Chappell Roan ‘Allowed to Say No to Creepy Behavior’ After Harassment

Chappell Roan is making it clear: harassment and stalking will never be OK with her, regardless of how famous she gets. On Monday, the “Good Luck, Babe” musician shared a pair of videos on TikTok slamming “harassment” and stalking she’s seemingly faced from some fans.

“I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little famous, whatever,” she said. “I don’t care that it’s normal. I don’t care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the job, or 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.”

“I don’t want whatever the fuck you think you’re supposed to be entitled to. Whenever you see a celebrity, fuck if you think it’s selfish for me to say no for a photo or for your time, or for a hug,” Roan continued. “That’s not normal. That’s weird. 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 fucking weird. I’m allowed to say no to creepy behavior.”

It’s unclear what exactly Roan was referring to in her videos and she encouraged fans to “not assume this is directed at someone or a specific encounter.” However, fans of Roan have had some discussions online around the behavior of an administrator of a fan update account.

On Monday, Roan first shared a video with hypothetical questions to describe a situation where a fan seemingly yelled at her from a car window and harassed her after she declined to take a photo with them.

“Would you stalk her family? Would you follow her around? Would you try to dissect her life and bully her online?” she asked. “This is a lady you don’t know and she doesn’t know you at all. Would you assume that she’s a good person? Assume she’s a bad person? Would you assume everything you read about her online is true?”

“I’m a random bitch. You’re a random bitch. Just think about that for a second, OK?” she added.

Roan’s comments come about a month after she spoke to Drew Afualo about how she “pumped the brakes” after some fans were giving “stalker vibes.” At the time, the singer said people had begun behaving like “freaks,” adding they “follow me and know where my parents live, and where my sister works. All this weird shit.”

“If [I felt] stalker vibes [or] like [if my] family was in danger is when I would quit,” Roan said. “And we’re there, we’re there. So, I’m just kind of in this battle, I’ve like pumped the brakes on honestly anything to make me more known. It’s kind of a forest fire right now … I’m not trying to go do a bunch of shit.”

Roan has been on a rapid career incline since the release of her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess in 2023. She also has been vocal about struggling with her sudden fame. “I feel a little off today, because I think my career is going really fast and it’s hard to keep up,” she said onstage during a show in June.
