Chloe Bailey got emotional after realizing she’d unknowingly eaten meat—something she had avoided for a decade.

The singer and actress rose to fame with her sister Halle as the Grammy-nominated duo Chloe x Halle. Over the years, both have spoken openly about living vegan, choosing meals that contain no animal products.

That’s why a recent food mix-up hit hard. During a trip to Atlanta to see Beyoncé perform, Bailey ordered a vegan Beyond burger from her hotel, stressing it needed to be fully plant-based—no butter, no animal ingredients.

When the meal arrived, Halle took a few bites and asked if it was definitely Beyond. Chloe reassured her, even smelling the patty and insisting it was the plant-based option.

Then Chloe took one bite—and immediately knew something was off. The texture and “juicy” taste didn’t match what she expected from a meat alternative. She called the front desk to confirm, and the reply made it worse: it wasn’t Beyond at all.

On a livestream, Chloe admitted she started crying right before the concert, while Halle laughed at the chaos of the moment. Fans flooded the comments with sympathy, saying they’d feel the same after years of sticking to a strict diet.

Later, Bailey also shared that she has since reintroduced chicken—while still avoiding dairy and eggs due to allergies.
