'Left Eye'leaves her legacy
The Associated Press
NEWYORK—Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes was known as the "crazy one" of the multi-platinum R&B trio TLC. Her animated antics onstage, and her sometimes troublesome personal life, made her perhaps the best-known member of the Grammy-winning group.
But close friends and associates say up while the singer played up her volatile reputation, offstage, she spent the last few years seeking the tranquility that had eluded her for much of her life.
"Everybody has an image of Lisa. She was the crazy one, the free spirit," said Bill Diggins, TLC's manager. "What she also was this compassionate, soulful woman who loved working in Honduras with underprivileged kids."
Lopes, who was to turn 31 next month, died Thursday night when she apparently lost control of the sports utility vehicle she was driving in the central American country. There were seven other people in the car, but she was the only fatality.
Lopes was arguably the most
vibrant member of TLC, the Atlanta-based trio that debuted in 1992 and went on to become the best-selling female group of all time. Her bold rhymes, which touched on everything from sex to self-empowerment, along with her brash attitude, led to her image as the wild child of the group. It sharply contrasted with Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins' steely demeanor and Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas's glamorous image.
Sometimes, it seemed as if her stage persona and her real-life personality were the same. At times, she criticized her fellow group members and seemed to display erratic behavior.
She was at her most infamous in 1994 when she was arrested for setting fire to the home of her former fiance, ex-NFL player Andre Rison. She was sentenced to a halfway house and five years probation, plus a $10,000 fine, and was ordered to undergo alcohol and drug rehabilitation, as well as domestic violence counseling.
Jay Marose, a publicist for Lopes, said the experience helped her realize how valuable her life was.
"She was thankful she got that close to the edge because it allowed her to look back at herself and really grow," he said.
Lopes devoted much of her time to charities; in Honduras, she helped promote literacy among the children there. Diggins said.
Two years ago, she adopted a young girl with special needs. The girl is now 9 years old, said Rob Goldstone, a spokesman for TLC.
"Lisa was amazing to her," said Goldstone. The girl was not with Lopes when she died, he added.
Marose said everything was coming together for Lopes, and she finally had the peace she had sought for so many years.
"She was fulfilled," he said.
Diggins said her family hoped that she would be remembered for her artistic endeavors instead of the sensationalist parts of her life.
"It's interesting, because Lisa, as tiny as she was, she had a bigger-than-life personality. Unfortunately, the bigger-than-life incidents are the ones that stuck with the press," he said.
