All this outrage drowning out the real issue here - there's and actress called Halle Bailey? That sounds way too close to Halle Berry?? Did the Hollywood PR guys not focus test this??? It's confusing????
If you sound out her name in Chinese, Google assumes you mean Halle Berry. Appparently the chosen convention is to spell and pronounce Bailey's first name as "hayley" or "hǎili" which is just not the pronunciation, it should be identical to the pronunciation of Halle Berry's first name, but it isn't.

Seriously this poor young actor is getting no credit because I saw two separate articles saying it was Halle Berry.
I … May have just assumed it was Halle berry until this comment :side-eye-2:
lmao same, I was thinking she was way too old to play Ariel who is supposed to be a teenager
I thought that too but they do have Ryan Reynolds doing ken in that Barbie film so I thought maybe haha
I disagree.
I think the real outrage is - how come she doesn't drown when she's singing underwater?
:bean-think:

Wait, I just realized it’s not actually Halle Berry in the movie.
