Chloe Bailey faces backlash for graphic ‘Swarm’ sex scene

Some fans are not too happy with actress Chlöe Bailey after her sex scene in the new Amazon Prime Video series “Swarm.”

Bailey, who plays the character Marissa Jackson in the psychological-horror show, has an intimate scene with actor Damson Idris, who plays her boyfriend Khalid, in the first few minutes of the first episode, according to the Daily Mail.

During the scene, Marissa’s sister comes to the door and watches what’s going on, when Khalid sees her, gives her a wink and continues to have sex with Marissa.

Online, many had concerns about the racy scene, especially coming off of the 24-year-old’s collaboration with Chris Brown last month. The pair recorded a song together called “How Does It Feel.”

The Post reached out to Bailey’s rep for comment.

“Where is a Chloe Bailey’s mentor pls???” one fan wrote on Twitter. “She’s been making terrible decisions lately, she should have never done that sex scene in Swarm and I’m not even gonna go into her most recent collab.”

Another agreed, writing, “Something about Chloe Bailey’s sex scene makes me so uncomfortable like i don’t wanna see her in that light.”

“The scene between Chloe Bailey and Damson Idris was very unnecessary. I don’t like sex scene that do not add to the story and I honestly hate how sex is depicted in Hollywood nowadays,” someone else admitted.

However, other viewers thought that the backlash about the scene was not justified.

“Why are some people acting 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 prestige drama made by an Emmy winner,” one Twitter user pointed out.

One user tweeted, “Chloe Bailey truly is the main girl rn. There’s no way a 20 second sex scene should ever cause this much commotion on the timeline. Actors been doing sex scenes for YEARSSSS but hers is the one that makes y’all wanna reevaluate the industry??? Chloe, you will always be famous.”

Some even brought Halle Berry into the conversation, as she had won an Oscar for her role in the 2002 movie “Monster’s Ball,” which also featured a sex scene. According to TMZ, fans were calling out colorism, as some feel like Berry wasn’t as heavily criticized for her sex scene as Bailey was, going so far as to say it’s because Berry is “white-passing.”

While speaking with Deadline at South by Southwest earlier this month, Bailey revealed that she was “very scared” to film the scene in the first place.

“As open and liberal as I am about my body, I was very scared because I haven’t had that many partners,” she explained.

She added that Idris made her feel very comfortable.

“I’m not like that — like that sexual and open,” she said. “Damson made it really comfortable. You know, there were limited people on set; it was a closed set.”

The actress also added that they had a bouncy ball in between them while filming the racy scene, which helped calm her nerves, and they were laughing in between takes.

“I have to give a lot of kudos to him as a man for making me, as a woman, feel comfortable literally being raw and naked,” she added.

“Swarm,” which was created by Donald Glover and Janine Nabers, is based on a rumor about a woman who allegedly committed suicide after listening to Beyoncé’s 2016 album “Lemonade,” according to Vulture.

The rumor has since been debunked, according to the outlet.

The show stars Dominique Fishback as Dre and also features Billie Eilish as Eva, Paris Jackson as Hailey and Byron Bowers as George Clemons.

“We did research for months to basically find events within a 2 1/2 year period that we could put our main character into,” Nabers told the Los Angeles Times last week. “So it’s really not a work of fiction. We’ve taken real internet rumors, real murders and combined them in the narrative of our main character, Dre. Not much of it is fabricated.”

In February, it was announced that Bailey will be starring in the film version of “Girl From the North Country,” a Bob Dylan-inspired musical that opened in London in 2017.
