"It's probably not helpful but I have been doing this fame thing for a while and you learn slowly and painfully that you don't get a free pass once you turn yourself into a bird of paradise. I watched [Chappell Roan] filming the paps in Paris and I laughed because I have kicked off at them many times."
"The trick is to own your fame. yes, it's annoying at times but so is being ignored and told your a 'has-been. Life is always now and I think Chappell looks great but cheer up girl. The world is at your feet stop kicking it!"
"I'm just trying to go to dinner, and I've asked these people several times to get away from me. This person I've asked several times to go away, and they will not. These are all the people that are completely disregarding my boundaries."
Chappell Roan, a 28-year-old Grammy-winning lesbian pop star, confronted paparazzi in Paris during Fashion Week, filming a viral video that accumulated 27.5 million views. In the video, she expressed feeling disregarded as a human and repeatedly asked photographers to leave her alone and stop following her. Boy George, the 64-year-old "Karma Chameleon" hitmaker, responded to the incident on social media, advising Roan to embrace her fame rather than resist it. George suggested that while paparazzi attention is annoying, it is preferable to being ignored and labeled a has-been. He encouraged her to own her fame and maintain a positive attitude, implying that setting boundaries is less important than accepting the demands that come with celebrity status.
