Chappell Roan Tells Photographer They Were 'Disrespectful' to Her At Grammys Event, Demands They ‘

Pop singer Chappell Roan recently made headlines for confronting a photographer on the red carpet at the premiere of Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour in Los Angeles on October 25, 2024. Roan, known for her bold personality and advocacy for respect within the industry, approached the unidentified photographer, reminding them of an incident from a previous Grammy event where she felt they had treated her disrespectfully.

In a clip circulating online, the 26-year-old "Hot to Go!" singer is seen addressing the photographer, saying, "You were so disrespectful to me at the Grammys. You yelled at me at the Grammy party... And I deserve an apology for that. You need to apologize to me." As Roan continued to demand an apology, a red carpet escort stepped in to de-escalate the situation, bringing the confrontation to a close.

Roan has not shied away from calling out aggressive behavior by photographers in the past. At the 2024 VMAs, she experienced a similar situation where a photographer allegedly yelled at her to "shut the [expletive] up," to which she reportedly responded in kind. Following that incident, Roan explained to Entertainment Tonight how overwhelming the red carpet can feel, especially for someone with anxiety. "The carpet is horrifying," she shared, adding, "You don’t get to yell at me like that."

Roan’s stance on boundaries has also extended to her fan interactions. Earlier this year, she addressed issues of fan harassment and inappropriate behavior in a candid letter posted on Instagram, as well as in a two-part TikTok series. Known for her hit The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, Roan has consistently voiced her concerns about the pressures and expectations of celebrity culture, advocating for healthier relationships between fans and public figures.
