Chappell Roan is speaking out about fan behavior online. The “Hot to Go” singer made two TikToks to vocalize her concerns about fans stalking her family and having personal boundaries as an artist.
“I need you to answer questions; just answer my questions for a second,” Roan says in a TikTok video posted on “If you saw a random woman on the street, would you yell at her from your car window? Would you harass her in public? Would you go up to a random lady and say, ‘Can I get a photo with you?’ and she’s like, ‘No, what the f*ck?’ and then you get mad at this random lady? Would you be offended if she says no to your time because she has her own time?”
She went on to say, “Would you stalk her family? Would you follow her around? Would you try to dissect her life and bully her online? 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 online about her is true? I’m a random b*tch, you’re a random b*tch. Just think about that for a second, OK?”

Chappell Roan continued her rant in another TikTok, “I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous, or a little famous,” 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, the career field I’ve chosen. That does not make it OK.”
“I don’t want whatever the f*ck you think you’re supposed to be entitled to whenever you see a celebrity: she said. “I don’t give a f*ck if you think it’s selfish of me to say no for a photo or for your time, or a hug. 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 f*cking weird. I’m allowed to say no to creepy behavior, OK?”
Roan has experienced quite the rise to stardom this year. She opened for Olivia Rodrigo during her Guts tour and Coachella. “Good Luck Babe” peaked at 6 on the Billboard 100 charts. She’s been upgraded to stages at GovBall and broke an attendee record at Lollapalooza during her daytime set. Her debut album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” sits behind Taylor Swift at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
This isn’t the first time that Chappell Roan decided to call out fan behavior. In an interview with Drew Afulo, she confessed that she would stop making music if her fans gave her “stalker vibes,” and if her family was in danger. “People have started to be freaks — like, [they] follow me and know where my parents live, and where my sister works,” she said of intrusive fans. “All this weird s–t.” She continued, “I’m just kind of in this battle … I’ve 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 s–t.”
What happened to Chappell Roan’s stalker?
Chappell wrote in the caption of her TikToks, “Do not assume this is directed at someone or a specific encounter. This is just my side of the story and my feelings.” However, fans have speculated that some of her fan accounts have stalked her in the past.
One particular fan account MidwestPrincessHQ has been under the microscope after the account was stolen from the admins and the person who took over was accused of stalking Chappell and her family. Though Chappell herself hasn’t named names, we can agree that it is not very demure or cutesy or mindful to stalk your faves. “this is so serious. if you love her art and don’t want her to stop making music, please respect her boundaries and leave her alone,” one fan account posted on X.
