Chappell Roan savagely calls former teacher a ‘bitch’ onstage after backlash…..
Pop singer Chappell Roan has some harsh words for obsessive fans as she continues her rapid ascent to superstardom. “I don’t want whatever the f–k you think you’re supposed to be entitled to whenever you see a celebrity. I don’t give an f–k if you think it’s selfish of me to say no for a photo, or for your time, or for a hug,” the American singer said in a TikTok video Tuesday. “That’s not normal; it’s weird. It’s weird how people think that you know a person just ’cause you see them online or you listen to the art they make…. I’m allowed to say no to creepy behaviour, OK?”
In another Tiktok posted the same day, the Good Luck, Babe singer asked viewers whether they would approach a random person in public the way they approach celebrities. “Would you stalk her family? Would you follow her around? Would you try to dissect her life and bully her online?” Roan disabled comments on the videos, which have around 12 million views each.
Jenna Drenten, a marketing professor who studies digital consumer culture at Loyola University Chicago, says it was powerful for Roan to speak out in a video without her signature stage makeup, at this point in her career, about the way fans treat her. “I can’t remember a time where a celebrity at the height of their career, with such a following, has come out so boldly in admonishment of the sort of parasitic relationship that fans expect to have with celebrities,” she said. Roan offered some details last month about fans acting like “freaks,” telling The Comment Section podcast that she “pumped the brakes” on what she shares in public.
