When Chloe Bailey discovered she had inadvertently consumed meat for the first time in ten years, she was distraught.
Bailey, an American actress and singer, rose to prominence as part of the combo Chloe x Halle, alongside her sister Halle Bailey.
The twins have collaborated on two studio albums, the most well-known of which, “Ungodly Hour,” has garnered critical praise.
Bailey and her sister have been vocal about their eating preferences throughout the years.
The two have been transparent about their decision to follow a vegan diet, which excludes any animal products from their diet.
However, Bailey was shocked to learn that she had once violated her lifestyle choice after a hotel misplaced her order.
Following the singer’s disclosure about the event, fans flocked to the comments section, with one person writing: “More than seven years here.” I am fully aware of this. I’ve experienced it as well. I have a lot of doubts regarding the source of my meals.
“I’m vegan, and the thought of it made me sick,” another person said.
A third person expressed empathy by saying, “I’d be p***ed if I put ten years into something and someone’s mistake jeopardizes that.”
Another person said, “That is not cool, I haven’t eaten pork in 20 years and recently stopped eating meat. I would have instantly been sick.”
According to The Independent, Chloe said during an Instagram broadcast that she broke her meat avoidance when she saw Beyoncé perform in Atlanta, Georgia.
“Well, I called to get a Beyond burger for sis and me like usual,” she started. stated that it is vegan and that there is no butter or anything like on the bun.
The plant-based meat substitutes sold under the Beyond Meat brand are made to resemble, taste, and cook like meat.
The “Have Mercy” singer claimed that when the burger came, she was in the shower and that her younger sister asked her about it right away when she got back to the bedroom.
“Are you sure this is Beyond?’ she asks as she bites into the burger. After taking a few bites, she exclaimed, “This is really good—are you sure it’s Beyond?” said Chloe.
“I smelled and touched the patty, and I immediately knew it was Beyond.”
However, the pop star quickly realized she was mistaken.
“I take a bite and the juice dripping from the burger is not like a Beyond burger,” Chloe said after finishing her outfit. I simply knew it wasn’t a phony burger.I knew after taking only one taste. I said, “This doesn’t feel right,” right away.
The singer tried to get some answers right away by calling the hotel’s front desk.
“These are vegan burgers, am I right?,” I exclaimed. “No, those are brand burgers,” he remarked. Say what? Brand burgers? Beyond hamburgers, I said. Chloe recalled, “I have no idea what a brand burger is.
The singer was understandably disappointed to find that she had inadvertently violated her vegan diet.
“Halle’s laughing at me because I’m crying,” hloe shared with her fans. This is just before yesterday’s concert. Halle is laughing so hard at me because I’m weeping and I’m freaking out.
Chloe said on TikTok that, months after the burger incident and eleven years after she started eating vegan, she had begun to consume chicken.
She sighed deeply before speaking, saying, “My confession is that I have recently started consuming chicken.”
And after 11 years, I can honestly say that I’m dead serious. I’m not making this up. I’ve been vegan for eleven years, but I now eat chicken.
The vocalist of “Do It” made it clear that she doesn’t eat any other dairy products.
“It’s like, I am still allergic to egg whites and I don’t consume dairy and honestly it’s been really good,” Chloe said to her admirers.I haven’t been eating anything else, but I’ve been experimenting with chicken.
She went on, “And you know, my stomach hurt a little bit when I first ate it. After that, I had no problems.I just cannot eat fried chicken that has been dipped in egg wash due to an egg allergy. I have seen, though, that my physique has been becoming more toned. And I feel like it’s just been toning me—I haven’t even been working out like crazy like I typically do.
Chloe joked that she would be discovered “sooner or later” and said, “So I mean, I knew.”
