The way they're hiding her pregnancy is sitcom legendary. 😂

Absolutely. Never seen anything like it 😂

why?

[@lbrook169]

How’d you know!!!!???? Did they announce it by then or are your eyes just that good?

The cameraman understood the assignment when she walked out. She has an awesome team!!! 👀

[@Snazzydoll440]

She pulled up the dress; once she sat down. I think Madam O instructed her to hide that belly till after the premier ‘Colour Purple’ movie.

I'd assume she practically started yesterday, considering I hadn't heard of her until today, and was wondering why Halle "Berry" looked different.

[@Bene_Gesserit]

She's sweet, she can sing, she can act and she stays humble on top of it all. She also started from youtube with her sister and climbed her way up which I find admirable. She deserves all the success and more projects to come. Just love Halle.

[@WhyWorldWet]

Her “Angel” track was heavenly

[@dadrienedavis]

She’s amazing! They didn’t start on KZbin tho, they had been acting for years (small roles). They were both in “Let It Shine” on Disney channel, and they both had roles in Tyler Perry movies/sitcoms. Also, Chloe played the younger version of Beyoncé’s character in “The Fighting Temptations” in 2003. They’re so talented and deserve all the things 😭🙏🏾

The girl had so many slip ups 😂 to the attire, the crazy photoshopping, her boyfriend slipped up and showed her bump, him putting in his bio “Rich Bum” after a tweet went viral saying Halle got pregnant by a bum, and now we have the crazy camera angles.

I love everything about the Bailey sisters. They are beautiful, talented, and do everything with so much grace. Everyone says they’re the sweetest, most humble individuals and I can truly see that from the outside looking in. Major shoutout to their parents and their village, they raised exceptional children. I also love how Halle said they take into consideration the advice bey gives and not automatically change things just because it is her and how bey lets them be themselves!! Wonderful partnership they have.

I'd cast her as the NEW Storm. Halle Berry handing the torch to Halle Bailey. The Color Purple is not an easy script.

[@5_STAR01]

Chloe Bailey would be a better choice for Storm since she has that deeper tone of voice that could sound superior and she built like storm in comics
