Part 5/9:

The reactions to ET’s post underline the cultural divide. Some viewers found amusement in the meme, joking about Bailey's appearance, captioning her images with humorous or sarcastic remarks. Others, particularly Disney fans and supporters of Bailey, accused ET and its affiliates of trying to embarrass or undermine her. Comments flooded in demanding the deletion of certain images, with critics questioning who was responsible for the decision to publish such content.

Many fans expressed sympathy for Bailey, viewing the meme storm as an unfair attack on her appearance and talent. The situation underscores how social media's fast-paced, meme-driven culture can transform promotional material into fodder for ridicule, often disproportionately targeting actresses of color in prominent roles.
