**Chantelle Barry** (born 18 March 1980) is an Australian musician and actress from Perth, best known for being in the original line-up of girl group Bardot. She left the group suddenly, only weeks after the group was formed on the first series of the Australian version of *Popstars*.

## Career

### Music

Barry was asked to resign from the girl group Bardot after stealing money from Sophie Monk, but the reason for her departure was not revealed at the time. She first confirmed the circumstances around her departure in a 2006 appearance on the TV show *Where Are They Now?*, where she stated that she had accidentally kept Monk's weekly money allowance with the intention of giving it back to her, but forgot to do so and was therefore removed from the group. In a 2017 *Woman’s Day* interview, Barry stated she was paid $1000 to leave the group and to stay silent on the matter at the time, leading to the widespread speculation over her firing, and blamed it on her youth and naivety. She was replaced by Tiffani Wood in the final line-up.

After leaving Australia, Barry placed third in the Song of the Year songwriting contest, and reached the quarter-finals in the Music Nation online music competition.

In August 2009, she officially launched her debut solo album *Simple Things* in the U.S., followed by albums *Songbird* in 2012, and more recently, *Lovers Gonna Love* in 2018.

Barry has also worked as a voice actor. In 2016, she played Ava Thorne in the Oculus Rift video game *Edge of Nowhere*, and is credited as the voice of the "Narrator" in an episode of the 2018 Netflix series *Disjointed*.
