Chloe Bailey has come under fire for her graphic sex scene in the new drama, Swarm, just a month after her collaboration with convicted abuser Chris Brown drew backlash.
The 24-year-old singer surprised fans when her character Marissa engaged in an amazing sex scene with Damson Idris (who plays Marissa’s boyfriend Khalid) in the opening minutes of the first episode.
In the scene, Marissa’s sister, Dre (Dominique Fishback), watches the couple from the doorway before Khalid spots her, winks at her, and continues to have sex with Marissa.
Fans quickly took to social media to scold Beyonce’s protégé for “making terrible decisions” and potentially damaging her career with the racy scene.
One follower wrote: ‘Where is Chloe Bailey’s mentor please? She’s been making some terrible decisions lately, she should never have done that sex scene in Swarm and I’m not even going to get into her most recent collaboration with Chris Brown.
Oh darling; Chloe Bailey has come under fire for her graphic sex scene in the new drama, Swarm, just a month after her collaboration with convicted abuser Chris Brown sparked backlash (pictured last week).
The star plays Marissa on the show alongside on-screen sister Dominque Fishback, who plays Dre.
Another wrote: ‘I get it, it’s acting, but it’s unnecessary acting. Beyonce mentors her and has NEVER done a scene like this. The scene wasn’t even relevant. These new movies and shows are really doing too much for no good reason.”
One fan wrote: “Swarm is insane and that random sex scene with Chloe Bailey was so pointless.”
Another reference to Halle Berry’s sex scene in Monster’s Ball, the Oscar winner wrote: “Chloe Bailey pulled off a Halle Berry for Swarm with zero f**ks given that I’m not even mad at her!”
Others came to Chloe’s defense, writing: ‘Why do some people act like Chloe Bailey, aka someone who literally has Beyoncé as a mentor, would now be suffering in her career for doing a 10 second sex scene in a drama? prestigious made by an Emmy? winner.
Another wrote: “Series swarms, there’s a sex scene with Chloe Bailey and they’ve been shaming her for it.”
Swarm is comedian and rapper Donald Glover’s first TV series with Amazon Studios and centers on Dre (Fishback), a young woman whose obsession with her favorite singer turns deadly.

This comes after Bailey arrived. under fire for his choice to record a song, titled How Does It Feel, with Chris Brown.
The outrage came on the heels of announcing the song as the second single from his upcoming debut album, In Pieces.

One Twitter user wrote on the short form blogging platform: “Chloe Bailey’s management has no idea who her target audience is and that’s why they make such bad decisions and have her all over the place.”
“Chloe Bailey doing a song with Chris Brown in 2023, it’s like she’s afraid of success,” wrote another.
A third shot: ‘Chloe Bailey makes it so hard to defend her girl WHY are you making music with an abuser?’
