KeKe Palmer Responds To Critics Of Her Playing Chilli In The New TLC Biopic

Just a few days ago the cast of VH1′s TLC biopic was revealed with Lil Mama as Left Eye, Drew Sidora as T-Boz

and KeKe Palmer as Chilli. Since then, many folks in the peanut gallery have let their voices be heard by

criticizing the producers choices. While the other ladies seem to have fallen silent, KeKe took to her

Twitter to bite back at those who had something negative to say about her upcoming role.

It seemed as though most of the complaints came from people who felt as though Keke didn’t look like Chilli,

so KeKe began naming off actors that have portrayed people that they had little to no similarities to in real

life but ended up winning awards for their roles.

“People kill me, I don’t remember Angela Bassett looking ANYTHING like Tina Turner. And she RIPPED that role,

✌ People need to realize that movies aren’t casted by people looking like who they’re playing. They’re casted

by who can do the role.

I don’t know about you, but I would much rather see a movie that is well acted, then a movie with a bunch of

look a like’s. Cause Ben Affleck isn’t even Hispanic, but the man he played in Argo IS.

I shouldn’t play the part because my baby hair isn’t the perfect texture? Goodnight Twitter, goodnight.

Okay, I just got snappy lol now I really need to get off this negativity warp. I spoke my mind! God is good!"
