Chappell Roan is drawing attention to the attention she has received since becoming famous.
On Monday, Aug. 19, the singer-songwriter shared two clips on TikTok explaining her decision to sometimes turn down photo shoots and spend time with fans who might think they’re “entitled” to certain things because of her celebrity status.
“I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing for people who are famous or not famous,” Roan (real name Kayleigh Amstutz), 26, said in one video.
“I don’t care that it’s normal. I don’t care that this crazy behavior comes with the job, [or] the career field I chose. That doesn’t make it OK. That doesn’t make him normal. That doesn’t mean I want it. It doesn’t mean I like it,” she insisted.

The “Pink Pony Club” singer continued, “I don’t want anything you think you should be entitled to whenever you see a celebrity. It hurts my dick— if you think it’s selfish of me to say no to a photo or your time, or for a hug.”
“It’s not normal. That’s strange. It’s funny how people think you know a person just because you see them online and listen to the art they create. That’s fucking weird. I can say no to creepy behavior,” she concluded.
Roan captioned the video: “Don’t assume this is directed at anyone or a specific encounter. This is just my side of the story and my feelings.”
Her post came after the musician shared another video asking fans more questions. “If you saw a random woman on the street, would you yell at her from the car window? Would you harass her in public?” she said to the camera.
Roan continued: “Would you walk up to a random lady and say ‘Can I take a picture with you?’ And she’s like ‘No, what the fuck?’ And then you get mad at this random lady, would you be offended if she says no to your time because she has her time?”

“Would you stalk her family? Would you follow her around? Would you try to dissect her life and harass her online?” she added. “This is a lady you don’t know and she doesn’t know you at all. Would you assume she’s a good person? Assume she’s a bad person? Would you assume everything you read about her on the internet is true?”
It concluded “Good luck, baby!” singer, “I’m a random bitch. You’re a random bitch. Just think about it, okay?”
Roan’s videos come after she discussed some of the things she missed about her life before fame during a July appearance on Comment Section with Drew Afualo.
“People started to be freaks,” she also said in the chat. “They follow me and know where my parents and sister live, where my sister works, all that weird s—.”
“A few years ago I said if [there was] stalker vibes, as if the family is in danger, [that’s] if I quit my job. We’re here,” Roan insisted.
