Chappell Roan continues to struggle with the more challenging aspects of fame.

As the new cover star of The Face, the 26-year-old budding pop star recalled an alarming encounter with two men who harassed her at an airport.
She shared, 'I get out of the car, it’s 5:30 in the morning, and there’s two guys waiting with a bunch of posters and s*** for me to sign. I know they’re not fans. I said no. I was like, "I don’t sign anything at the airport, I’m sorry."'
The Missouri native continued, '[One of them] follows me to the TSA line, starts yelling at me and everyone just turns and looks. He’s like, "You should really humble yourself. Do you know where you are right now? Don’t forget where you came from."'
The star — who recently revealed the purpose of her white face paint — admitted, 'I told myself, if this ever gets dangerous, I might quit.'
She emphasized, 'It’s dangerous now, and I’m still going. But that part is not what I signed up for.'
And the singer-songwriter described fame as 'abusive.'
Roan presented a metaphor: 'The vibe of this — stalking, talking s***t online, [people who] won’t leave you alone, yelling at you in public — is the vibe of an abusive ex-husband.'
She reiterated, 'That’s what it feels like. I didn’t know it would feel this bad.'
Following the airport fiasco, Chappell said she cried in the airport bathroom and texted fellow singer Lorde, 27, for advice.
'She sent me a list of things I should do [in that situation],' Roan shared.
'Literally wrote down eight things she wished someone would have told her when she was going through it. And she went through f***ing hell. She was a baby!' the Good Luck, Babe! hitmaker said of Lorde, who debuted on the music scene as a teen with her hit song Royals.
Her latest interview comes after she ruffled feathers on last week's VMAs red carpet as she clapped back at a photographer who shouted 'shut the f*** up' as she turned away to adjust her outfit.
The rising entertainer has earned a reputation for being a complainer, with one fan on X hilariously suggesting she change her name to 'Chappell Moan.'
In late August she took to TikTok to slam fans who cross her boundaries.
'I need you to answer questions — just answer my questions for a second: If you saw a random woman on the street, would you yell at her from your car window?' she asked the internet.
She continued, 'Would you harass her in public? Would you go up to a random lady and say, "Can I take a photo with you?" and she says, "No, what the f***?" — and then you get mad at this random lady?'
Roan has been outspoken about the pitfalls of fame, publicly rejecting the idea that she should accept unwanted attention amid her rising profile.
'I don't care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little famous, whatever,' Roan said in her TikTok clip. 'I don't care that it's normal. I don't care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the job, the career field I've chosen.
'That does not make it OK, that doesn't make it normal. That doesn't mean that I want it, that doesn't mean that I like it.'
While I'm all for celebrities having their privacy and having their boundaries respected, but at this point like the above post I'm about to change her name from Chappell Roan to Chappell Moan, because all she does is bitch and complain about being famous.
She's spent more time complaining about the messier side of fame than enjoying the perks she's gotten because of her success.
I feel she's sending mixed messages. On one hand you despise the dark side of fame (you can't have the yin without the yang), but then you're canceling tour dates to do the VMA's, and appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone and The Face.
Either hire security around the clock to protect you from annoying fans, or find ways to scale back from appearing in public. She may feel why does she need to sacrifice being out in public, but if you go out in the street you will be approached.
