Draper. Posted August 20 Posted August 20 She's mostly right. Asking people for photos is uncomfortable and doesn't respect boundaries, specially if the person is not at an event or something related to their work. Asking for hugs is… crazy. People saying they're getting turned off when they hear her talk like this just prove her point. You don't know her and you just created a persona in your mind. You're getting turned off you're actually getting to know her and she doesn't meet the expectations you created. 3 4
lillavend3r Posted August 20 Posted August 20 2 hours ago, KatyPrismSpirit said: People need to understand she isn't like Olivia or Sabrina. Chappell always lived a true normal girl life. She wasn't on a TV show, she didnt grow up with parents in the industry. She literally exploded to megastardom in months. She was literally working in a drive-thru in 2021 after she got dropped because Pink Pony Club flopped in 2020. This social shift would be too much to handle for everyone, especially for someone with zero experience in the industry. And she needs to understand she's not a nobody anymore. How she wanted to live off of music but doesn't want the fame it doesn't work that way 6
dlwlrma Posted August 20 Posted August 20 Dont even want a bodyguard? Girl signed with Atlantic and has Dan Nigro as main producer, sold the soul to be a mpg. Ofc she doesn't have to accept harassment, but can't go back and pretend she is anon 1

I really wish she equips herself with the proper support system and security so she feels comfortable moving forward because this will be her new normal for at least another album cycle. But mostly I hope she can change her perspective because it's HER ride and she deserves to enjoy it. Especially since her music is resonating so strongly with the public. This situation makes me realize how crazy it was to see people like Gaga and Rihanna handled their meteoric rise to fame with confidence and even in a daring manner, and in the era of relentless paparazzi & burgeoning social media. Their attitude towards fame had so much poise and demeanor that it almost weaponized their fame and made them stronger. Obviously I have no idea what it was really like behind the scenes, but they certainly are both living the high life now so it obviously worked out for them. Not to mention she also just said she only pursued music because she didn't make it in acting 1

Wonderland Posted August 20 Posted August 20 I do feel bad for her in a way. I think she's achieving a level of fame that she doesn't actually want.
Trent W Posted August 20 Posted August 20 I never understood why musicians have to be celebrities This needs to change, just because you love to make music and express it doesn't mean you have to deal with the baggage of being famous and deranged people. If you like someone's art, you pay or stream and there is were de transaction stops, you are not entitled to their personal lives. She should try the Beyonce route. Never interact with anyone on social media, no interviews. Just release the art and go back to a quite home 1
conquxror Posted August 20 Posted August 20 I understand the sentiment and why she feels the way she feels, but the video did come across as a bit condescending. She's on top of the world right now and people are gonna be over analyzing everything she says trying to find reasons to hate, so she should be a little bit more careful with how she comes across. For example, a very normal response to this video would be… Girl, just stop promoting as a mainstream act and keep your niche fan base. Because it just seems like she's annoyed at everything and not… happy. 4 1

CottageHore Posted August 20 Posted August 20 (edited) I am a huge Chappell fan but at first I was a little "meh" on what she was saying but then she clocked me with the "idc that the stalking and invasion of my privacy "comes with the territory", that doesn't make it okay". And she's right. It is interesting how because something has been in rotation for a long time that we accept it as normal and then use that normalizing as an excuse to not do anything to extinguish it. If anyone should be speaking on this, it's a famous celebrity like Chappell who is experiencing this first-hand. We're not famous so we don't care and we don't need to. She has every right to be upset and to try and draw attention to the crooked nature of this normalized way of objectifying and disrespecting people simply because they perform on stage and make art.

AvadaKedavra Posted August 20 Posted August 20 (edited) I like Chappel and i want her to be a Main Pop girl cause there's talent there but she's someone with some issues and we dont know if she would be able to handle fame in the level of Gaga,Rihanna.Taylor... We dont want another Britney situation (Someone who was not 100% ready for it). Chappel like britney comes from from humble begginins in the midwest-south and away from all that glamour-entertainment world from hollywood-california-ny city. People forget Chappel is bipolar 2 and has mood changes all the time hope she's able to find a healthy road to superstardom It could be a total disaster if she's not able to manage Superstar fame. Once u get into those levels of titanic worldwide fame is very hard to backtrack and your life it will not be the same. It changes forever Gaga has talked multiple times of how she hates gaga. Katy hated katy and witness happened...Bieber is still traumatized by it.....Billie was suicidal Fame can be a very scary thing Yes money is good but not havin peace and the freedom to live your life and gettin hunted by cameras everyday can be exhaustin Imagine goin to a restaurant and hundreds lookin for pictures and touchin you and sometimes trying to kiss you Your parents losin their safety and gettin stalked by killers Thousands and Thousands hatin every thing of you Chappel is clearly very terrified I think she wanted sky ferreira-carly rae jepsen type of fame but not this godzilla type of fame The healthiest thing for her is to stop for a bit and allow her fame to slow down i think. To take more time for her next record her decision. Edited August 20 by AvadaKedavra 1

Venice B Posted August 20 Posted August 20 3 hours ago, Sheep said: This isn't it sorry. Love her but she's not cut out for fame. Like yes not being able to exist as a private person in public is traumatizing and celebrity as a construct is destructive. She has the power to pull the plug on her career and go get a job in finance or something but is still raking in the checks and bookings from her album. The people who think they know her are the ones paying her bills. I wouldn't personally run up to Gaga or Beyonce and demand their time and attention in public but I wouldn't throw hands at the others going up to them. It's no secret that the only real solution in these scenarios is to remove yourself from public spaces, which is obviously hard as somebody who's not even fully established yet but it really, REALLY, REALLY comes with the territory. Making and posting this video in itself is inserting her into a public space. You don't get heaps of praise and adoration and money just for existing and then give up nothing except some studio sessions and live performances in return, there ARE trade-offs, it's a JOB. There's a reason all of our favs try to make themselves scarce and unknowable outside of working hours. It's crazy how this is the most upvoted comment in the first page like y'all are sick 1
BGKC Posted August 20 Posted August 20 It's the price of fame. You either quit or find yourself a trustworthy support system. 2
attention Posted August 20 Posted August 20 some lazy responses here anyways shes valid in her statement and hopefully she can create on the scale she wants 1
CandleGuy Posted August 20 Posted August 20 I agree that stans and paparazzi can be absolute weirdos and no one deserves to be treated as property. However. This is a losing battle. You cannot control the behavior of other people. If you feel like you're in an abusive relationship, leave the relationship. Don't beg the other person to change. Stop doing interviews. Stop playing huge festivals. Stop doing promo. Make your art and put it out there and stay in the background. She has a choice in all of this. She can't specifically chase fame and then decide that she wants the good parts but not the bad parts. That's like me wanting to keep my ex's cock but not his alcoholism. Sorry, they're a package deal and you either get all of it or none of it. 1 8
