Chappell Roan reflects on her early success with a candid admission about the darker side of fame, describing it as an abusive relationship. "I feel like fame is just abusive," she said, likening fan interactions to the behavior of an abusive ex-husband. Roan's honesty brings to light the emotional toll that comes with celebrity, highlighting her desire for boundaries and safety amid success.
In a revealing moment, Roan recounted a disturbing encounter that underscores her struggle with invasive fans. Waiting at an airport at 5:30 AM, she was approached by aggressive fans demanding autographs. One even followed her through TSA lines, berating her with accusations of not being humble. Such interactions, she said, are not the kind of attention she sought—"What the f-k is going on?" she wondered.
Shaken after the incident, Roan found comfort in reaching out to fellow artist Lorde, seeking advice on how to handle the harassment. "She sent me a list of things I should do [in that situation]," Roan revealed. This speaks to the sense of community many artists find necessary in navigating the intense world of fame and the often unintended consequences it brings.
