When the TLC biopic “CrazySexyCool” aired a few nights ago on VH1, old school fans were surprised to see that before Chilli joined the group, there was an original member named Crystal who didn’t make the cut. In the movie, Crystal got the boot after the girls auditioned for LA Reid and Pebbles, and they made it seem as though she couldn’t sing if her life depended on it. Of course Crystal was beyond disappointed with the way she was portrayed, and she stopped by Atlanta radio station, V-103 with Ryan Cameron to tell her side of the story. Sitting next to her former manager Ian Burke, who helped her form the original TLC group, Crystal said she got cut from the trio by Pebbles because she refused to sign those bogus contracts without her mother looking at them first. Ian also chimed in to say that even though he enjoyed the movie for entertainment purposes, they got real creative with some elements of the story. For one, he said Jermaine Dupri played a huge role in the girls developing their sound and that the ladies only met through himself and Rico Wade. He also said when Lisa first auditioned, he told her “No.”
