Martha may introduce herself as a lawyer, but her beverage budget (which is nil) seems to suggest she’s more of a lawbreaker.
Halle Bailey, the talented actress known for her role in “The Little Mermaid,” recently faced a wave of criticism over her decision to keep her pregnancy private until the surprise announcement of her son Halo’s birth with rapper boyfriend DDG. The star took to X, previously known as Twitter, to address claims that she had intentionally misled the public about her pregnancy.
In a strongly-worded response, Bailey refuted the allegations, asserting, “I never lied or even said anything about it, honey. Making a joke about my nose was the farthest I went. I’ll never understand why you are mad I protected my own peace, wouldn’t you do the same?” This comes after a Snapchat user last November speculated about Bailey having a “pregnancy nose,” prompting a quick response from the actress.
Despite Bailey’s silence on her pregnancy before the Instagram post, eagle-eyed fans and media outlets noticed subtle changes, such as her choice of loose-fitting clothes in photoshoots and on the red carpet in the latter half of 2023. Furthermore, her limited presence during the press tour of the musical adaptation of “The Color Purple,” in which she played a significant role, raised eyebrows.
