Chloe Bailey Hands Over Twitter Management to Team Amid Online Backlash
Chloe Bailey, recently revealed in an interview with ET Canada that she has delegated management of her Twitter account to her team due to online trolls and negativity.
Although Chloe used to manage her account personally and still uses other social media platforms, she deleted Twitter from her phone after facing criticism for being “too sexy” and being unfavorably compared to her sister, Halle Bailey.
Chloe shared her current approach to Twitter, stating, “When you see me ‘tweeting,’ it’s because I’ll say (to my team), ‘Oh, tweet this for me.’ Or I’ll be like, ‘Send me any viral tweets or anything you think I should respond to or you know I’d want to. Send it my way because you know I won’t see it.'” She further explained her decision, saying, “I love all social media, and I love Twitter as well, but that’s where you can see all the negative things about you directly in your face.”
The singer and actress expressed her reluctance to engage with negativity on the platform, noting, “If I see my name trending, I’d click it and see a whole plethora of negative tweets about myself. I don’t need to do that to myself.”
Chloe recently faced criticism for her sex scene with Damson Idris in the Prime Video series Swarm. Although she laughed it off and expressed pride in her performance during the interview, she acknowledged the impact of ongoing social media criticism.
The 24-year-old concluded, “I feel that when you continue to be fed the same thing, you’ll start to believe it. And I started changing myself based off what I thought people’s opinions were of me. That’s not O.K.”
