Halle Bailey Explains She Was ‘No Way in Hell’ Going to ‘Expose’ Baby Halo in Essence Black Women Awards Speech

The ‘Color Purple’ actress also detailed the ‘state of the world’ and ‘men trying to force their will on women’s bodies’ in her powerful acceptance speech.

While being honored for her work in film, the 23-year-old Little Mermaid star pointed out that she had no plans to ever “expose” her baby boy, Halo, to the world. Halle went on to note that the current “state of the world, and men trying to force their will on women’s bodies, no one on social media was going to tell me what to share.” Do you remember how private Beyoncé was about her pregnancy?” Halle asked the audience, before adding, “Every woman in the world has the right to choose what to do with their bodies.”
