Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Halle Bailey has officially confirmed the birth of her first son when she had not done so at all. In fact, there was no official confirmation from any source until a few days later when Pop Base posted a photo on Twitter and Instagram of Halo's tiny hand alongside his parents. Secondly, the author claims that internet sleuths have speculated that Bailey was hiding her pregnancy since August 2023 based on DDG's Instagram Live video showing a visibly pregnant woman walking around in the background. However, this is not true as there were no reports or rumors about Bailey being pregnant at all until October when she started wearing oversized clothing and dresses with high waistlines. Finally, the author claims that Bailey had notably fewer public appearances despite coming off the success of her live-action Little Mermaid reboot and her role in Blitz Bazawule's The Color Purple (2023). However, this is not true as she continued to appear in various events and projects throughout 2023. Therefore, the score for deception is 50 out of 100.
The author claims that Halle Bailey has officially confirmed the birth of her first son when there was no official confirmation from any source until a few days later.
