Rozonda Thomas, best known as Chilli<\/a> of the iconic \u201990s girl group TLC<\/a>, is distancing herself from Donald Trump<\/a> and the MAGA<\/a> movement after she reportedly donated to the president\u2019s political action committees back in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Chilli gave nearly $800 to Trump\u2019s PACs amid his reelection campaign, MeidasTouch<\/a> Network first reported<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She also reportedly gave $63 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and $7 to Sen. Ted Cruz<\/a> (R-Texas) that same year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n celebrity.land found FEC donations linked to the singer\u2019s name<\/a> and a Georgia address tied to her that match MeidasTouch Network\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The report arrives weeks after Chilli faced backlash on popular internet<\/a> forums<\/a> for allegedly resharing an Instagram post promoting a wild conspiracy theory claiming that former first lady Michelle Obama<\/a> is transgender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Chilli follows<\/a> a<\/a> number of MAGA figures on social media, including Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), Tomi Lahren and Donald Trump Jr., the latter of whom entertained<\/a> the Obama theory during his father\u2019s 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The singer, in a social media post<\/a> on Saturday, claimed she\u2019s \u201cnot MAGA\u201d and doesn\u2019t support \u201cany of the policies that are causing great harm to the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI 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,\u201d wrote Chilli in an apparent reference to the donations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cTwo 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In a video message attached to the post, she stressed her \u201cutmost respect and admiration\u201d for Michelle Obama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI would never say or do anything that is disrespectful to her or to any woman,\u201d said Chilli of the former first lady, adding that she accidentally reshared the Obama post on her Instagram page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She went on to claim she gave to both of Barack Obama<\/a>\u2019s campaigns and voted for him twice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Charles Sykes\/Invision\/Associated Press<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Back in 2017, Chilli faced backlash on social media for remarking that \u201call lives matter<\/a>,\u201d a phrase cooked up in response to the Black Lives Matter movement against police brutality and racial injustice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"TLC's](\"https:\/\/img.huffingtonpost.com\/asset\/69c95a2924000031a830a06c.jpeg?ops=scalefit_720_noupscale&format=webp)
