Chappell Roan Called Out ‘Entitled’ and ‘Creepy’ Fans
At the start of her growing popularity, Chappell Roan got candid about her disdain for parasocial relationships.
“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,” she said in an August 2024 TikTok video. “I don’t care that it’s normal. I don’t care that this crazy type of behavior 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. Doesn’t mean that I like it. I don’t. Whatever the f**k you think you’re supposed to be entitled to whenever you see a celebrity. … I’m allowed to say no to creepy behavior.”
Chappell Roan Abruptly Dropped Out of Music Festival
Chappell Roan announced that she was dropping out of the All Things Go music festivals in New York City and Washington, D.C. at the last minute due to mental health issues.
“I apologize to people who have been waiting to see me in NYC & DC this weekend at All Things Go, but I am unable to perform,” Roan shared via social media one day before the event was set to take place in September 2024. “Things have gotten overwhelming over the past few weeks and I am really feeling it. I feel pressured to prioritize a lot of things right now, and I need a few days to prioritize my health. I want to be present when I perform and give the best shows possible. Thank you for understanding.”
Chappell Roan’s VMAs Red Carpet Altercation With Photographer
While walking the red carpet during the 2024 VMAs, Chappel Roan had a tense interaction with a photographer. In a clip shared via social media at the time, Roan clapped back after being told to “shut the f**k up.” The “Pink Pony Club” singer pointed at the photographer and responded, “You shut the f**k up. Don’t! Not me, bitch.”
Roan later addressed the incident in a September 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight.
“It’s quite overwhelming and quite scary. … And I need to — I yelled back. I yelled back! You don’t get to yell at me like that!” she said.
Chappell Roan’s 2024 Election Endorsement Drama
Ahead of the 2024 election, Chappell Roan posted a video on her social media explaining why she did not want to endorse any candidate. (Then-Republican candidate Donald Trump was initially running against President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, as the Democratic nominee.)
“I have so many issues with our government in every way. There are so many things that I would want to change. So I don’t feel pressured to endorse someone,” Roan said in a September 2024 video. “There’s problems on both sides. I encourage people to use your critical thinking skills, use your vote — vote small, vote for what’s going on in your city.”
After posting the video, Roan received backlash for her message, with many slamming the singer for not sharing where she stood politically. Roan later addressed the controversy in a follow-up video.
“Endorsing and voting are completely different,” she said in a second clip. “I don’t agree with a lot of what is going on with policies — obviously, f**k the policies of the right, but also f**k some of the policies on the left. That’s why I can’t endorse. That’s why I can’t put my entire name in my entire project behind one.”
Roan also shared who she planned to vote for Harris, but stood by her previous statement that an endorsement does not matter.
“If someone is publicly endorsing a political figure, that doesn’t even mean that they’re gonna f**king vote for them,” she shared. “As I said in my other video, actions speak louder than words … This is not me playing both sides. This is me questioning both sides because this is what we have in front of us.”
Roan continued, “Voting is all we have right now in the system, and so I encourage it yet again: Vote for who in your mind is the best option for what we have because it’s all we can do. And I hope this makes it clear that, no, I’m not picking the sides of what we have right now. Yes, one’s obviously better than the other, but Jesus f**king Christ, I hope you don’t settle for what we have. And put your name behind someone that you don’t fully, fully trust because of their blatant actions.”
Chappell Roan Defends Her Risque 2026 Grammys Look
Chappell Roan arrived at the 2026 Grammys nearly topless, wearing prosthetic nipples that held up a sheer maroon gown and matching cape. Roan’s barely-there garment made headlines and received backlash online. The pop star later defended the look.
“Giggling because I don’t even think this is THAT outrageous of an outfit,” she wrote via Instagram in February 2026. “The look’s actually so awesome and weird. I recommend just exercising your free will it’s really fun and silly :D. Thank you for having me @grammys and those who voted for me!!”
Chappell Roan’s Drama in Brazil With Jorginho’s Stepdaughter
Chappell Roan was in Brazil to perform at the country’s Lollapalooza festival in March 2026. During the event, soccer star Jorginho, who is married to Jude Law’s ex Cat Cavelli, publicly called out the singer for allegedly accusing his 11-year-old stepdaughter, Ada Law, of harassment.
“This morning, my daughter woke up incredibly excited. She even made a sign because she was so happy to see an artist she really admires, or used to admire,” he wrote in a lengthy Instagram story statement and tagged Roan in the post. “By coincidence, they’re staying at the same hotel as this artist. During breakfast, the artist walked past their table. My daughter, like any child, recognized her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her.”
Jorginho continued, “And the worst part is she didn’t even approach her. She simply walked past the singer’s table, looked to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum. She didn’t say anything, didn’t ask for anything.”
The athlete claimed that a “large security guard” then allegedly approached Cavelli and Ada’s table and “began speaking in an extremely aggressive manner to both my wife and my daughter, saying that she shouldn’t allow my daughter to ‘disrespect’ or ‘harass’ other people.”
Jorginho alleged that the security guard threatened to “file a complaint against them with the hotel” while Ada “was sitting there in tears” and “extremely shaken.”
“I’ve lived with football, public exposure, and well-known people for many years, and I understand very well what respect and boundaries are. What happened there was not that. It was just a child admiring someone,” he claimed. “It’s sad to see this kind of treatment coming from those who should understand the importance of fans. At the end of the day, they are the ones who build all of this. I sincerely hope this serves as a moment of reflection. No one should have to go through this, especially not a child.”
Jorginho also had a message for Roan’s fans, writing. “WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING. AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION.”
After Jorginho’s post made headlines, Roan addressed the incident, claiming that her personal security team was not involved.
“I’m just gonna tell my half of the story of what happened today with a mother and child, who were involved with a security guard who is not my personal security,” Roan said in a video shared via her Instagram Story. “I didn’t even see a woman and a child, like, no one came up to me. No one bothered me. I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel. I think these people were staying at the hotel, as well.”
Roan denied that she asked the security person to “go up and talk” to the family.
“I did not, [and] they did not come up to me. They weren’t doing anything,” Roan said. “It’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe because there’s no action even taken, like, that’s so not what I stand behind.”
Roan also shared her sympathies for Cavelli and Ada.
“I do not hate people who are fans of my music. I do not hate children, like, that is crazy. I’m sorry to that mother and child that someone was assuming something that you would do something and that if you felt uncomfortable, that makes me really sad,” she continued. “You did not deserve that.”
Following Roan’s response, Cavelli recalled the incident from her perspective and claimed the security person who spoke to her did not work at the hotel.
“So, 100 percent this security guard was not a security guard of the hotel — that is what I can say. He looks after artists, so I don’t know if it was her personal security guard but he was with her,” Cavelli said via social media. “That is all I know. Did she send him to do it? Again, I don’t know. Look, I would like to hope not but at the same time, I think that you have a responsibility when you are a celebrity to make sure, I guess, that the people who work with you and act on your behalf are acting on your behalf.”
Cavelli also explained that she and Ada were enjoying breakfast at their hotel and they noticed someone who looked similar to Roan. Cavelli claimed her daughter “didn’t approach” Roan but went to see if the woman they spotted was the pop star.
“She didn’t have her phone, she didn’t try to take a picture, she didn’t approach her,” Cavelli said. “She literally didn’t do anything. She just looked at her.”
Cavelli alleged that a security guard then approached them with a “very aggressive tone.”
“For me, I feel like it really overstepped a boundary, because he is quite an intimidating … he is very large,” she continued. “So for him to come over to a table with just a woman and her daughter eating breakfast to kind of berate and scold us and say that he was going to complain and tell me that I should be teaching my daughter to be better, and that she’s badly educated, and we should respect people’s privacy, and we should not harass people, and all of these other things.”
Cavelli claimed she tried to explain to the security person that her daughter was “very excited” to see an artist that she “admires” while noting that her husband is “very well known” and her daughter “knows the limits” around public figures.
“I tried to explain this to him, and then he just kept saying, ‘Well, if that’s the case, you should know better. You should know how it is. You should know how it is. So you should teach her to be better. You shouldn’t allow her to be like this,’ I was shocked,” she recalled. “I did actually say to him at the time, I said, ‘Well, if this the case that she doesn’t even want people to look at her, she is very welcome to eat breakfast in her room, because this here is a public area, and I am a paying guest as well as her. So if I want to walk past someone’s table and look at them, I have every right to do so. I am not approaching her. I’m not doing anything to make her feel intimidated or nothing.’”
