Bailey also addressed the backlash, saying, “And to this day with all the comments and people’s opinions, it just reminds me to be number one: grounded, and grateful that I have this opportunity.”
She continued, “And the fact that it sparked such a discussion for all of us … I mean, I know what it meant to me as a little girl to be able to see Black Ariel.
“When I was younger, if I saw it, it would change my whole outlook on life so the fact that I kind of did that was really amazing and unbelievable to me and the little girl in me. was screaming and scared,” Bailey concluded.
