PETA added another influential face to it celebrity campaign by shooting with TLC’s Rozada “Chilli” Thomas.

The TLC singer stars in the animal rights organization’s new anti-circus campaign where the strips down to nothing but striped tiger paint to make a statement.

“The ad photo features Chilli crouched in a cage with rusty bars. The headline of the ad reads, “Beaten, lonely and abused: Boycott the circus.”

In a video on PETA’s website, the 42-year-old singer explains her motivation behind getting involved with the campaign.

“There’s so much cruelty behind the scenes, which is a something that a lot of people don’t get to see,” Chilli says in the video. “They’re being mean to them to make them do this trick…And I think that everybody needs to be aware of what’s really going on.”

“If you can raise awareness to something that’s important, such as this, then you should,” she explains. “Because I know for a fact that I would never want to be in a cage.”

Chilli joins a list of celebs that have joined PETA to publicly denounce circuses that use animals including Jada Pinkett Smith, Olivia Munn, Sarah Silverman and Alec Baldwin.

    Someone had the nerve to put a letter in the London Free Press regarding upholding ban on seal products. Every time I read about peta it’s all about women’s feminism. The seal industry is a business and is needed for the pelts, the meat what is now available in restaurants, it’s a culling system to maintain the fish population. Peta and greenpeace are the worst people that should have ever been born. They do interfere with many businesses whereby many people are losing their job. The best thing what we have to do is to ship them to Iraq because in Iraq they behead people they don’t like.
