TLC singer Chilli accused of being mean because of her response to a follower who said they look alike

Chilli has been accused of being mean because of the response she gave to a fan who said she's always told they look alike.

@BlessedupZ tweeted at Chilli - who rose to fame in the early 1990s as a member of group TLC - to let her know what people say about their looks being similar.

She wrote: "I get I look like chilli a lot what y'all think? @officialchilli."

And Chilli, whose real name is Rozonda Thomas replied: " Long straight/wavy hair n similar skin tone doesn't mean u look like someone. Ur a doll but we don't look alike."

Chilli's response had Twitter users accusing her of being mean. Some said she could have chosen not to respond. But others came to her defence and said she did nothing wrong.
