“I don’t care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the job, the career field I’ve chosen,” Roan added. “That does not make it OK, that doesn’t make it normal. That doesn’t mean that I want it, that doesn’t mean that I like it.”
Chappell Roan is not having any of the BS her massive new fanbase is giving her or her family! Her new single “Good Luck, Babe!” is not on the album, but it’s been met with tons of critical acclaim. It currently sits at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100.

@chappellroan Do not assume this is directed at someone or a specific encounter. This is just my side of the story and my feelings.
Ah yes… Another “brilliant, talented, world-famous” somebody or other flash-in-the-pan being beatified on OMG. I’m surprised you forgot to use your favorite word, “iconic”.
I’m not saying fan behaviour is ok, but has she noticed they aren’t asking for permission?? Whether or not she’s “having it” is irrelevant. Get over it.
On the one hand, I appreciate that she’s pushing back against the utter lack of privacy we’ve normalized around artists. On the other, the fact that she’s openly struggling so early in her career with the fame aspect and so vocally jaded by the industry makes me wonder how much longer she’ll be doing this.
