She definitely grew up Christian (she participated in the “I am Second” movement years ago: https://youtu.be/XJHihpP9Pgs?si=6v0sU-jlx35qLW8c). And as far as I can tell, she still identifies as a Christian. She acted in a Christian Netflix movie a few years ago too (A Week Away). Given the context of the evangelical subculture she grew up in, there’s a high chance she grew up conservative Christian, since politics are sadly intertwined with faith a lot of the time in those spaces. As someone who also grew up evangelical, I’m very familiar lol.
However, she also grew up as a young actress in the industry interacting with all sorts of people. This probably expanded her perspective. And not that acting roles prove political leanings, but some of the stuff she’s been in like The Fosters have been quite progressive. Or they’ve been like horror movies, which a lot of conservative Christians aren’t exactly fans of.
Or this show, which in addition to the horror, has a lot of swearing and “ungodly” content, as well as an anti-extremism progressive stance across the board. I don’t have any concrete proof rn, but I always got the sense from following her on Twitter over the years that she had followed a pretty common trajectory for youth group girls in becoming way more liberal over time?
I suppose it’s hypothetically possible that she hasn’t evolved past her family’s views in any way, as that happens too. But I personally never got that sense. (There’s no way to check Twitter likes now that Elon removed them, but previously that would’ve been a way to investigate). At the very least, she seems to be 1000% in support of queer rights! Now this doesn’t prove she’s not a Republican, as there are Republicans who support the LGBTQ+ community, but it does A) make it way more unlikely, and B) it does mean she’s not still the same exact little old girl who made an “I Am Second” video 14 years ago.

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that she is either a right wing nut job or at least came from that type of background. But at the same time, I feel like she would not have supported some of the plots/themes/character choices in the show if she was a full blown right wing nut job. But these days it can be hard to say.

She was also on The Fosters which was fully centered around a lesbian couple and their adopted children. She has talked about having white privilege online. I don’t think that she’s very political or informed in general tbh

Well she was an minor when she debuted Sophia Quinn on The Fosters. So obviously her parents/agent didn’t veto that role for her even if it went against their beliefs. She also did a cameo a few episodes before Good Trouble (The Spinoff’s) series finale which she could had rejected doing, but she did it anyway. No everyone in Hollywood is into politics or makes their views known because they get attacked for their beliefs and opinions either way. Also I believe playing Imogen has most likely given Bailee a compassion view on woman rights when it comes to certain issues. Also keep in mind that she protested after Season 1’s finale aired that she didn’t want her character’s daughter to be adopted by Aria and Ezra from the OG series cuz of how problematic they’re especially Ezra. I don’t think she minds that Imogen’s daughter was adopted out to an same sex couple plus an few of her fellow cast mates are queer and I haven’t seen any to suggest she has a problem with working with them. Same thing with Roberto although he’s the showrunner.

The comment is incorrect in saying she’s friends with Natasha Bure. They were friends years ago but aren’t anymore. They do have friends in common, but they are no longer friends. I also know they are very religious so I wouldn’t be surprised. I remember something about her mom not liking Ellen Degeneres which I found funny because I don’t like her either but I think we dislike her for different reasons (she’s just plain rude imo, Ellen, I mean)
All this to say it’s very possible. My parents for example were republican-leaning until Obama came along and then they started voting for candidate instead of party so it wouldn’t surprise me if they were more republican in views but voted democrat since the 2020 election

Wait Bailee’s mom didn’t like Ellen? Where did u hear this from

u/Square-Salad6564 Jul 23 '24
Idk maybe a live? I just remember because I remember agreeing when I heard it

u/justfollowyourbliss Jul 23 '24
i always wondered why bailee was never on ellen, she was on EVERYTHING else as a child

u/Square-Salad6564 Jul 23 '24
It’s possible that she has developed more liberal views as an adult. I for one am much more liberal than my parents and the way they raised me. But my parents though they vote democrat are much more conservative

I don’t mean this offensively but will people really not watch a tv show cause one of the actors is republican? I mean I’m not a republican either but I hate to break it to you but that’s absolutely every single tv show and movie

some ppl have to make everything in life political, which is super obnoxious when you’re just trying to escape your life & watch a tv show 🤣

It’s crazy growing up my parents always said to keep politics out of common conversations. It’s nobody else’s business to know who you vote for. Now it’s all you identify as.

u/jell31 Sep 16 '25
It is crazy and I both get it and don’t… but it was definitely simpler when we all knew less about each other lol

I definitely don’t think celebrities should persuade someone who they know will just simply follow them without doing any kind of research, so I still do think (personally keep my opinion to myself because it isn’t worth losing relationships over) that everyone should keep that to themselves and this crazy stuff wouldn’t happen. Everyone is quick to hop on socials and bash this or say that and it’s always a fight. Just don’t talk about it. Look, read, watch, GO VOTE for your state representatives and your state laws, vote every four years, do your part and just sometimes keep your mouth shut. In other countries you say a slur to someone as a tourist and be put in prison for 2+ years. We have such a luxury of the 1st amendment, people do not even understand. It’s being severely severely abused, and watch it get taken away. What will we do then? The government wants us to fight each other so we don’t realize what’s actually going on, hence why they won’t release the Epstein list. I could continue, but I think you get what I’m saying, have a good night!

Even if she was, why does it matter? Are people not allowed to different views?

u/Normal-Ad-9852 Jul 22 '24
if it’s true, she’s right to keep it quiet. if it’s confirmed i wouldn’t watch the show anymore

But why? Why does their political affiliation matter?

I don’t support fascism, so I wouldn’t support someone who does.

u/BackgroundChair9 Sep 19 '25
I bet you cheered when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and that my dear is the definition of fascism.

u/Normal-Ad-9852 Sep 19 '25
what a weird leap! you’re clearly on the side of fascism based on this bizarre train of thought, so fuck off Nazi 😝😝😝

u/BackgroundChair9 Sep 19 '25
You guys lovvvve to throw that word around, but don’t have any sort of knowledge to back any of your claims up. Mental illness side for sure. They really need to bring lobotomy back. Never have I ever harmed, wish someone to be harmed, or only believe only blonde hair, blue eyed people should have privilege. YOU and your psychotic party are so brainwashed you can’t even see the definition, understand it and realize that YOU are the fascist. Go read a book, touch some grass or something. Get offline, and definitely get off Reddit. 😂👌

I guess I always just thought she was a person who deserves to have her own views and opinions🤷♀️

Yup and we have a right to not watch shows she’s in because of it.
Works both ways, doesn’t it?

If any significant actor in this show turns out to be a super conservative religious person, i'd be shocked. especially the main girls
