Chappell Roan has spoken out again about the “creepy behavior” he has faced in person and online as his popularity has grown.
On Monday, the 26-year-old singer posted two videos on TikTok addressing the behavior of fans who have interacted with her in public.
“Answer my questions for a second. If you saw a random woman on the street, would you yell at her from the car window?” the “Hot To Go” singer asked in the first video. “Would you harass her in public? Would you walk up to a random woman and say, ‘Can I take a picture of you?’ and she’s like, ‘No, what the fuck?’ and you get mad at that random woman?”
Roan continued with more rhetorical questions.
“Would you try to dissect her life and stalk her online?” the “Pink Pony Club” singer continued. “This is some random woman that you don’t know, she doesn’t know you at all. Would you assume that everything you read about her online is true? I’m some random b***h, you’re some random b***h. Just think about it for a second, okay?”
Roan posted a second video the same day, claiming that she doesn’t care that “abuse” and “harassment” are considered “normal” for famous people.
“I don’t care that this kind of crazy behavior comes hand in hand with the job, the career field that I’ve chosen,” the “Good Luck Babe” singer said. “That doesn’t make it acceptable. That doesn’t make it normal. It doesn’t mean I want it, it doesn’t mean I like it.”
Roan had expressed his discomfort on an episode of “The Comment Section With Drew Afualo” in July, when he talked about how he missed his life before his rise to stardom. He also spoke about the attention being showered on his family.
“People are starting to act like weirdos, following me, knowing where my parents live and where my sister works, all that weird stuff,” he said. “A few years ago I said yes [it got to] Stalker vibes, like the family is in danger. [that] That's when I would give up. And here we are. … I have honestly stopped everything that has made me known.”
