She definitely wants to win but she's scared of future high expectations of her and becoming another fame hungry industry marionette. 

The way some of you talk about this girl not wanting to be part of the industry or be a popstar, people would think her sound is like Bjork but no, her songs sounds like Olivia Rodrigo lol.

[WalkAway]

Girl shut up. I really don't understand the hype, musically and vocal vise she's just as basic as any other girlie, except she has some edgy Gagaesque visuals. 

[Cloudy]

She is getting more insufferable by the minute

[Suspendedintheair]

Ya'll really gotta stop making fake-emo, Party city mfs with a catchy, cute jingle famous...

[B-Luke]

I swear her quotes read like a collection of the worst Lana Del Rey lyrics 

[NorbertMinaj]

All she does is complain…. 

[Feanor]

She's so eDgY.

[Mark Rih]

one hit and she's already one of the most insufferable pop girls of all times

[Calvin]

Can she just flop so we never have to hear about her again?

[Outlaws]

Can we skip to the part where she retires already? She's becoming super try hard now.

[Axolotl]

Shes so insufferable, her whole schtick has also already been done countless times before

[Namie-Knowles]

Imagine all of the beaten wives reading this on their phone in their bedrooms unable to leave due to safety and financial reasons. Yet this white woman millionaire is comparing the freedom, security, and power fame provides to your situation. Lmao, just a mess.

Attending award shows, doing interviews and covering magazines don't seem like things a person who hates fame would do

I keep seeing this quote being taken out of context.

 

When she's talking about stalking, harassment, being yelled at, unsolicited physical contact, etc. — she's actually highlighting red flags in DV relationships.

 

But people are acting like she said, "being rich and loved by millions is like being bashed by a man."

 

That's not what she's saying at all. I feel like it's unfair to take this quote out of context.

It's still not comparable. She can choose to go back to the diner she was working at and never make another appearance again. People will eventually forget. 
 

The same can't be said for an abusive partner

The media better get on her ass about this the same way they went in on Blake lively for misrepresenting that movie a few weeks ago

Bingo. Watch them be silent and try to justify it. If Blake Lively had said this everyone would be eating her alive.

[Velvet Night]

I don't doubt for a second that fame is a very hellish experience. It sounds like my worst nightmare. But I have a difficult time feeling sympathetic towards her because she doesn't seem to have any interest in bowing out and disappearing until the general public has forgotten she exists.

[hallucinate]

corny

[curiousladybug]

She's such a ******* brat. I am sick of clearly privileged people that complain about how hard their life is. Imagine how poor people feel, imagine how terminally ill people feel, imagine how 90% people who don't have the privilege to do what she does feel? For fucks sake I am sick of people being this ignorant. And y'all who support this behaviour are the worst. 

[curiousladybug]

Double post.

Most women stay with abusive husbands because they don't have the resources to leave.

 

As a famous wealthy person Chappell now has access to (and money for) more resources than 95% of us. Including the option to leave.

 

I find she's coming off not particularly bright lately, and definitely not well-worded.

Yeah, I'm not trying to downplay the dark sides to fame. I'm sure everything she says about the experience is true, but this comparison rubs me a bit weird. Abusive women often stay out of fear and/or lack of resources. Contractual elements aside, Chappell has earned money from this experience (unlike most abused wives). She can leave or bow out or at least stop doing promo. She can perform shows instead of cancelling them to do the VMAs. She can turn down all the magazine interviews. Etc.

 

She's kind of starting to talk out of both sides of her face. Experience is nuanced but this quote hits weird.
