Bold and the Beautiful 2-Week Spoilers for July 27 – August 7, 2026 see Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) really struggling as he’s drawn towards his biological mother versus his wife’s unwavering ultimatum to stay away. Plus, Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) gets a warning that hits close to home.

Also, in the two weeks of July 27th through August 7th, we’re going to see those Monaco remote episodes. Plus, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) shows up to harass Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). We got all that, lots more. Let’s get right to it.

Bold and the Beautiful: Dylan and Will’s Night Together

On Monday, July 27th, Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) wakes up blissed out in Will’s arms on his sofa. Dylan made bold moves to try and make Will her man about five minutes after he and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) broke up and Dylan is unapologetically going after what she wants. She and Will swap awkward good mornings and then it’s time for them to get to work.

Dylan’s going to head to Forrester Creations and Will heads to work at Logan. He runs into his big brother Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) who takes a look at Will and wonders if he’s moved on from Electra with somebody else already. And Will may confide in Wyatt and tell him that Dylan wanted to help him forget what happened.

Up at Logan, Allison tries to warn Hope that she couldn’t stop Steffy from barging in. Hope isn’t happy to see her stepsister, and Steffy tells Allison she doesn’t bite, but the receptionist tells Steffy that’s not what she heard about her. And then Steffy wants Hope to admit that what she’s doing at Logan is wrong.

Steffy’s ranting about her collection, about Hope coming over to Logan. Steffy saying all of it was wrong. And Hope says she’s at Logan now where she is actually wanted. But Steffy won’t let up and says that Hope pulled the grenade pin and started a war. She’s not interested in anything that Steffy has to say and is going to push back hard.

B&B Spoilers: Finn’s Conflicted Loyalties and Sheila’s Persistence

Then on Tuesday, July 28th, Finn makes a promise to Steffy that his loyalty will always be to her. Finn makes it clear she comes before Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) and he won’t break the ultimatum that Steffy’s given him. Will gets a reality check from Wyatt. I’m sure he doesn’t like that Will punched Eric Forrester (John McCook), but I’m also sure that Wyatt is going to believe it was an unfortunate accident, but he knows that Will needs to rein in his temper.

Jessica’s back, so I’m sure that means she and Dylan are talking up at Bikini Bar. Jessica encouraged Dylan to go for it with Will. And boy did she do that. Wednesday, July 29th, we’re going to have Electra bossing Dylan around about Will. Even though Electra says she’ll never be with Will again, she’s not okay with Dylan pursuing him. I expect threats and ultimatums like Electra has done in the past with Dylan.

But this time, I think she’s not going to hold back with Electra. I am fully expecting that she will threaten Dylan’s job and that Electra will say, “If you want to be my friend, you can never be with Will.” And we’re also going to see Dylan looking sexy with a smoky eye and a whole new determined look because one night with Will and she’s a whole new woman. Apparently, these scenes last for a couple of episodes.

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Sheila Desperate to Win Steffy Over

Sheila tries to argue the point of why she should be allowed into Steffy, Finn, and Hayes Forrester Finnegan’s (Bryan Garlick) lives. So, we’ll see if Sheila is doing this face to face with Steffy or if she’s talking to her roommate or if Sheila has gone back over to try and convince Finn to get her some facetime with Steffy to talk about it.

Then on Thursday, July 30th, Dylan confesses about her night of passion with Will because Dylan says something that totally shocks Electra. In the Forrester design office, she is furious and raging at Dylan. We’ve got Electra saying, “Tell me that you didn’t.” Oh, yes. Dylan did do it and maybe more than once if she got the chance.

Electra and Dylan’s friendship is likely done after this. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Electra fires Dylan since she is her boss. And Electra knows the Forresters will back her up on the firing because Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and the rest of them all despise Will for what he did to Eric, which they all think was not an accident.

Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) and Finn have an intense talk at the Malibu house. And as they talk, Taylor begins to see that Finn’s walls are coming down about Sheila. So Taylor may warn Steffy that Finn is feeling very conflicted about his biological mom.

B&B Spoilers: Steffy Considers the Risks

Friday, July 31st, after Taylor talks to Finn, we’re going to see Steffy pondering the risk of giving Sheila a chance to be in their lives. We also have Sheila pouring her heart out to Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) about how desperate she is to get back into Finn’s life and Hayes’s life, too. And we’ll find out at this point if Sheila and Li are really roommates.

Finn and Li both really think Sheila’s changed, but I doubt that Steffy’s stance is going to soften without something changing. But things are going to change soon. We also have Sheila sitting and talking to herself, saying, “Why won’t you open your heart and let me in, Steffy? Why?”

Bold and the Beautiful: Monaco Drama and Strategic Maneuvering

We also know the scenes from the Monaco location shoot are going to air soon. Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge head to Monte Carlo for Forrester business. Steffy’s there too and she decides to bring Finn along maybe to make sure Sheila can’t get to him if he stays back in LA. Monte Carlo is a place of great importance for Steffy and Finn.

If you remember, that’s where Steffy first saw that Finn wasn’t dead and rushed into his arms. And with them shooting scenes at a church, I do wonder if Steffy and Finn might renew their vows or Brooke and Ridge since they got married in an office and not in a church at all. Brad Bell said that the Monte Carlo scenes will be in a church and on the beach. Called it a secret story that ties into a game-changing plot.

Once she realizes Steffy and Finn left the country, Sheila decides to follow them, hops on a plane, and stalks them to Monaco. Things get heated when Steffy spots Sheila on the beach and Steffy comes over to rant and rage at Sheila for following them. But it looks like Steffy or Finn might be in danger and Sheila may save one or both of them.

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Will Tries to Make Amends

Meanwhile, back in LA, Will’s making an effort to smooth things over with Electra. I had hoped that now that he and Dylan got close that Will would just not talk to her again. Everybody has said it’s not going to work out and he needs to put Electra behind him. But let’s face it, Will is a sucker for her. But I bet Electra is going to rage at him over spending the night with Dylan.

Then the week of August 3rd through the 7th, we’ve got Steffy, Finn, Brooke, Ridge, and Sheila having these few episodes in Monaco before they head back to LA. We’ll find out more about this dramatic life-changing event that Brad Bell promised us and whether Sheila can finally earn Steffy’s trust.

B&B Spoilers: Will May Lash Out

Will may be upset that Dylan told Electra about their night of passion, but Dylan will probably justify and tell Will, “Look, this was for the best. She was never going to take you back anyway.” The Forresters also will never let Electra be with him. And also, I think Dylan may tell him, “Look, Will, you deserve better than Electra. She’s selfish. She always puts others before you.”

We also may see Electra looking for revenge on Dylan anf if Electra doesn’t already fire her in week one, I think she will in week two. She’s not going to like it that Dylan got intimate with Will. And R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) is going to be right there cheering Electra on and definitely encouraging her to forget Will. R.J. will probably be saying stuff like, “Will’s like all the Spencers, liars and cheaters.” And R.J. may try and say, “Will cheated with Dylan” when that’s not the case at all. Not even a little.

Katie Logan (Heather Tom) still reeling from Brooke kicking her out of the family. And Eric and Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) not telling the truth is totally cowardly on both their parts. I’m sure that Hope is going to catch Katie up on the nastiness that Steffy spewed at her and she and Katie are going to renew their plans to put Forrester Creations behind them and make Logan a smash success.

Ms. Rachel, a famed educator and YouTuber, has now weighed in, sharing her thoughts on the investigation into the death of Nolan Xavier Wells.

Ms. Rachel Shares Her Thoughts On Investigation Into Death Of Nolan Xavier Wells

On Sunday, July 26, Ms. Rachel took to Threads to share a message with her more than 2.3 million followers. “We know the investigation and everything that followed would have been different if Nolan Wells were white and his friends were black. Nolan and his family deserve justice,” she wrote.

Social Media Weighs In On Ms. Rachel’s Thoughts

Social media users took to The Shade Room’s comment section, sharing their thoughts on Ms. Rachel’s stance.

As The Shade Room previously reported, Ms. Rchael’s comment arrives amid comments from Nolan Wells’ “best friends” Warren Hudson and Tracestin Shepherd. Most recently, Hudson alleged that no content was deleted from Wells’ phone, despite his parents feeling otherwise. Additionally, Shepherd spoke on feeling backstabbed by the Black community, and feeling “blamed” for what happened to Wells.

Meanwhile, Benjamin Crump responded to Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves, saying that he and Rev. Al Sharpton stoked division. This, while a report has asserted that Wells’ friends have been served with spoliation letters.

After his breakout role in a vertical microdrama, Nick Skonberg is opening up about his decision to make his next film his last.

“There was definitely a moment after that viral tweet [about my role on Loving My Brother’s Best Friend] blew up that I was like, ‘OK, maybe this is just my full time thing for the next little bit while I’m auditioning for other things,’” Skonberg, 23, exclusively told Us. “Then I think I was kind of taking a step back and looking at the microdrama industry as a whole.”

Skonberg knew he didn’t want to be boxed into one medium.

“How can I form my own kind of voice within this? Because the vertical timeline moves fast. Audiences are expecting an actor to come back every month or every month and a half, which is very different from a traditional acting career,” he noted. “Most actors on a certain level, you’re going to see them once a year. You’ll see them for the two months before that film comes out and then you’ll see them during that film.”

After filming his second vertical film, The Cheer Scandal, Skonberg chose to make a change, adding, “I was looking at what can I do to stand out a little bit. Maybe if I can approach this more like a traditional Hollywood career and am a bit more specific with the [microdramas] that I do and I have a delay in between projects, I can build some anticipation with that.”

He continued: “I’m specific about the movies I do and I feel good about [that]. Especially because there’s some great actors in the vertical scene but you’re expected to do a lot of films. I thought it would be interesting for what I’m trying to do if I kept my numbers small.”

The choice came with some pressure. “But I was also thinking that if there’s a way to make that opportunity really a launch point then that means I have to play it smart and specific,” he explained. “There is definitely pressure. But I really hope people are excited. I’m cooking something that I think will make up for my absence.”

Many TikTok users are familiar with ads popping up on their For You Page for fanfiction-esque shows. From age-gap romances to forbidden love stories, each miniseries feels like a mix between a soap opera and a Lifetime movie. The point of the ads is to drive users to download applications such as ReelShort, CandyJar and DramaBox that host the short shows, which usually last a minute or so per episode and are designed for mobile viewing.

CandyJar’s content — including Skonberg’s Loving My Brother’s Best Friend — went viral as mostly female viewers tuned in to get their romance fix. Skonberg, meanwhile, got his start doing short films. His collaboration with CandyJar marked his first role out of college and paved the way for more opportunities — including him being more involved in his third and final project with the company.

“We’re not officially greenlit yet but we’re pipelining to an official green light for the third and final vertical that I am going to do with CandyJar. I’m writing and producing on this one as well, which is exciting,” he told Us. “I’ve been prepping hard for that the past couple months.”

Skonberg’s swan song with CandyJar will connect more to his roots.

“It comes from my genuine love of the coming-of-age genre. There is a little bit of Risky Business in there. There’s a little bit of American Graffiti and Rebel Without a Cause. There is a forbidden romance,” he teased. ”I was trying to figure out how to add spectacle to this. These characters are like 17 but I think we pulled off some cool stuff. I’m just looking at how we can really make something that feels a little definitive for verticals at this early stage. How can we really like — as a collective — create something that the audience has been wanting?”

Looking back at his time at CandyJar, Skonberg couldn’t be more grateful.

It is never easy to unexpectedly say goodbye to your favorite characters — and 2026 has featured an influx of shocking departures on our TV screens from Grey’s Anatomy to Virgin River. Virgin River fans were surprised when showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed multiple characters were written off the show after season 7. Marco Grazzini addressed […]

“I’m really excited that the industry at large is taking a look at it. That makes me really confident coming into this third one. It makes me just really happy for all the people there,” he added. “I can’t say enough how good the people at Candy Jar are. It’s just really good people doing hard work.”

Skonberg, for his part, is hoping to do more feature films, sharing, “There’s so many interesting things with the landscape films that are going out right now. There’s a lot of parts that I want to play and a lot that haven’t been written that I wanted to play that’ll hopefully come my way.”

Later this year, Skonberg will appear in his first feature film titled Bloodstained Ivory. He is also hoping to explore more of every genre — including rom-coms — while also expanding into directing in the future.

“I lost 15 pounds [for this role]. I played piano for five months. It was a long process but it’s a film I think that means a lot to me,” he teased. “I also really wanted to play with my height in this role. Something that I wanted to explore was the danger that can exist in a guy that you go to class with or a guy that lives next door. It was about making him really unassuming until he needed to be. It also just made me feel like not myself and I think that was what I wanted for this guy.”

He concluded: “Part of the reason I fell in love with acting was it felt like I was able to have a voice that didn’t have any responsibility to Nick. I love a transformation role. I think it’s where I feel the most comfortable.”

Marvel Studios has managed to pull off something that feels almost impossible in today’s internet age: keeping one of the biggest casting secrets completely under wraps.

As Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters this week, fans are still asking the same question they’ve been debating for more than a year:

Who is Sadie Sink actually playing?

The speculation reached another level after Sony released a new promotional clip featuring Sink, where her answer about her character is intentionally bleeped out, instantly sending social media into detective mode once again. While the clip offers no definitive answers, it is the latest example of Marvel leaning into one of the film’s biggest mysteries.

Marvel Isn’t Hiding It by Accident

Director Destin Daniel Cretton recently explained that the secrecy is completely intentional and for good reason.

“There is a very real reason” the role hasn’t been revealed, Cretton said, adding that audiences will understand why once they have seen the movie. He also noted that while some fans enjoy knowing every detail ahead of release, preserving surprises is part of the experience.

That comment alone has convinced many fans that Sink’s character is not simply another supporting role, but someone whose identity could reshape the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Biggest Fan Theories

Gwen Stacy

Perhaps the safest prediction is Gwen Stacy.

Peter Parker is beginning a brand new chapter following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, making this an ideal opportunity to introduce one of Spider Man’s most iconic comic book characters.

With MJ and Ned moving on with their lives and no longer remembering Peter, a new relationship could naturally fit into this next phase of the franchise.

Jean Grey

For months, the internet was convinced Sink would make her MCU debut as Jean Grey, finally bringing one of Marvel’s most powerful mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The theory made sense on paper. Sink has the look, the acting range, and Marvel is steadily building toward introducing the X Men.

However, Tom Holland recently appeared to pour cold water on that idea, saying, “Well, she’s not in this movie, but it would be pretty cool.” Whether fans believe Holland, or think he is simply protecting another Marvel secret, is another story entirely.

Jean Grey [Marvel Comics]

Mayday Parker

Another increasingly popular theory suggests Sink could be playing Mayday Parker, Peter Parker’s daughter from an alternate universe.

Given Marvel’s continued use of multiverse storytelling, introducing Mayday now could open the door for future Spider Man stories while expanding the Parker family legacy beyond Peter himself.

Rachel Summers

Some fans have gone even deeper into Marvel lore by predicting Rachel Summers, the daughter of Jean Grey and Cyclops from an alternate timeline.

If Marvel plans to merge Spider Man’s street level adventures with the arrival of mutants, Rachel could serve as an unexpected bridge between those worlds.

Why the Secret Matters

Marvel has spent years trying to preserve genuine surprises in an era dominated by leaks and spoilers.

The studio has kept Sadie Sink largely absent from trailers, TV spots, and promotional materials, making her one of the few major MCU characters whose identity has remained completely unknown leading up to release.

With Brand New Day positioned as a fresh beginning for Peter Parker after the world forgot his identity, introducing a significant new character makes perfect narrative sense.

Whether that character is Gwen Stacy, an X Men icon, or someone fans have not even considered yet, Marvel clearly believes the reveal is worth protecting.

The Wait Is Almost Over

Fortunately, fans will not have to speculate much longer.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in theaters July 31, meaning the internet’s biggest MCU mystery is only days away from being solved. Until then, every new promotional clip, including the latest bleeped out interview with Sadie Sink, is only fueling the excitement.

One thing is certain: if Marvel has gone to these lengths to keep her character secret, the reveal is likely to be one of the film’s biggest moments.

We’re only halfway through 2026, and Prime Video has already built an outstanding lineup of shows. Historically, the streamer takes pride in offering a variety to meet different viewing demands. While certain viewers prefer easy one-night binges like Daisy Jones & The Six and My Lady Jane, others love a good sprawling series like The Expanse or Bosch that demands your full attention.

This year’s releases have largely been worth watching. From romantic drama book adaptations to fresh original series, the streamer continues to push out shows in different genres. Some shows stumble with uneven scripts or underwhelming chemistry, but others excel across the board. As Prime Video continues to expand its 2026 slate, here are the best original Prime Video series of the year so far.

9

‘Elle’ (2026–Present)

Image via Prime Video

In 2001, Reese Witherspoon gifted the world with Legally Blonde, changing the way audiences saw law school. This time around, Elle serves as a prequel, following a teenage Elle Woods (Lexi Minetree) in 1995. Her world comes crashing down after a career scandal forces her family to move to rainy Seattle, where she’s introduced to grunge, Nirvana, and plenty of plaid shirts.

Elle retains the bubbly, endearing spirit that made Legally Blonde so iconic, but that’s also where the prequel struggles. Instead of becoming a unique story, it relies on callbacks to the original film, even recreating some of its biggest moments. Rather than exploring who Elle was before Legally Blonde, it simply drops the same character into a different setting.

8

‘Steal’ (2026)

Image via Prime Video

Somebody’s workday is about to go horribly wrong in Steal. Trade processor Zara Dunne (Sophie Turner) arrives for another ordinary day at Lochmill Capital, only for armed thieves to storm the office and take employees, including Zara and Luke (Archie Madekwe), hostage. All they want is access to £4 billion in pension funds as part of an audacious heist.

Steal has all the ingredients of an entertaining thriller, featuring a robbery with government conspiracies. Zara isn’t a typical action hero. She’s a burned-out employee who ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time, relying on her intelligence to survive. The downside is that the series is so focused on maintaining its adrenaline-fueled pace that several promising emotional storylines are pushed to the sidelines.

7

’56 Days’ (2026)

Image via Prime Video

Keep your friends close, and your suspect closer. In 56 Days, Oliver (Avan Jogia) and Ciara (Dove Cameron) meet by chance at a grocery store. The two hit it off from the get-go, and they get sucked into a whirlwind romance. But just as they’re in their honeymoon phase, 56 days since their meet-cute, a shocking murder leaves both of them as prime suspects.

Although the series doesn’t spend much time building Oliver and Ciara’s initial emotional connection, their physical chemistry is undeniable. Their verbal chemistry, however, feels less convincing in the early episodes, and several key plot points may confuse viewers unfamiliar with the original novel. Still, the dual unreliable narration keeps the mystery engaging, as it’s never clear who’s lying and who’s telling the truth.

6

‘Every Year After’ (2026–Present)

Image via Prime Video

Fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty have a new small-town romance to obsess over. Every Year After follows Persephone “Percy” Fraser (Sadie Soverall), who spends her teenage summers in the lakeside town of Barry’s Bay, Ontario. There, she befriends the Florek brothers and slowly falls for the quiet but witty Sam Florek (Matt Cornett).

While it starts like a predictable coming-of-age romance, Every Year After isn’t afraid to get heavier. The story jumps between Percy and Sam’s teenage years and adulthood, where Percy returns carrying the regrets that drove her away from Barry’s Bay. As old mistakes resurface, it becomes clear she’s not the only one haunted by the past. The show makes a strong case that moving on isn’t possible until you’re willing to face what you’ve been running from.

5

‘Ride or Die’ (2026)

Image via Prime Video

The stakes are high when your best friend is about to be killed. In Ride or Die, assassin Judith (Hannah Waddingham) is offered one last chance to keep her job, but her mission unexpectedly revolves around MP David (Jamie Parker), who’s caught in a major scandal. David also happens to be married to Debbie (Octavia Spencer), Judith’s best friend, who has no idea she’s a professional assassin.

The female buddy-cop formula isn’t new, but Ride or Die gives it a fresh spin. Unlike the typical “hardened fighter and inexperienced sidekick” dynamic, Ride or Die makes both Judith and Debbie highly capable in their own right. As the danger escalates, their friendship becomes the show’s biggest strength. Their bond feels genuine, and because they’re true friends, they’ll risk everything to protect each other.

4

‘Young Sherlock’ (2026–Present)

Image via Prime Video

Adapting Sherlock Holmes while straying from Arthur Conan Doyle‘s work is a gamble, but Guy Ritchie makes it pay off. Young Sherlock serves as a non-canonical prequel, following a young Sherlock (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) who arrives at Oxford not as a student, but as a scout and cleaner. Even more surprising, James Moriarty (Dónal Finn) isn’t his greatest enemy, but his partner in crime.

True to Ritchie’s style, Young Sherlock is fast-paced, energetic, and full of gumption. Sherlock and Moriarty are already brilliant, often playing “mind games” together as they solve a mystery. However, their youth also makes them impulsive and inexperienced. The arrival of the mysterious Princess Shou’an (Zine Tseng) exposes their blind spots, adding a fresh nuance that humanizes the future detective and his eventual nemesis.

3

‘Scarpetta’ (2026–Present)

Image via Prime Video

It takes a woman to do a man’s job properly. Scarpetta follows Virginia Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta (Nicole Kidman), one of the country’s leading forensic pathologists. Told across two timelines — 1998 and the present — the thriller sees her revisit a decades-old serial murder case after a new victim is found bearing the same disturbing signature.

The murders aren’t the only horrors Scarpetta faces. The series also illustrates a bleak picture of workplace sexism, where even someone as accomplished as Scarpetta is treated as a liability, with male colleagues actively undermining her. Despite her brilliance, her personal life is equally complicated. While her stubborn refusal to confront her flaws can be frustrating, it ultimately leads to a shocking breaking point and a twist few viewers will see coming.

2

‘Off Campus’ (2026–Present)

In Off Campus, straight-A student Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) is blindsided when funding for her scholarship is suspended. Meanwhile, star hockey player Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli) is struggling academically, putting his place on the team at risk. They strike a deal: Hannah tutors Garrett, while he pretends to date her to help her catch the attention of a fellow student musician.

While fake dating is a familiar TV trope, Off Campus surprises viewers by tackling heavier themes, including sexual assault and its impact on relationships and intimacy. It’s also a refreshing portrayal of healthy masculinity, with Garrett and his teammates openly discussing consent, vulnerability, and respect without relying on outdated patriarchal stereotypes. Although their future at Briar University is uncertain, the chemistry between the two — be it physical or emotional — is obviously there.

1

‘Bait’ (2026)

Image via Prime Video

There’s a struggling actor, and then there’s Shah Latif (Riz Ahmed) in Bait. It’s not every day that a nobody lands an audition to become the next James Bond — a nod to the real-life rumors that once surrounded Ahmed. But Bait is really about a man consumed by impostor syndrome, and how that anxiety slowly turns him into someone he no longer recognizes.

Shah’s fears are understandable. As a British Pakistani man cast in a role traditionally played by white actors, he faces both subtle and overt racism. While the series tilts into psychological thriller territory, it’s balanced by Shah’s lovable, meddling family and authentic cultural touches, from Eid celebrations to Urdu, making Bait an easy binge that leaves viewers reflecting on the price of chasing external validation.

In 2026 so far, Chloe Bailey has clocked social media trolls at least four times. After this weekend, that number went up to five! On TikTok, Bailey went diss-for-diss with critics who spoke on her appearance without makeup.

Singer Flexes Her Happiness In New TikTok Video

This past weekend, one of the TT videos she shared was a voiceover about loving life. In the video, Chloe is lip-syncing the audio while holding the camera above her face, cheesing and dipping her bead-adorned locs into the water. Her caption says “happiness.”

Chloe Bailey Goes IN On Trolls

As of Monday, the video has over 3.4 million views and upwards of 2,700 comments. While some are praising Chloe Bailey’s happy glow, others are sharing not-so-nice opinions about the singer’s appearance, including her smile and facial expression. Rather than let the trolls drag her down, Bailey stepped into the comment section with them.

After one user commented, “Celebs without makeup…,” the singer replied, “Y’all see me without makeup all the time stfu” and added laughing emojis. Another user commented a photo of Kermit the Frog with oversized white teeth. To that one, Chloe responded, “and you giving ET phone home with that head.” 

TikToker @callmemaw001 wrote, “Wait this ain’t a filter,” adding a GIF of a woman laughing in bed. Bailey responded, “Nope but you should put one on next time, it’d help a lot.” Another user commented, “Idkkkk sum ain’t right sistaaa,” and Bailey replied:

“Let’s try to figure it out together & then we’ll try to figure out why yo bored a*s wasting time posting on my page sista.” 

Meanwhile @jus_tianna said, “I was trying to figure out who this was until I saw the name.” Bailey responded, “With or without seeing your name or face, no1 would know who the hell you are.” After another user asked “Is that you,” the ‘Grownish’ star said, “Yes! But let’s invest in some Cecred for that hairline.” 

One TikToker spoke of how society is used to using filter so much “that we forget our natural skin.” In her reply, Chloe Bailey said, “Not me ma’am, I post all the time with & without filter. Both versions are beautiful!”

When someone else called out the video’s angle, Bailey responded, “These lips…get some chapstick.” Then someone asked her whether she’s the same Chloe on Instagram. She responded with a zoomed in selfie, writing, “Yes hi hello how are you.” 

Call Her The Clap Back Queen!

As mentioned, it’s not Chloe Bailey’s first time poppin’ off on critics. In January, she addressed shade about her weight and reminding the haters that her “body TEA.”

Just a few months later, in April, she checked another social media user for trying to shut down her “baddie energy” but saying she’s only “a cute lil lovely girl.” To that, she said, “Yes. I am a cute lil lovely girl and a bad b*tch. Don’t put me in a box just bc you’re boring & have no fun.”

Then, a month later, she again cleared rumors about her physique and shut down pregnancy talks. Finally, earlier this month, she had words for a TikToker who slammed her BET Awards look.

“You don’t have to like my hair and you don’t have to like my outfit, but you would never get a chance with me brother man,” Chloe Bailey said in a clap back video aimed at the TikToker.
