TLC's Chilli Says She's 'Not MAGA' Following Reported Trump Donations, Wild Obama Repost

Key Points:

• Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas of TLC revealed she donated nearly $800 to Donald Trump’s PACs during his 2024 reelection campaign, along with smaller contributions to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and Sen. Ted Cruz.
• Chilli faced backlash after allegedly resharing an Instagram post promoting a conspiracy theory about Michelle Obama, which she later said was accidental and expressed deep respect for the former first lady.
• She stated she is “not MAGA” and does not support policies harming Americans, explaining her donations were intended to support causes like anti-human trafficking and veterans, inspired by her father’s veteran status.
• Chilli highlighted her past support for Barack Obama, having donated to his campaigns and voted for him twice, distancing herself from the MAGA movement despite following some MAGA figures on social media.
• Previously, she faced criticism for saying “all lives matter” but clarified her intent was to be inclusive and not to undermine the Black Lives Matter movement or issues of police brutality.
