    Chappell Roan doesn’t believe people are “entitled” to meet her – despite her newfound celebrity status.

    The “Hot To Go!” songstress (real name: Kayleigh Rose Amstutz) spoke out about the pressures that often come along with fame in a new video shared via TikTok Monday.

    “I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little famous, whatever. I don’t care that it’s normal,” she began.

    Roan, 26, explained that just because it’s the norm to accept “this crazy type of behavior” from fans as a singer “does not make it OK” to do.

    “That doesn’t make it normal. That doesn’t mean I want it, doesn’t mean that I like it. I don’t want whatever the f–k you think you’re supposed to be entitled to whenever you see a celebrity,” she argued. “I don’t give a f–k if you think it’s selfish of me to say no for a photo or for your time or for a hug –– that’s not normal, that’s weird!”

    The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer added that she finds it “f–king weird” how people think they know her just because they see her “online” or “listen to the art” she’s made.

    “I’m allowed to say no to creepy behavior, OK?” she reiterated.

    Roan clarified in the caption of her video that her message was not “directed at someone or a specific encounter,” but was rather her “side of the story and [her] feelings.”

    The “Casual” singer then posted another video where she asked her three million TikTok followers if they would “yell at” and ask for a picture with a “random woman” on the street.

    “Would you stalk her family? Would you follow her around? Would you try to dissect her life and bully her online –– this lady you don’t know? And she doesn’t know you at all?” she asked.

    “Would you assume that she’s a good person? Assume she’s a bad person? Would you assume everything you read about her online is true?”

    Roan added, “I’m a random bitch. You’re a random bitch. Just think about that for a second, OK?”

    The songstress turned off the comments on her TikTok. However, that didn’t stop fans from sharing their mixed reactions to her message on other social media platforms.

    “You’re mad at your fans for….being fans? The only reason ppl know who [you] are is because of them. They love you, the least you could do is show them how much you appreciate them,” one person commented on her recent Instagram post.

    “I understand that she feels that way but at the same time at least say no in a nice way, because these are the people that buys [sic] the music and come to your shows and they don’t have to do those things either. They can change their minds about you after a bad meeting,” one person wrote via X.

    “Fame doesn’t make abuse or harassment acceptable. It’s time people learned that basic respect doesn’t disappear just because someone’s in the public eye,” another person chimed in .

    Roan quickly rose to fame this year after she released her debut album, “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” in September 2023. Within just months of its release, Roan began drawing in massive audiences for her performances at festivals like Coachella, Governors Ball and Lollapalooza.
