Chappell Roan said he would quit the entertainment industry if it became too “dangerous” as he shared an anecdote about a confrontation at an airport.
As the new cover star of The Face, the 26-year-old budding pop star recalled an alarming encounter with two men who harassed her at an airport.
“It’s dangerous now and I’ll keep going, but it’s not what I wanted to do,” he stressed.
And the singer-songwriter described fame as “abusive.”
Roan offered a metaphor: ‘The vibe of this — stalking, talking shit online, (people who) won’t leave you alone, yelling at you in public — it’s the vibe of an abusive ex-husband.’
She reiterated: “That’s what it feels like. I didn’t know I would feel this bad.”
Following the airport fiasco, Chappell said she cried in the airport bathroom and texted fellow singer Lorde, 27, asking for advice.
“She sent me a list of things I should do (in that situation),” Roan shared.
“She literally wrote down eight things she wished someone would have told her when she was going through it. And she went through fucking hell. She was a baby!” the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer said of Lorde, who broke onto the music scene as a teenager with her hit song “Royals.”
Chappell also explained why he would rather not win a Grammy Award.
‘My mother would love to go to the Grammys or the Brits. I hope I don’t win, because then everyone will be on their guard and say, “They’ve done it and we haven’t won, bye!” I won’t have to do this again!’
The star admitted: “I told myself that if this got dangerous, I could just quit.” She posed in an avant-garde photoshoot by photographer Sharna Osborne for her cover story on The Face.
Her latest interview comes after she caused a stir on the red carpet at last week’s VMAs when she clapped back at a photographer who shouted “shut your mouth” as she turned around to adjust her outfit.
The rising artist has earned a reputation for being a complainer, and one fan on X hilariously suggested she change her name to ‘Chappell Moan.’
She added: “This industry and this art thrive on mental illness, exhaustion, overwork, over-exertion and lack of sleep. The sicker you are, the fatter you get. Isn’t that a pain in the ass?”
‘The ambition is: How do I not hate myself, my job, my life, and do this? Because right now, it’s not working. I’m just struggling to feel healthy.’

In late August, she took to TikTok to slam fans who cross her boundaries.
“I need you to answer a few questions… just answer my questions for a second: If you saw a random woman on the street, would you yell at her from your car window?” he asked the Internet.
She continued: “Would you harass her in public? Would you walk up to a random woman and say, ‘Can I take a picture with you?’ and she says, ‘No, what the fuck?’ and then you get mad at that random woman?”
Roan has been outspoken about the dangers of fame and has publicly rejected the idea that she should accept unwanted attention amid her rising profile.

“I don’t care that abuse, harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little bit famous, whatever,” Roan said in her TikTok clip.
“I don’t care that it’s normal. I don’t care that this kind of crazy behavior is part of the job, part of the professional field that I’ve chosen.
“That doesn’t mean it’s okay, that doesn’t mean it’s normal. That doesn’t mean I love it, that doesn’t mean I like it.”
