Keke Palmer was announced this week as the actress chosen to play TLC member Chilli in the upcoming biopic about the group that's set to begin filming next month in Atlanta. Some fans ripped the young actress for not looking enough like Chilli for the role, and she defended herself and her casting on Twitter.

“People kill me, I don’t remember Angela Bassett looking ANYTHING like Tina Turner. And she RIPPED that role, ✌ People need to realize that movies aren’t casted by people looking like who they’re playing. They’re casted by who can do the role," she tweeted. "I don’t know about you, but I would much rather see a movie that is well acted, then a movie with a bunch of look a like’s. Cause Ben Affleck isn’t even Hispanic, but the man he played in Argo IS."

"I shouldn’t play the part because my baby hair isn’t the perfect texture? Goodnight Twitter, goodnight," she added. "Okay, I just got snappy lol now I really need to get off this negativity warp. I spoke my mind! God is good!"
