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.”
After My Sister’s Wedding Was Canceled, She Demanded the $10K Gift I Promised – I Had to Set Her Straight
When Davina promised her sister Clara $10,000 for her wedding, she never expected betrayal to cancel the big day. But when Clara demands the money anyway, despite her role in the wedding debacle, it’s time for Davina to set her straight. A lesson in loyalty, consequences, and unexpected twists you don’t see coming…
Being the older sister comes with its fair share of responsibilities, and apparently, some unexpected chaos. I’ve always been the calm one in the family, the fixer. But when my younger sister Clara pulled her latest stunt, I knew I couldn’t just sweep up the mess for her this time.

Clara was supposed to get married last fall to her fiancé, Jack. They’d been together for five years, and he was the kind of guy you hope your sister ends up with: funny, dependable, and endlessly patient.
“I’ve always thought that you and Jack could make a good couple,” I confessed to Clara when we were getting our nails done.
It was the morning after their first date, and I wanted to know everything, even if I was a tiny bit jealous. But still, I hoped that Jack would ground Clara and her antics.

“Really?” she asked, raising her eyebrow. “Usually, you don’t like me anywhere near your friends.”
“Yes,” I agreed. “But Jack is different. He’ll be good for you.”
Five years later, our friendship had taken a turn, and I’d grown to love Jack like he was family.
Knowing that they were saving for a house, I’d planned to give them $10,000 as a wedding gift. It was a big gesture, but I wanted to help them build their future together.

“That’s a lot of money,” my friend Camille said one evening when we were having a girls’ dinner at my apartment. “Are you sure that’s the best idea?”
“I do,” I replied, shredding chicken to add to our noodles. “Jack is insanely talented, but he’s had really bad luck on the work front lately. And anyway, you know Clara. She’s spoiled. Super spoiled. At least this way, maybe their house will be taken care of.”
“Clara is lucky that she’s got you for a sister. What with your fancy job and editorial role at the magazine and all that.”

I laughed.
“I’ve been trying to teach her how to grow up, but you know my sister.”
So, I told Clara and Jack about the money ahead of time, figuring it would relieve some financial stress. Clara, of course, had no problem letting the news slip to a few friends, she loved to brag.
“I’m going to be $10,000 richer!” she said in a video that she posted on her socials. “Life keeps getting better!”

But just two weeks before the wedding, everything imploded.
Jack discovered Clara had been cheating on him with his friend Liam, a guy that Jack had known since middle school. It wasn’t just betrayal. It was nuclear.
Jack called off the wedding, and though I felt awful for him, I couldn’t blame him for walking away.
Clara, though?

She acted like she was the wronged party, complaining nonstop about the “embarrassment” of a canceled wedding.
“Do you know how stupid I look, Davina?” she sighed dramatically, draping herself over my couch.
“But really, sis. What did you expect? How long were things going on for between you and Liam?”
“That doesn’t matter!” she said, reaching out for her glass of wine on the coffee table.

“It does matter, Clara,” I said. “Were you really going into a new marriage while taking your lover along?”
“Don’t say ‘lover,'” she glared. “Don’t make it cheap.”
“You ruined your relationship,” I said. “Don’t make me the bad person for telling you that you made the biggest mistake.”
Any guilt that my sister might’ve felt was buried under layers of self-pity.

A few days after our argument, my sister showed up at my apartment again. This time she was puffy-eyed but determined. She was a woman on a mission.
She sank onto my couch without asking, setting a latte on the table between us.
“Davina,” she began, her voice a mix of desperation and entitlement. “So, the wedding didn’t happen. Isn’t going to happen… but I still want my gift. Okay?”

I blinked, certain I hadn’t heard her correctly.
“What?”
“The $10,000,” she said, crossing her legs and folding her hands neatly in her lap, like we were discussing the weather. “You already promised it, and honestly, I need it more now than ever. Jack’s kicking me out of the apartment. I have two more days until I need to be out. I need the money for a new place, Davina.”
I was silent. I couldn’t believe the audacity.

“Plus…” she sighed dramatically. “I could use a major shopping spree to cheer myself up.”
Again, it wasn’t just the words, it was the audacity. I stared at her, waiting for some sign of remorse or self-awareness, but she just looked back expectantly, like I was a vending machine about to spit out cash.
“Clara,” I said carefully. “You can’t be serious. You’re asking for the gift after you cheated on Jack and ruined the wedding?”

Her face twisted in frustration.
“That’s irrelevant! You promised the money, Davina! It’s not fair for you to take it back just because the wedding didn’t happen.”
Something inside me snapped.
“Actually,” I said, sitting up straighter. “I don’t have the money anymore. I’ve given the money to Jack.”

Her jaw dropped, and she almost fell off the couch.
“What?! Davina!”
“Yeah,” I lied smoothly. “Dear sister. Jack’s been a close friend of mine since college. He’s starting a business, and I wanted to support him. After what he’s been through… I figured it was the least I could do.”
Clara froze for a moment, her brain working overtime to process the betrayal.
Then she exploded.

“You gave my money to Jack?!” she shrieked, her voice sharp enough to make my upstairs neighbor stomp on the floor. “Are you insane? He’s not even family! Davina, how could you betray me like this?”
I didn’t flinch.
“It wasn’t your money,” I said calmly. “It was a gift for your wedding, which, let’s not forget, you destroyed. Clara, you betrayed Jack. And you didn’t even have the decency to end the relationship first, you just cheated. Why would I reward that?”

Her cheeks flushed with rage.
“You’re supposed to support me! You’re my sister!”
“And I do support you,” I said, standing up. “But supporting you doesn’t mean condoning your actions. You made this mess, Clara. You need to face the consequences now.”
She stormed out, slamming the door so hard it rattled the frame.

I thought that was the end of it, but she kept up her tantrum for days.
She called, texted, and even roped our mom into trying to guilt me.
“Just give her the money, Davina,” Mom had said reluctantly, but I refused.
Here’s the kicker.

At that point, I hadn’t actually given Jack the money. I’d just said it to make a point. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it wasn’t a bad idea. Jack was a good man who’d been dealt a terrible hand, and he deserved a fresh start.
The next day, I called him.
“Hey, Jack,” I said nervously. “I know this is out of the blue. But I’ve been thinking about your startup. You know, you told me all about it at the engagement party. I want to invest $10,000, not as a loan. Just a gift. I believe in you.”

There was a long pause.
“Davina, I don’t even know what to say,” he said finally, his voice thick with emotion.
“Are you sure? I can’t take that kind of money from you.”
“You’re not taking it,” I insisted. “You’re building something with it. And I think you need this more than anyone else right now.”
Eventually, he accepted.

Fast forward a few months, and Jack’s startup, a platform connecting freelancers to small businesses, took off. It wasn’t just successful.
It was thriving. He was thriving.
He sent me a thank-you note with the first return on my investment, and it nearly brought me to tears.
As for Clara?

She eventually stopped speaking to me. She moved back in with our parents, sulked for weeks, and found a way to spin the narrative to make me the villain. When I refused to engage, she gave up.
I don’t regret what I did. If anything, I hope it taught Clara a valuable lesson: entitlement doesn’t pay, but accountability does.
As for Jack? He’s happier than I’ve ever seen him, and I’d like to think I had a small part in helping him rebuild his life.

But then, my mother called unexpectedly and asked me to brunch.
“Davina,” she said on the phone. “We need to talk.”
“Mom, if it’s about Clara, I don’t have anything else to say.”
“No, it’s about you, honey.”

So, there I was, sitting at a trendy brunch buffet, waiting for my mother to appear. I hoped that she would come alone.
Thankfully, she did.
“Mom,” I said, hugging her as she sat down.
“Darling,” she said. “Let’s get some food and then we need to talk.”

We walked around the buffet, picking and choosing our way through the food. I just wanted my mother to spit it out. From her pursed lips, I knew she had something to say.
“Right,” I said. “Mom, talk away. I’ve got a lot of work to get through. Final approvals and all that.”
“I have to ask,” she said, picking at a strawberry on her pancakes. “Did you do this to get… did you do this to get with Jack?”

“Excuse me?” I gasped.
“Was this all about teaching Clara a lesson, or did you want Jack for yourself? I saw a photo of the two of you on his socials last week. You invited him to an event for the magazine?”
“I did,” I admitted. “It was an event for all our techies. It was the perfect networking event for Jack.”
My mother was silent for a moment.

“And as for the other thing, Mom, come on. Jack and I have known each other for years. Since way before Clara and Jack even met. He’s my friend, and he’s close to me. But do I want anything else from him? Not a chance.”
My mother looked stricken.
“I knew it,” she muttered. “I had to ask, darling. Clara has been driving your father and me nuts. She was adamant that you got what you’ve always wanted, to ruin her.”

“I wanted to teach her a lesson,” I said. “That’s all. She needs to grow up, Mom.”
So, I might not be the perfect sister. But I am the honest one. And that’s more than enough for me.
