Chrisette Michele is facing questions online after an emotional Instagram post about her career and a miscarriage.
In the post, the singer shared that she had been dropped from her label and spoke about the personal pain she had been dealing with. She also shared a text graphic that read, “I had a miscarriage.” In the caption she wrote, “You don’t have to be a celebrity to fail, to fight, to struggle. Pain is universal.” She added that she went to the gym and trained hard to try to push past the pain she was feeling.
The post also included a photo that some followers said looked like it did not belong to her. According to fans on social media, the image appeared to match one posted in 2014 by another woman on the BabyCenter community forum. In that forum post, the woman described her own experience and asked other users whether it could have been a miscarriage.
Michele did not say the photo was her own, but fans questioned why it was used. Her post was widely shared and the reaction online was mixed, with some followers showing support for her and others questioning the photo.
As of this report, Michele had not publicly responded to the accusation that the photo came from someone else. Baller Alert will update readers if she does.
What do you think? Should she explain the photo?
