Chloe Bailey was devastated when she learned she’d accidentally eaten meat for the first time in 10 years.
Bailey is an American actress and singer who shot to fame alongside her sister Halle Bailey as the duo Chloe x Halle.
Together, the siblings have released two studio albums, with the latter, ‘Ungodly Hour,’ receiving widespread acclaim.
Over the years, Bailey and her sister have been outspoken about their dietary choices.
The two have been open about their choice to practice veganism, a diet that abstains from the use of animal products.
But on one occasion, Bailey was horrified to find out she’d broken her lifestyle choice when a hotel messed up her order.
People took to the comments after the singer opened up about the incident, with one writing: “Seven plus years here. I completely understand this. It’s happened to me too. I am so skeptical about where I buy my food.”
Another added: “I’m vegan and the thought of it made me sick.”
Empathizing, a third said: “If I put 10 years into something and someone’s mistake jeopardizes that, I’d be p***ed…”
“That is not cool, I haven’t eaten pork in 20 years and recently stopped eating meat I would have instantly been sick,” somebody else commented.
In an Instagram livestream, Chloe revealed her avoidance of meat was broken when she went to see Beyoncé perform in Atlanta, Georgia, per The Independent.
She began: “So I called to get a Beyond burger for sis and I like usual. Specified that it’s vegan, no butter on the bun, nothing like that.”
Beyond Meat is a brand of plant-based, meat alternatives designed to look, taste, and cook like meat.
The ‘Have Mercy’ singer said she was in the shower when the burger arrived and when she returned to the bedroom, her younger sister immediately questioned her about the meal.
“She’s eating the burger and she’s like, ‘Are you sure this is Beyond?’ She took a couple of bites and she said, ‘This is really good, you sure it’s Beyond?’” Chloe said.
“I touched the patty and smelled it and was like, ‘Of course, it’s Beyond, yeah.’”
However, the pop star quickly realized she was mistaken.
Chloe continued: “So I finish getting dressed, I take a bite and the juice dripping from the burger is not like a Beyond burger. I just knew it was not a fake burger.
“The one bite I took and I just knew. Immediately I said, ‘This doesn’t feel right.’”
The singer immediately rang the hotel’s front desk to try and get some answers.
“I said, ‘Ugh, these are vegan burgers right?’ He said, ‘No, they’re brand burgers.’ I said, ‘Brand burgers? I said Beyond burgers.’ I don’t even know what a brand burger is,” Chloe recalled.
Understandably, the singer was upset to learn she had unintentionally broken her vegan diet.
Chloe told followers: “Halle’s laughing at me because I’m crying. This is right before the concert yesterday. I’m crying, Halle’s just laughing so hard at me because I’m freaking out.”
Months after the burger incident, Chloe took to TikTok and admitted that she had started eating chicken, 11 years after beginning her vegan diet.
Letting out a deep sigh, she began: “My confession is that recently I have begun consuming chicken.”
“And let me tell you something, yes, after 11 years – I’m dead a** serious. I’m not joking. After 11 years of being vegan, I consume chicken now.”
The ‘Do It’ singer clarified that she does not consume any other dairy products.
Chloe told fans: “And it’s like, I am still allergic to egg whites and I don’t consume dairy and honestly it’s been really good.
“I don’t eat anything else, but I’ve just been dabbling with some chicken.”
She continued: “And you know, the first time I ate it, my stomach cramped maybe a little bit. After that, I was fine.
“I just can’t eat fried chicken with egg wash, because I’m allergic to eggs. But what I have noticed is that my body has been getting more toned. And I haven’t even been working out crazy like I usually do and I feel like it’s just been toning me.”
Joking that she would be caught ‘sooner or later,’ Chloe concluded: “So I mean, I knew sooner or later maybe there’d be a picture of me with a chicken wing in my mouth.”
