They sometimes say that what you don’t know won’t kill you, and that may be true for one incident in Chloe Bailey’s life. She recently spoke about how she was devastated after she learned she’d accidentally eaten meat for the first time in a decade.
Bailey is a singer and actress who became famous along with her sister, Hallie Mary as the duo Chloe x Halle. They have so far released two studio albums, including one that became very famous, ‘Ungodly Hour’.
One thing that Bailey and her sister have discussed many times over the years is their dietary choice. They were both vegans, so they avoided using animal products as food or in other ways.
Bailey spoke recently about how she had broken her lifestyle choice after a hotel made a mistake on a food order. She said: “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..”
In case you’re not familiar with Beyond Meat, it’s a brand name of plant-based food that is a meat alternative. It is supposed to look, taste, and even cook like meat.
Bailey was in the shower when the burger arrived and after getting back into the bedroom, her sister started questioning her about the meal.
Chloe said: “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?’
“I touched the patty and smelled it and was like, ‘Of course, it’s Beyond, yeah.'”
It didn’t take her long to realize that she had made a mistake. She 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.'”
Chloe then called the front desk of the hotel to straighten things out. She continued: “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.”
As you can imagine, she was upset when she found out that she had broken the diet that she had been following for 10 years. She said:
“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.”

Several months after it happened, she went on TikTok and admitted that she began eating chicken. That was 11 years after starting the vegan diet.
She said: “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.
“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.
“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.
“So I mean, I knew sooner or later maybe there’d be a picture of me with a chicken wing in my mouth.”
