Bailey's fans were there for it.
\u201c@ChloeBailey See I don\u2019t like how people are trying to project their insecurities because they aren\u2019t comfortable with their own bodies. Chloe has an amazing body; if she wants to show that off, she has every right to. Very weird people tryna police that\u201d— Chlo\u0308e (@Chlo\u0308e) 1667943117

\u201c@ChloeBailey Chloe, do WHATEVER YOU WANNA DO! You threaten those who have not evolved into a whole human who can own their sexuality boldly.\n\nThey are jealous of the permission you gave yourself. They don\u2019t possess that kind of power.\n\nDo. You. You\u2019re beautiful. Live your life.\ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffe\u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udda4\ud83d\udc9a\u201d— Chlo\u0308e (@Chlo\u0308e) 1667943117

Bailey has previously shared her views on self love:
"We can love ourselves as much as we want to love someone else."
"In most relationships, you express love through sex. Why can't you do that with yourself and love yourself?"
"Why can't you be sexy for yourself?
“Be in a relationship with yourself. That’s what self-love is.”
