Chappell Roan Shares 2 Disturbing Incidents That Made Her Call Out 'Creepy' Fan Behavior
HuffPost
For Rolling Stone's October issue, the pop sensation opened up about a pair of fan experiences that made her rethink how she sees fame.
Chappell Roan has revealed the frightening fan conduct that pushed her to speak out against people who refuse to respect artists’ boundaries.
Roan, who is interviewed in the cover story of Rolling Stone’s October issue, described a pair of incidents that made her realize some fans needed a serious reality check, prompting her to call out the “creepy behavior” on social media.
The singer-songwriter told Rolling Stone about a night in August when a fan grabbed her and kissed her without consent while she was out celebrating a friend’s birthday.
Separately but later that same evening, Roan learned that her father’s phone number had been leaked online and people were calling him.
The back-to-back incidents were a turning point for the “Hot to Go” singer. She’d already had been harassed by fans she’d refused to sign autographs for or take photos with, and she’d had to hire security to deal with a stalker.
