Chappell Roan Claps Back at Red Carpet Photographer: “You Were So Disrespectful”

October 26, 2024

Chappell Roan is trending again, and it’s not just for her music! The rising pop queen called out a photographer on the red carpet for Netflix’s Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour concert premiere, accusing him of being “so disrespectful” at the Grammys earlier this year.

Caught on video, Roan’s confrontation was direct: “You yelled at me at the Grammy party … Yes, I remember. You were so rude to me, and I deserve an apology.” Fans online are loving her boldness, with some even calling it a top-tier main character moment. A staffer quickly stepped in to move her along, but the clip is already going viral on TikTok.

This isn’t her first time setting paparazzi straight. Just last month, she had another heated exchange with a photog at the MTV VMAs, and her blunt honesty about handling fame has only made her more relatable to fans. Roan, who crushed it at Lollapalooza this year, has opened up about how her bipolar II diagnosis affects her career and emotions in the spotlight.

In a raw post last year, she shared, “I’m diagnosed bipolar II, and it’s been pretty hard to keep it together and release these songs. I was in full swing hypomania when ‘Naked in Manhattan’ dropped… I don’t talk about it much, but it affects me daily and is a huge part of my music.” Fans have been rallying around her openness, and it’s clear she’s embracing her path, highs, lows, and all.

Whether it’s on stage or on the red carpet, Chappell Roan doesn’t hold back. And if the cameras are rolling, you know she’s gonna keep it real.
