Ashley Reid’s statement:
“Being tactlessly defensive is a choice, and may not be the most effective. It was my choice. Violence is not what I represent. For those that know me, either personally or through my weekly radio talk show, or my art — they know that I’m a passionate person with no filter, that what I said, was in anger.
In anger, many things are said out of intense emotion. The same applies to a desperate attempt to threaten credibility, defame and villainies someone’s character in order to generate publicity. That was TLC’s choice. My voice is my own and is not reflective of my mother’s opinion. Despite the lies and slander depicted in the movie and over the past 20 years, my mother loves TLC and always has.
Under no circumstances will I ever apologize for defending the people I love and what I know is right.
