I want to see someone try something that is country but is sad or melancholy rather than being something that is designed for line dancing. Not all country is pop.

Not having range never stopped anyone from being a pop singer, so she will do fine 🙂

What annoys me, is people give an extra 'gold star' to anything LGBT related. It is patronising to not hold someone to the same standard as everyone else because of sexuality.

And instead of telling everybody that it must have all been one big misunderstanding, she couldn't squeek out an apology?
Agree. That whole lying down, bored & bemused sounding non-apology was passively aggressively contemptuous in itself.

Man I love chappell roan.

But have breakfast in your hotel room.
Dont make an 11yr old cry because she looked at you.
My thoughts exactly! I get it, sometimes you want privacy but you are not able to arrange it..
Breakfast in the hotel? Easily avoidable situation! 🤷‍♀️
I'm a simple peasant and even I prefer to have it in the room if possible not to be surrounded by strangers first thing in the morning..

Her behaviour is strange indeed, but cant help but notice double standards among celebs.. Men can be convicted criminals and go on with their careers.. With Chappell? Even if everything is true, the worst you can say about her - that she is a major b*tch, and she is being cancelled and forbidden to go places.. Or did Brazil also forbit Chris Brown to perform?
Dont think so..

She needs better management. At least half of the incidents that grind people's gears could've been mitigated by a capable team, a team that helps her career and helps her cope with the new fame.
Whoever manages her now looks like a fecking amateur.

No one should expect to go to work and have people be rude to them and then told to just smile and accept it because that’s how it’s always been. Feels like for famous women we’re stuck in the past and if they create boundaries they must be crazy.
You've never worked in healthcare or customer service, I take it? That's literally all day every day at work.

I'm not saying it's "right" or that we "should" take it but ffs she's doing it for her own ego, not for the good of all female celebs.

I like a lot of her music but she needs a better management team and a good therapist.

The “Every Outfit” podcast did a little bit about this a couple of weeks ago, it’s worth a listen, but the TL;DR is
“You ok, babe? Go touch some grass”.

It's utterly unhinged to avenge a grudge against a stranger for a perceived slight 8 months ago. How angry and festering do you have to be to do that, and to even remember it in the first place?


If you’ve got a job you enjoy doing but it’s being ruined by a few arseholes you’ve got a few choices;
Change job - shame because you actually liked the job part
Smile and put up with it - won’t last long
Try and change things - might as well try that before you give up, no?

The parts of her job she doesn’t like are not fundamental to her role. She’s a performer and makes music, she doesn’t need to be nice to paparazzi or accept stalking
And why does this only apply to the celebrity? What about photographers? By your logic, why should paparazzi have to put up with childish, spoiled divas - who occupy a more powerful social and economic position - publicly ranting and raving at them at their place of work? Photographers would be just as entitled to improve their lot and object to mistreatment.

Paparazzi only have to take photos of celebs. There is no requirement to be nice to celebrities either, by your logic. But I suspect you only apply your reasoning to Chappell because of classism. Photographers occupy a lower social rung, so they have to just accept their superiors giving them public dressings down.

Paparazzi are not stalkers. They have a symbiotic relationship with stars. You say the parts of her job she doesn't like are not fundamental to her role, but actually they are. Without fame and all that comes with it, she wouldn't even make a wage with her own music. She'd have to eke a living doing covers in pubs, clubs and weddings, like other non-famous singers (or live off Grandpa's money).

( also there was a lot of claims of her doing drag/being inspired by drag. I find it suspicious that that there doesn't seem to be any proof of her doing this pre career)
Saw someone on Reddit say that their drag friend opened for her before she got famous and Chappell was extremely disrespectful

Obviously take with a grain of salt because Reddit

I agree. I think he’s been paid off
And being the suspicious Sally that I am, now I'm wondering what little miss Chappie is hiding. There's a lot of misdirection and finger pointing over absolutely nothing, which usually means there's far more important, darker business to obfuscate.

She needs to give up doing media events, maybe just turn up to sing and then disappear but never do the red carpet.

Screwing over fans to do the VMAs doesn't exactly endear you to her talking about struggling with fame and fans.

While I agree with the sentiment of her setting boundary post, she should have kept it breezy and made the post 30 words max. I doubt she even has much time to meet up with friends with one song blowing up at the moment, let alone be recognized out of character.

She needs to chill with the zoomer therapy speak. Not everything is abuse and trauma.
My issue is she claims she just wants to make music without all the attention not realising the reason everyone gives her attention is the crap she constantly comes out with. It's like she will say something so stupid knowing people will question it just so she can call them out and play the victim.

“I take full responsibility for the interactions on March 21st. I was at the hotel on behalf of another individual, and I was not part of the personal security team of Chappell Roan,” he continued. “The actions I took were not on behalf of Chappell Roan, her personal security team, her management, or any other individuals.”

Duvier said that he “made a judgment call” based on information obtained from the hotel, events he had witnessed in the days prior and the heightened security risk of the location.

“My sole interaction with the mother was calm and with good intentions, and the outcome of the encounter is regretful,” he wrote.

He tells us that he was there on behalf of another individual. Not telling us who kinda lets me to believe that this is a half truth

If you make a judgement call and it ends up being a calm interaction, why is the kid crying? And if you're a bodyguard you know you can gently push aside a kid. Why go up to the mum, reprimand her and let your paycheck out of sight. That's not what you should do, what you're paid to do or something I ever saw a bodyguard do

I think they paid him off and I don't believe a word of it
I agree. I think he’s been paid off

Chappell Roan really needs to pick a lane. She’s angry all the time at the basic factors of fame; photographers shouting at you to turn is not a personal attack.

People asking you for selfies or autographs is tiresome I’m sure, but bawling out about it is whiny at best and fucking ungrateful at worst.

I like her music but she’s starting to come across as a spoiled fucking brat, which she is likely to wear as a badge of honour, but when you don’t have a solid body of respected work, and an established long lasting fan base is a fool’s move.

Nobody likes a whinger.
This was Olivia Rodrigo's event, there was no need for her to kick off at it and make it about her. I like her music but she's a moany bastard and it's very off putting.

I don't know why pop stars still pretend like they came from nothing when they are almost always from well-to-do if not straight up rich families. Taylor Swift doesn't pretend like she's from the holler and it hasn't affected her career one bit.
There are far less opportunities to make money from music these days. Pretty much the only people who can afford to go down the artist route these days have money to cushion them or to fall back on. Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Lana Del Ray etc...they're all full of shit about where they come from.
