also made it a point to remind everyone of her long-standing support for Barack and Michelle Obama. The post in question claimed that former First Lady Michelle Obama had registered to vote as a man in 1994a claim that has been debunked multiple times. Chilli made it clear she would never share anything like that and took the opportunity to remind everyone of her long-standing support for both Barack and Michelle Obama.

Furthermore, the TLC singer apologized for accidentally reposting the viral video after fans noticed it briefly appeared on her page. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Michelle Obama I would never say or do anything that is disrespectful to her or any woman.”

The Internet Won’t Let This Slide

Fans did not hold back, flooding TSRs Instagram comment section with hot takes.
