Chappell Roan has reaffirmed her right to refuse requests from fans who approach her when she is not working on Friday.
After posting about her “weird” fans in an angry TikTok video earlier this month, the artist posted another firm statement about her boundaries on Instagram.
After uploading the six-page statement, the 26-year-old explained that she turned off comments because “this is not a group conversation.”
“I’m not afraid of the consequences of demanding respect,” the My Kink Is Karma hitmaker wrote.
The singer compared the experiences she has been going through with what “every woman is feeling or has felt in a similar way to what I am experiencing.”

“This is not a new situation,” she told her fans. “Why is it so irritating for a girl to express her fears and limits?”
Following up on her TikTok statement in which she attempted to explain the angst she’d been feeling from fans meeting her outside of her scheduled concerts or events, the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer said, “For the past 10 years I’ve been working non-stop to build my project and I’ve gotten to the point where I need to draw lines and set boundaries.”
The singer explained: “I’ve been in too many non-consensual physical and social interactions and I just need to say it and remind you that women don’t owe you anything.”
Chappell continued her explanation by telling her detractors: “When I’m on stage, when I’m performing, when I’m dressed in drag, when I’m at a work event, when I’m doing press… I’m at work. In any other circumstance, I’m not in work mode. I’m off work.”
‘I don’t agree with the idea that I owe a mutual exchange of energy, time or attention to people I don’t know, don’t trust or who give me the creeps, just because they express admiration.’
The singer-songwriter, who performs in drag, said she was “specifically speaking out about predatory behavior (disguised as “superfan” behavior) that has been normalized because of the way well-known women have been treated in the past.”
‘Please don’t assume you know a lot about someone’s life, personality, and boundaries because you are familiar with them or their work online.’
The Hot to Go singer repeatedly stated that just because she had chosen a career that would put her in the public eye she didn’t have to accept “creepy people, touching her and following her around.”

Chappell expressed gratitude for the “love I feel for my community,” but noted that he was “speaking specifically about predatory behavior… that has been normalized because of the way well-known women have been treated in the past.”
She compared it to the sexist and dangerous stereotype of a woman who deserves to be harassed or catcalled for wearing a “short skirt.”
“It’s not a woman’s duty to suck it up and accept it; it’s the harasser’s duty to be a decent person, leave her alone and respect that she can wear whatever she wants and still deserve peace in this world.”
“I’m scared and I’m tired,” she said. “I feel more love than I’ve ever felt in my life. I feel more insecure than I’ve ever felt before.”

“I don’t accept… people being creepy, touching me and following me,” the singer wrote (Photo: Los Angeles in May)
The artist, who was born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, also asked her fans not to call her by her first name.
Chappell concluded by saying, “There’s a part of me that I keep just for my project and for all of you. There’s a part of me that’s just for me and I don’t want it taken away from me. Thank you for reading this. I appreciate your understanding and support.”
