Amidst growing fame, the 'Good Luck, Babe!' hitmaker is emphasizing clear boundaries with fans, addressing stalking and harassment on TikTok and Instagram.

AceShowbiz - As her popularity continues to soar, Drag performer and content creator Chappell Roan has resolutely set forth boundaries with her online following. On TikTok, she declared her intolerance for stalking and harassment. Taking to Instagram on Friday, Roan penned an extensive message reiterating her stance.
"I am at work when I am performing, in drag, or at work events. Any other time, I am not in work mode. I do not believe I am obligated to reciprocate energy, time, or attention to those I do not know, trust, or find unsettling," she explained.
Roan emphasized that her gratitude for her supportive community does not extend to individuals who violate her personal space. She further elaborated on predatory behavior disguised as "superfan" conduct, noting that it has become normalized due to the historic mistreatment of high-profile women.
"Do not assume you know someone's life, personality, or boundaries based on online familiarity. Hayley Williams of Paramore has supported Roan's message, acknowledging that similar experiences are prevalent among women in the entertainment industry. Social media, she said, has exacerbated the issue.
"Every woman feels or has felt the same way I do," Roan concluded. "If my boundaries upset you, it is a reflection of you and your need for introspection. Why does a woman expressing her fears and limitations provoke such a negative reaction?"
Roan's stance serves as a reminder that boundaries are essential for personal well-being and should be respected by all individuals, especially in the era of social media.
