Chloe Bailey, known for her powerful vocals and commitment to a plant-based lifestyle, recently encountered an unexpected, stomach-turning dilemma.
The singer, who alongside her sister Halle Bailey forms the celebrated duo Chloe x Halle, has embraced a vegan lifestyle for over a decade.
Both sisters, inspired by their mother’s dietary journey, adopted veganism in their early years, abstaining from all animal products and advocating for a plant-based lifestyle.
For the Baileys, this choice has been more than just a diet; it’s a lifestyle both have been vocal about throughout their careers.
Chloe’s commitment to veganism took root when her mother suggested a vegetarian challenge, which became a permanent choice for the entire family.
Their dedication has even earned Halle recognition from PETA, who crowned her one of the “most beautiful vegan celebrities” of 2023.
However, during a recent trip to Atlanta, where Chloe attended a Beyoncé concert, her dietary routine took an unexpected turn.
In an Instagram livestream, Chloe revealed a mishap that left her visibly upset: a hotel accidentally served her real meat.
According to Chloe, she had ordered a vegan Beyond burger, clearly specifying that it should contain no butter or any animal products.
When the food arrived, her sister Halle, intrigued by the taste, questioned if it was indeed the Beyond burger they had ordered.
Reassuring Halle, Chloe assumed the patty was vegan, even touching and smelling it, convinced that it was exactly as she requested.
However, once she took a bite, she immediately sensed something was wrong.
“The juice dripping from the burger is not like a Beyond burger. I just knew it was not a fake burger,” Chloe shared, recounting her horror.
In a panic, she called the hotel’s front desk to confirm the order, only to have her worst fear confirmed.
The hotel staff clarified that the burger was a “brand burger,” not the Beyond patty she had expected, leaving her devastated.
At this revelation, Chloe began “freaking out” and “crying,” while Halle couldn’t help but laugh at her reaction, despite Chloe’s distress.
Fans took to social media to show their support, with some sharing similar mishaps and empathizing with her situation.
One fan commented, “If I put 10 years into something and someone’s mistake jeopardizes that, I’d be pissed.”
Another added, “I’m vegan and the thought of it made me sick.”
The unexpected experience stirred up strong reactions, with Chloe’s fans offering a mix of empathy and humor in response to the ordeal.
Yet the incident, which initially left her in tears, marked a turning point for the star’s diet choices.
Months after the mix-up, Chloe took to TikTok to reveal a surprising shift: she has started eating chicken.
“After 11 years – I’m dead a** serious,” she admitted, confessing that she has now added chicken to her diet.
She clarified that while she avoids eggs and dairy due to allergies, she’s noticed her body feels “more toned” since adding chicken.
Lightheartedly, Chloe concluded, “I knew sooner or later maybe there’d be a picture of me with a chicken wing in my mouth.”
What began as a tearful mishap has now opened a new chapter in Chloe’s dietary journey, showing fans her resilience and humor along the way.
