Chilli Starts Online Petition After Website Attacks Her Son (@officialchilli)

TLC’s Chilli is known for her music endeavours over the years, but she’s also let it be known that she’s a very protective mother to her only son, Tron. Gossip website MediaTakeout.com recently ran a story that made insinuations about Tron’s sexuality, which enraged Chilli.

She subsequently created an online petition to get the site to take the story down, and stop posting negative things about celebrity children and other minors. The petition reads: 

“Most of you know me as a member of the group TLC, but everyone who knows me personally knows being a MOM is my number one priority. The health and safety of my son means more to me that any accomplishment or achievement I’ve received being an entertainer. Recently my son was targeted negatively by popular gossip site MediaTakeOut.com. I can’t describe the anger I felt at my son being ridiculed continuously by MediaTakeOut.com for no other reason than the fact that he’s my son. MediaTakeOut.com has posted numerous false stories about me, and other celebrity friends of mine and while I don’t like it, I realize that is a part of what comes with celebrity. However when my 16-year-old son is being attacked, that is when I take off the celebrity hat and become the protective Mother that I am, and I know many of you are.” 

The site has since taken the story down and Fred Mwangaguhunga, owner of MTO, has apologized for running the article.
