Chappell Roan is making headlines once again following a heated exchange with a photographer on the red carpet at the premiere of Netflix’s “Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour” concert film. The rising pop star confronted the media member, asserting that they had been “so disrespectful” during a previous interaction at the 66th Grammy Awards in February.
In a recorded clip from the event, Roan stated, “You were so disrespectful to me at the Grammys. You yelled at me at the Grammy party … Yes, I remember. You were so rude to me, and I deserve an apology for that … You need to apologize to me.” During the interaction, another individual attempted to intervene in an effort to move Roan along the carpet, but the nature of the earlier incident she referenced remains unclear.
Roan, who served as an opening act on Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour, recently faced another paparazzi encounter filled with expletives at the MTV Video Music Awards, as shown in TikTok videos shared by media outlets.
The artist, born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, has spoken candidly about her experiences with fame, particularly following the success of her debut album, “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” released in September 2023. She has canceled several tour stops amid her rapid ascent in the music industry.
Last month, Roan reportedly broke attendance records at Lollapalooza and actively engages with fans about her struggles with bipolar II disorder, which she says affects her daily life and music career. She opened up on Instagram about the challenges she faces, mentioning her ongoing therapy and the impact of her mental health on her work.
Recently, her debut album climbed to No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart.
