"The incident prompted intense personal attacks on Chappell Roan, calls for boycotts, and significant misinformation (including satirical/fictional embellishment spreading as fact)."
"GUDEA determined 4.2% - or, about 2,282 - of those users were 'non-typical,' meaning they were likely bots, which made up over 23% of the posts."
"This is similar to what GUDEA reported around Taylor Swift in 2025, where an online conspiracy theory was largely led by a bot army."
