As a dedicated fan who has followed Chappell Roan‘s journey since her debut, I wholeheartedly support her recent plea for respect and boundaries. It’s heartbreaking to see someone so talented and vibrant feeling unsafe due to the actions of a few misguided individuals.
As a devoted admirer of Chappell Roan, I’m compelled to speak up about the troubling actions I’ve witnessed from individuals who label themselves as her fans.
The singer known for “Good Luck, Babe!” recently rose to stardom over the past year, used Instagram on Friday to post a lengthy message asking others to cease physical contact, to stop acting strange towards her loved ones, and to desist from making assumptions about her.
“Over the last decade, I’ve been tirelessly working on my project without a moment’s rest. Now, it’s time to establish some boundaries and make some rules for myself. I aim to continue my journey as an artist for a lifetime.
She added, “Whenever I’m on stage, performing, in drag, attending work events, or doing press, I am working. In any other situations, I am not in work mode; I’ve clocked out. I don’t think it’s fair that I should have to reciprocate energy, time, or attention to people I don’t know, don’t trust, or find uncomfortable, simply because they admire me. Women do not owe anyone an explanation for why they don’t want to be touched or spoken to.”
The artist behind “Hot To Go!” made it clear that the content of this message is unrelated to those who honor my personal space, as well as the appreciation and affection I hold for my fanbase.
Roan emphasized a point regarding deceptive actions often masked as ‘superfan’ behavior, which has unfortunately become commonplace due to how women in the limelight have historically been treated. He urges people not to make hasty assumptions about someone’s personal life, character, or boundaries simply because they are familiar with them or their online presence.
If you’re wondering, “But if you didn’t want this kind of outcome, why did you pick a profession where you knew the success could make you uneasy?”, let me clarify: I welcome the project’s triumph, the affection it stirs, and the gratitude it brings. What I can’t tolerate are uncomfortable advances, being physically touched, and being stalked. She made this clear by adding these points.
The artist from “Pink Pony Club” went on to express her desire for a simple life filled with joy, spending time outdoors, laughter with friends, visiting cinemas, and experiencing a sense of safety, just like everyone else, without the fear of danger.
As a compassionate observer, it is heartbreaking to read about the turmoil this individual is experiencing. She feels scared and unsafe, yet at the same time, she expresses feelings of immense love that she has never felt before. It seems like her boundaries are being violated, whether it be through unwanted touch or inappropriate behavior towards her loved ones. The assumption-making about her is causing distress, as there’s always more to a story than what meets the eye.
Previously, Roan expressed a desire to slow down her rise to fame as she felt endangered by certain fans’ inappropriate behavior towards her during the past few months.
The singer expressed concerns on a recent podcast with Drew Afualo, stating that people are becoming intrusive – they track me, know my parents’ location, and where my sister works. This unusual behavior has them feeling uneasy, he said. A few years back, the singer mentioned that if there were signs of stalking or family safety was at risk, they would leave the industry. Now, it seems that moment has arrived.
