What started as a positive post about her long braids created by Adorning Impact, quickly took a sour note when users began commenting on her body.
'Lose Some Weight,' Instagram user @ryee787 wrote about an hour after Bailey posted the snap.
Cynthia quickly commented back: '@tsmikehill ain't complaining.'

Another user, @molnar1234, wrote that the model seemed to have 'gained the covid15.'
Bailey took the comment in stride and reassured the online troll that she, in fact, gained more: 'actually the Covid-20.'

One follower wrote: 'WTF... so inappropriate!! Get a life.'
Instagram user mstiffiswinning came out to defend Bailey and wrote: '@ryee787 quit hating on another beautiful black woman. That was mean and bitter of your miserable self. She looks great.'
Bailey spoke with Us Weekly last month where she admitted to gaining weight while under quarantine due to the pandemic, but was re-focusing her efforts to shed a few of the pounds before her wedding.
'I actually gained 20 pounds from the quarantine and my wedding dress designers were not happy about that because now I can’t fit my dress,' she said.
Cynthia and Mike, 50, have been engaged for a year and are set to become husband and wife later this year.
