Chappell Roan Opens Up About the Dark Side of Fame

The rising pop star compares her experience with fame to an 'abusive ex-husband' and considers quitting if it becomes too dangerous.

Roan has been vocal about the harassment and invasive behavior she faces from fans, including stalking and public confrontations.
In a recent interview, she described an incident at the airport where two men harassed her for autographs, leading her to question her safety.
Roan revealed that Lorde provided her with an eight-point list of advice on coping with fame, drawing from her own difficult experiences.
Despite her success, including winning Best New Artist at the MTV VMAs, Roan expressed hopes of not winning a Grammy to avoid further pressure.
She emphasized the unsustainable nature of the music industry, citing mental health struggles and burnout as significant challenges.
