She shared: ‘I get out of the car, it’s 5:30 in the morning and there’s two guys with a bunch of posters and s*** waiting for me to sign them. I know they’re not fans. I said no. I was like, ‘I don’t sign anything at the airport, sorry.”

She repeated, “That’s what it feels like. I didn’t know it would be this bad.”
Chappell said she cried in the bathroom after the airport chaos and texted her 27-year-old fellow singer Lorde for advice.
She sent me a list of things to do [in that situation]’, Roan shared.
“Literally wrote down eight things that she would have liked to have heard when she was going through it. And she was going through f***ing hell. She was a baby!” the Good Luck, Babe! hitmaker said of Lorde, who burst onto the music scene as a teenager with her hit Royals.
Her latest interview came after she caused a stir on the VMAs red carpet last week when she confronted a photographer who yelled “shut the f*** up” as she turned around to adjust her outfit.

Roan has spoken out openly about the pitfalls of fame, publicly rejecting the idea that she should have to accept unwanted attention amid her growing popularity.
“I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or kind of famous, whatever,” Roan said in her TikTok clip. “I don’t care that it’s normal. I don’t care that this kind of crazy behavior comes with the job, the career field that I’ve chosen.
“That doesn’t make it okay, that doesn’t make it normal. That doesn’t mean I want it, that doesn’t mean I like it.”
