Hot 90′s R&B group TLC’s long awaited biopic that aired
on VH1 last week may have been drew 4.5 million viewers, but one viewer that
was unhappy about the movie was Reigndrop Lopes — Lisa “LeftEye” Lopes’ younger
sister.
As the unofficial spokesperson for the Lopes family,
Reigndrop has been vocal about her family’s exclusion from the making of the ‘CrazySexyCool: The
TLC Story.’
“It would have been nice if Lisa’s family would have been
invited to take part in this journey of making the TLC movie. Honestly, I
think it would have added depth to Lisa’s on screen character.”
“We live in Atlanta, the movie [was] being shot in Atlanta,
everyone we know is in the movie except for us. Lisa’s family was the only
people not involved in the movie and not invited to the set.”
She also adds that the depiction of Left Eye was inaccurate
in specific scenes.
“It’s a movie. It’s never gonna be 100 percent accurate and
I know this, my family knows this…It’s about a person’s character,” she said.
“[When] they were doing the Creep video…they have Lisa putting black tape
over her mouth because she can’t get her way. Now, she did put black tape over
her mouth but it wasn’t because she couldn’t get her way. It was because she
didn’t believe in the message behind the Creep video. She didn’t believe in
telling people to cheat on their mates.”
Though Reigndrop had some negative thoughts of the
film, she made sure she expressed her positive thoughts about Lil’
Mama’s portrayal of her sister, which brought her to tears.
Reigndrop is an artist and self proclaimed “1st Lady of
Hip Rock”. She is featured on Left Eye’s Album ‘Eye Legacy’. Featured songs
include: “Neva Will Eye Eva” and “Crank It.”
