After being accused of lying and gaslighting by shutting down fans who asked her if she was pregnant before she eventually gave birth to son, Halo, in early January, the singer and actor hit back on X, formerly Twitter.

Celebrities' personal lives exist in an odd in-between place of public and private, and often stars will go to great lengths to protect their privacy, which is understandable.

This is what happened recently when Hally Bailey was expecting her first child. The "Angel" singer was able to keep fans in the dark, for months, about her pregnancy with DDG.


Then the first-time parents announced the birth of their son, Halo, on January 6.

Since the announcement, Bailey has shared videos that she shot while expecting. But some fans, apparently, couldn't appreciate the lighthearted content because of how secretive Bailey had been.

Some went so far as to accuse her of lying to her supporters and gaslighting them when they inquired about her pregnancy. The new mom had finally had it with their nonsense.

Bailey criticized people on X (formerly Twitter) on January 28.

People jumped in to defend Bailey's decision to protect her privacy.

Others thought that fans' obsessing over Bailey's private life were out of line.




Another person shared her own reasons for being private about her pregnancy.

And some said that Bailey's privacy was worth the lie.

One offered a sobering context for why a Black woman might want to keep a pregnancy private.

Finally, a person managed to reflect multiple sides of the privacy issue.

Bailey was steering clear of social media during her pregnancy, but appears to be back and posting again.

Hillary Clinton Epically Calls Out 'Disgraceful' Trump For Working With Putin Against Ukraine: 'He Has Betrayed The West'

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized President Donald Trump and his administration during an exchange at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend, saying Trump has "betrayed the West" with his "disgraceful" handling of Ukraine.

In particular, Clinton called out Trump's often deferential attitude toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, who invaded Ukraine in a "special military operation" in 2022. Clinton said that not only are Putin and Trump "profiting" off Ukrainian "misery," Trump is also looking to Putin as a "model" of what a leader can be, effectively betraying Western values.

Tyra Banks wanted to share her side of the story and do some big reveals in the Netflix docuseries Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, but if she was hoping the docuseries would improve her image to the public, she was sadly mistaken.

Past model contestants have already gone public about their time on the show, but now, people from behind the scenes, like one of the show's photographers and judges, Nigel Barker, the creative director, Jay Manuel, and judge and runway coach Miss J. Alexander, have all come forward with their experiences, and the history might be darker than we ever expected.
