Vegan Chloe Bailey accidentally eats meat for first time in 10 years

Chloe Bailey has spent the past 10 years following a strict vegan diet so you can understand why she was absolutely mortified to have accidentally eaten meat. 

The Have Mercy singer and her sister, Little Mermaid actress Halle Bailey, cut out meat from their diet a decade ago and have been open about their dietary choice since. 

However, Chloe, 25, found herself in a tricky predicament when the burger she ordered at a hotel on Saturday turned out to be red meat rather than plant-based.

In her latest Instagram live, the Swarm actress explained to her followers how the incident happened right before she attended Beyonce’s tour show in Atlanta, Georgia over the weekend. 

‘So I called to get a Beyond burger for sis and I like usual,’ she began. ‘Specified that it’s vegan, no butter on the bun, nothing like that. So we get the burgers, I’m getting out the shower… and she’s eating the burger and she’s like, “Are you sure this is Beyond?” 

‘She took a couple of bites, she said, “This is really good, you sure it’s Beyond?” I said “Yeah”.’

It wasn’t until Chloe ate a piece of the burger herself that she knew something was amiss. 

The R&B singer continued: ‘I touched the patty and smelled it and was like, “Of course, it’s Beyond, yeah”. 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 sprung into action to raise the issue with the hotel front desk, recalling: ‘I immediately called downstairs and 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. 

‘Immediately I’m losing my s**t. I gobbled down a whole can of Sprite.’ 

Sharing her sister’s reaction, she added: ‘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. I’ve been vegan for 10 years.

‘I have not consumed any red meat for 10 years.’ 

Halle, 23, previously detailed how she and Chloe ditched meat for a fully vegan diet in their younger years.

Speaking to Complex in 2017, the Disney star said: ‘Being vegan started from our mother. One day she was like, “I’m gonna try to be vegetarian for a week. You can join me if you’d like.” We started the week with her and just never went back.’ 

In 2023, Halle was named one of Peta’s most beautiful vegan celebrities in the world – hopefully, meat burger-gate won’t get the title revoked.
