Chappell Roan addresses inappropriate fan behavior, setting clear boundaries and emphasizing that women don’t owe anyone anything despite their public roles. The singer expresses her need for safety and respect.
Bollywood Fever: Chappell Roan, the rising star behind hits like “Good Luck, Babe!” and “Hot To Go!,” has taken to social media to address increasingly concerning behavior from certain individuals who claim to be her fans.
In a heartfelt and candid Instagram post on Friday, Roan laid down firm boundaries, urging people to respect her personal space and privacy.
“For the past 10 years I’ve been going non-stop to build my project, and it’s come to the point that I need to draw lines and set boundaries. I want to be an artist for a very, very long time,” Roan began.
She made it clear that while she loves music and her career, she does not accept harassment or inappropriate behavior as a consequence of her success.
Roan highlighted that this message was not aimed at all fans, but specifically at those exhibiting “predatory behavior” disguised as admiration.
She emphasized the importance of respecting her boundaries, both physical and social, and made it clear that women do not owe anyone a reason for declining unwanted interactions. “Women do not owe you a reason why they don’t want to be touched or talked to,” she stated.
The singer also addressed the growing normalization of such behavior, particularly towards women in the public eye, and expressed her desire to live her life without fear. “I just want to love my life, be outside, giggle with my friends, go to the movie theater, feel safe, and do all the things every single person deserves to do,” Roan shared.
In her post, Roan also requested that people stop being inappropriate with her family and friends, and not to make assumptions about her based on what they see online. “There is always more to the story. I am scared and tired,” she added, highlighting the toll this behavior has taken on her.
Roan concluded her message with a poignant reminder that while she feels immense love from her true supporters, she also feels more unsafe than ever before. “There is a part of myself that I save just for my project and all of you. There is a part of myself that is just for me, and I don’t want that taken away from me,” she wrote.
Roan has been vocal about her discomfort with the invasiveness that can accompany fame.
In a recent podcast with Drew Afualo, she spoke about feeling unsafe due to fans who have overstepped boundaries, including following her and knowing personal details about her family. “This is the time when a few years ago when I said that if [there were] stalker vibes or my family was in danger, I would quit. And we’re there. We’re there!” she revealed.
As Chappell Roan continues to navigate her rising fame, her message is a powerful reminder of the importance of respecting personal boundaries and the very real impact of invasive behavior on public figures.
