She gets to choose her own color (it's not exactly caramel).

Chocolate is obviously synonymous for black, girl bye! No one was trying to perfect the complexion, she was quite unnerved by that description , speaks volumes.

Chili has shown us how crazy she is. I'll never forget how Prince did her uppity azz. She just knew she was going away with him and he literally got h*** from her in the limo, circled the block and dropped her off back home. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Sad to be in your 50's and so delusional. There was no reason for her to say anything because the original comment was referring to black women in general not a specific skin tone. She had to mention that she's caramel to separate herself from the darkies. People have eyes and you are not caramel.

@ 8:57 Wasn't that epic! Talking about upscale in the post and got played like a 50cent hoe.

Eh...to Wesley Snipes she's considered caramel but to Drake she's considered chocolate. It's all relative. Clearly the distinction is important to her so let her live. She's over 50. She's not going to change her perspective.

Ain't sh*t relative, the bih is chocolate by any standard. Sell it somewhere else.

Lord have mercy she isn't caramel maybe not chocolate but absolutely not caramel smh But should we be surprised? She made being a black girl with type 2/3 hair her whole personality smh

Lemme interrupt chili's fav flavor report:
the IG account @anecdotalatl is blocking Black ppl who ask why he's ignoring Black History Month. If you feel frosty, head on over there and ask him why he thinks he can speak on Atlanta History and ignore Black History

Some black people be like Piranhas just waiting to jump on other black people to knock them down.
She didn't say she wasn't black, she was giving the description of her skin color as she see's it.
The hate in some black people is real!!!!

Chili is such a clown. That’s all.. probably why even Mayweather couldn’t stomach her

She showed herself to be at the very least very dumb and at worst a sell out. Chocolate comes in many different shades including caramel.

@ 10:26 A lot of black people are smart enough to read between the lines, she can be whatever she calls herself, however the tone of her post indicated a real annoyance at being called chocolate, and that's where the problem lies.

Black is black no matter the complexion!

Omg, you guys are so sensitive and just not on her vibe. My family has milk chocolate and dark chocolate and I am labeled caramel and i did not choose that label, but it was assigned to me. I’m in a group of mocha ladies. We’ve had butterscotch and cappuccinos too. And guess what, we all blk in different shades we all love and represent. This episode has nothing to do with colorism! Jeesh!

Chili, girl, you’re a black woman. Deal with it!

Sigh.... Are we this bored?

Not matter the complexion, skin tone, or whatever flavor of coffee you think you are… you still a N***a!

Well, she must have a permanent tan 'cause she sure is chocolate. T-boz and Left Eye were more pecan tan and caramel.

Exactly, I totally agree. Left Eye and TBoz are caramel but Chilli is clearly chocolate. She is extremely delusional.

This is all that it takes for blacks to get their panties in a bunch. Its rather sad. She is correct, in the winter, some of us do get lighter. And, darken up in the summer. She didn't want to be objectified in that way and corrected the poster. Its not that deep!

She's color struck and obviously takes offense to her SKIN TONE being referred to as chocolate. And all the people up top trying to gaslight the rest of us into thinking we lack discernment and interpretation can go suck a rotten duck egg.

^ If it wasn't that deep she wouldn't have been so quick to make the correction. Since when is being labeled chocolate offensive or require correction?

She identify as caramel the same way a MTF trans identify as a woman. We the people are not blind but hey, this is the world we are living in.

She is hard to take and kinda unlikeable. Over the years I like her less and less. I like her even less now.. with her broke az WB while she thinking she has a prize. Ugh! Ion't like her.
