The musician Chappell Roan has spoken about fans acting in a creepy way towards her. Roan and her family have been followed and harassed. This has happened both in real life and on the internet.
Roan is 26 years old. Her first album is called ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.’ Now, it is number two on the US music charts, just behind Taylor Swift.
Roan posted two videos on TikTok. In these videos, she spoke about people following and bullying her and her family. She mentioned people shouting at her in public. She also spoke about fans getting mean when she did not want to take photos or hug them.
Roan said she doesn’t like having to deal with these kinds of behaviours. She doesn’t think they are normal or okay. She asks people not to assume things about her just because they see her online or know her music.
Other famous people have made similar comments. They have spoken out against fans behaving badly. They have talked about the pressure of being famous and being admired by fans in a one-sided way.
Roan has recently become very popular. Her album is number one in the UK and number five in Australia. However, last month she said she was thinking about stopping her music career because of obsessive fans.
