TLC v. Pebbles

With the VH1 produced TLC Biopic debuting tonight, fans, old and new, plan on tuning in to either get further insight into the story of the bestselling girl’s group of all time, or to just become familiar with everything they have endured from successes to failures. It is no secret that TLC (T Boz, Left Eye and Chilli) had a tumultuous relationship with their former manager, Perri “Pebbles” Reid. Claims of greed, manipulation, conflicts of interest and ultimate bankruptcy have circled over the group and their former manager for years.

Must Read: Who Is Pebbles?

The specific claims made by the group against Pebbles were that, at a young age, they signed an extremely one-sided contract with Pebbles. According to interviews, past and present, the three ladies signed a management agreement with Peebles, which gave her ownership in the name TLC, along with an alleged grossly unfair percentage in their earnings.

Unfortunately, most contracts don't favor new artists. New artist development takes a lot of time, money, and contacts, which most times come directly from the manager. A manager can provide services for months and years at a time without receiving a return on their investment and/or any form or compensation, as it takes time to build a new artist. Many people may not be aware, but most managers spend thousands of dollars building and supporting a new artist before the artist makes one red cent.

"There's nothing easy about it (GLP-1) or cheating about it. There is a great opportunity to change the health profile for millions of people, " says Oprah Winfrey on CBS's Sunday Mornings.

Over the years, many people have believed that Oprah Winfrey should be able to solve her weight management issues because of her wealth. With the resources to hire chefs, personal trainers, and access to gym equipment, one would think it would be easier for her. Yet she continues to struggle, much like many other famous faces, including Luther Vandross, with weight challenges.

The conversation around GLP-1s has helped shift perceptions, showing that addressing obesity requires more than just willpower. Amen!!!

This CBS Sunday Morning interview with Oprah discussing her weight issues, and the shame and relief of finding a solution, is insightful:

Oprah Winfrey is one of the best-known, most-admired and successful people on the planet. But for years she seemed powerless to conquer her fluctuating weigh...

Rest In Peace, Carl Carlton. Prayers to his family 🙏🏾💙🕊 He was best known for his 1974 hit . Carl Carlton died from complications from a stroke he suffered years ago. He was 72 years old.

"Act FAST" when you or someone you love is experiencing a stroke: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, and Time to call 911 immediately because every minute counts for brain health. Look for one-sided facial droop, inability to lift one arm, slurred speech, or confusion; if any are present, call for emergency help right away for prompt treatment. Don't lie down and don't wait to see if it will pass.

tPA (Tissue Plasminogen Activator, or Alteplase) is a powerful "clot-busting" medication and the gold standard for treating acute ischemic strokes. It should be administered within 3 to 4.5 hours of symptom onset to restore blood flow and minimize brain damage.
