Kiely Williams’ Sister Sounds Off On Reboot
Following the reboot news, an X user tweeted that Kiely Williams was an “underrated superstar” of both 3LW and ‘The Cheetah Girls,’ adding that the behind-the-scenes arguments during those years “must have been awful” for her not to return. Kiely’s sister then responded to the post, writing, “Raven and Adrienne are truly hateful b*****s. They are also 2 faced and liars. Sabrina will always be a ‘pick me.’ Kiely was the easy person to villainize since the 3LW so here we are. I believe in karma. They will get what is due they will have earned it.”
The remarks quickly began making the rounds online, with fans revisiting the group’s history and reacting to the unexpected comments. At the time of publication, neither Raven-Symoné, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, nor Sabrina Bryan had publicly responded to the claims.
The Comment Section Clocked In For Overtime
Fans ran straight to The Shade Room’s Instagram comment section and absolutely tore it UP after the news dropped. Some argued that Kiely deserved a spot in the reboot, while others came armed with jokes for dayyysss, babyyyy, turning the comments into pure entertainment. A few even joked that she got left off ‘Bad and Boujee,’ and honestly, those comments had people cracking up.
One Instagram user @b.arbielai claimed, “girl from what we’ve been hearing your sister was the issue in BOTH groups! 🥴”
This Instagram user @tnhayes22 said, “They made no ‘promethis’ that she’d be in the reboot.”
And, Instagram user @mresq shared, “Sounds like Kiely and her sister are reaping what they sowed based on how they treated Naturi…but I digress.”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @chellereneej commented, “maybe because your sister said she slept with 3/4 of B2K out loud. IDK”
While Instagram user @_pettyking wrote, “Kiely should’ve been apart of the Cheetah Girls reboot. Point, Blank, Period.”
Finally, Instagram user @unfriendlybaddiie said, “Not she mad because Kiely was left off bad and boujee 😂”
So, What Sparked All Of This?
The Shade Room had fans in a frenzy after sharing the first official tease for ‘The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen.’ Raven-Symoné confirmed the long-awaited sequel with an Instagram video of herself strutting to ‘Strut’ from ‘The Cheetah Girls 2,’ captioning the post, “🐆 It’s happening, and it’s CHEETAHLISHIOUS!” The clip also featured on-screen text reading, “POV: strutting to the set of The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen,” instantly sending fans into detective mode over the cast.
While Adrienne Bailon, Sabrina Bryan, Lynn Whitfield, and Lori Alter are all set to return, Kiely Williams is notably absent from the announced lineup—a detail that quickly became the biggest topic in the comment section. The upcoming film follows Galleria and Chanel as they travel to Africa with Galleria’s daughter and three of her friends, where the group volunteers at a wildlife sanctuary and discovers the true Cheetah spirit along the way.
