New Mom Halle Bailey Responds To Fan's Tweet That She Lied And Gaslit Fans About Her Pregnancy

Ariel is a mama! Actress and singer-songwriter Halle Bailey introduced her son, Halo, to her fans through an Instagram post. "The world is desperate to know you," was her cheeky caption.

Eagle-eyed fans spent months watching "The Color Purple" star's every move. Last November, Halle addressed the speculations about her pregnancy on Snapchat when she told intrusive spectators to "leave her alone" after they made comments about her having a "pregnancy nose."

Halle's warning that "there would be hell to pay" if another person talked about her "pregnancy nose" did little to dissuade people from theorizing about her pregnancy. Rumors only amplified when photos of her in baggy clothes alongside DDG, her boyfriend, surfaced online.

Fans became more convinced than ever that "The Little Mermaid" actress would soon become a mother. Halle remained quiet despite meddlesome remarks from her fans.

She attended red-carpet events and award ceremonies without once addressing the rumors brewing online. It was an impressive feat given how many people zoomed in on her photos — determined to have the first definitive visual proof that Halle and DDG were about to become parents.

Even after her Instagram post about baby Halo, some of Halle's fans remained upset. Perhaps feeling betrayed by the R&B singer's decision to keep her pregnancy private, some of Halle's fans took to social media to express their feelings.

Based on how some of her fans reacted, Halle was right when she said the world was desperate to know her baby.

Their curiosity and insistence on being involved in their favorite's life is questionable.

Can we blame celebrities if they keep their personal lives private when some adoring fans take their fanaticism to the extreme?

This time, Halle did not remain silent when a fan accused her of lying and gaslighting people about her pregnancy.

@EchoDoesRadio

Halle stated she never lied about her pregnancy. She joked about her nose and questioned why they were upset about her decision to protect her peace.

@HalleBailey

People were supportive of Halle's decision to stay low-key about her pregnancy.

@81sgrande

Halle has no obligation to involve her fans in such private matters.

@ykkswb

These so-called "fans" should reflect on why they felt entitled to know everything about Halle.

@___lovelani

Halle kindly told fans who belong in this category to live their best lives instead of wasting their time writing unwanted comments about hers.

@HalleBailey

She took a break from X after the exchange, saying her "hormones have been on 10 recently."

Now that baby Halo is safely in their arms, Chloe, Halle's sister, shared a video of her then-pregnant sister goofing around and dancing.

@ChloeBailey

Halle also teased about an upcoming song or album after the awards season. Her fans should show the same enthusiastic energy about her music as they did about rumors of her pregnancy.

@HalleBailey

These "fans" should look up what parasocial relationships are and evaluate if their entitlement to Halle's life is still healthy. Rumor-mongers forgot about boundaries and etiquette when they spent months critiquing Halle's looks and outfits.

Do they now feel vindicated that Halle finally shared a photo of Halo? It's unlikely that Halle will address other comments about her pregnancy unless another fan decides to test her patience, that is.
