Halle Bailey doesn’t understand why haters are “mad” that she “protected [her own] peace” by keeping her pregnancy under wraps.
The “Little Mermaid” star clapped back at a user on X who accused her of “gaslighting” fans by not telling them she and rapper DDG were expecting their first child, who was born in December 2023.
“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?” Bailey, 23, wrote on the social media platform Sunday.
“and i’m gonna share my pics now if i want to because my son is here safely, if u don’t wanna see it just keep scrolling baby lol God bless you !”
In a second tweet she added, “lol my hormones have been on 10 recently so i’m gonna go back to staying off twitter. love you all.”
The user she was responding to claimed fans were “annoyed” that Bailey “went out of her way to lie and gaslight” them about her pregnancy.
“Then, she shaded people and called them desperate. Now, she wants those same ‘desperate’ people to know every little detail,” they alleged.
The “Color Purple” actress previously addressed her fans’ questions on Snapchat, revealing that she “just wanted to make sure [she] had a beautiful, private healthy time.”
She also thanked her followers for being “so kind and understanding” in the post last week.
“Honestly I stayed off of all social media. I really tried to just keep myself sane and I know that there was a lot of people who would always comment and be like, ‘We know girl, we know,’” she recalled.
“And I’m like, ‘OK, that’s great that you know, but I’m just going to chill.’”
Bailey initially sparked pregnancy rumors when she attended the MTV Video Music Awards in a flowing dress back in September 2023.

An eyewitness at the event told Page Six that “Halle stayed away from the pink carpet so she would not be photographed, and when she was inside, she was very mindful in the way she gave hugs, and who she gave them to.”
The songstress further fueled speculation when she attended last month’s premiere of “The Color Purple” in a poofy dress.
She welcomed her baby boy, Halo, with DDG later that month.
“Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son.. welcome to the world my halo 🥰👼🏽 ✨,” she captioned an adorable snap of her son’s hand.
