Chappell Roan has called out "abuse and harassment" from "entitled" fans
The 26-year-old singer - whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz - has blasted fans for a certain "type of behaviour" towards celebrities and insisted it shouldn't be accepted by those living in the public eye
22 August 2024
In a series of videos on TikTok, she said: "I don't care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous.
"I don't care that this crazy type of behaviour comes along with the job, the career field I've chosen.
"That does not make it OK. That doesn't make it normal. That doesn't mean I want it. That doesn't mean that I like it."
The 'Good Look, Babe!' pop star insisted it's "weird" for fans to assume they "know a person" simply because they consume their art.
She continued: "I don't want whatever the f*** you think you're supposed to be entitled to whenever you see a celebrity.
"I don't give a f*** if you think it's selfish for me to say no for a photo or for your time, or for a hug.
"It's weird how people think that you know a person just because you see them online and you listen to the art they make. That's f****** weird. I'm allowed to say no to creepy behaviour."
She pointed out how fans behaving in the same way towards a "random lady" in the street would rightly be frowned up.
She added: "If you saw a random woman on the street, would you yell at her from the car window? Would you harass her in public?
Would you go up to a random lady and say, 'Can I get a photo with you?' and she's like, 'No, what the f***.' And then you get mad at this random lady.
"Would you stalk her family? Would you follow her around? Would you try to dissect her life and bully her online? This is a lady you don't know, and she doesn't know you at all."
