Social media is in shambles after Glamour Magazine UK Allegedly misquoted our good sis Halle Bailey.
This mix-up happened when they ‘took’ a quote from an interview with former Little Mix singer, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and added it to Halle’s feature.
We do not know if this was just pure human error or deliberate but the quote read:
“Being a mum, being newly married – there’s the positive side of it, but also the negative. I want to show that although things might look perfect from the exterior, that’s not always the case,” she explained.
“Those are the moments that make me happy. When I’m with my family, I feel empowered, embraced and connected to my heritage.”
“As I enter this new chapter of my life, I feel like I can truly embrace being myself completely. Feminism, to me, means putting yourself first as a woman and not taking ‘no’ for an answer. I’m still learning how to do those things, but when I look at all the amazing women who inspire me, I think: “If they could do it, I can do it.”
Glamour Magazine seems to have incorrectly placed a quote from their interview with Leigh Anne on their interview with Halle Bailey, which implied that Halle was married to DDG and expecting their first child. pic.twitter.com/qHB2a7DcjE

Social media is reacting to the error, some calling the move unprofessional considering Halle and DDG are consistently trending because of rumors about her pregnancy and relationship.
The Glamour Magazine editor who used Leigh Anne’s quote from their interview with her for their interview with Halle Bailey should be fired for this because this is so unprofessional and unethical. I don’t understand how an editor can even make a mistake like this.

It’s a shame this happened because Halle just celebrated with Glamour after she received the Gen Z game-changer award.
According to PEOPLE after the ceremony on social media, the actress/singer shared how grateful she was to be recognized and how challenging it can be as a public figure.
The Grammy-nominated artist, who attended the event with her boyfriend DDG, spoke candidly about what she’s learned from being in the spotlight during her acceptance speech, as seen by footage shared on social media.
After Lashana Lynch presented her with the honor and Bailey thanked the “female souls” who paved the way for her to be there, she opened up about her own experience dealing with superstardom.
“I know that my personal journey, although filled with my own struggles and challenges, sometimes pales in comparison to a lot of what y’all have gone through,” the “Angel” singer said. “But I also know that with the spotlight comes a responsibility to speak about my experience in hopes that it can provide some guidance and inspiration to those girls and women who look to me standing under that spotlight.”
The Color Purple star continued, “It’s been an adjustment to live my life under the scrutiny of that spotlight, but in the age of social media in some way, we all live under that same scrutiny — from our bodies, what our bodies look like from what we wear to who we love to the things we care about, it’s all open to scrutiny.”
“So here’s my honest advice: Turn it off when you need to find inner peace, OK. But also, live your life for you,” the R&B hitmaker said. “Don’t waste time living it for social media. Everyone has an opinion, but the only opinion that matters is your own, and you already know deep down what’s right for you.”
omg you guys ?♥️what a beautiful night .. i’m so grateful that I was honored with the Glamour Woman of the Year Gen Z Game-Changer award ❣️✨this is such a special honor to me and feels oh so amazing to be recognized for the work that I have put in all the years of my career.… pic.twitter.com/IxjbsXKfa5
