Chappell Roan called out a “disrespectful photographer in the most polite and epic way possible.
On 25 October, the pop superstar attended the Los Angeles premiere of Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS World Tour film.
During her time on the red carpet, Chappell delivered sickening poses in a red sheer ensemble and took part in adorable interactions with the ‘brutal’ singer.
In addition to serving in the fashion department, the singer-songwriter called out a photographer for their disrespectful behaviour at a previous event.
In a video posted to social media, the ‘Hot to Go’ artist is shown walking towards an off-camera photog before stating: “You were so disrespectful to me at the Grammys. You yelled at me at the Grammy party.
“I remember, and you were so rude to me. And I deserve an apology for that… You need to apologize.”
While it’s unclear whether the unidentified photographer apologized, Chappell ended their interaction by telling them not to “do that to another artist again.”
The video has since gone viral on social media, with many fans supporting the ‘Pink Pony Club’ singer.
One user wrote: “Actually love seeing women confront men who have wronged them in a society where women are taught to just take mistreatment quietly and with a smile like she’s actually so fucking mother, and she makes me want to stop being a coward thank you chappell roan I love you Chappell Roan.”
Another person echoed similar sentiments, writing: “Her saying “don’t do that to another artist again” oh Chappell Roan, they could never make me hate you.”
This isn’t Chappell’s first time shutting down a photographer’s abrasive behaviour.

Back in September, while attending the MTV Video Music Awards, the ‘Casual‘ singer had a heated exchange with a different paparazzi, who appeared to yell “shut the f**k up“ in her direction.
In response, Chappell boldly stated, “You shut the f**k up…. Not me bitch,“ which garnered a supportive reaction from other individuals on the carpet.
Shortly after their intense interaction, the ‘Naked in Manhattan’ talent gave insight into her passionate response while speaking with Entertainment Weekly.
“This is quite overwhelming and quite scary. For someone who gets a lot of anxiety around people yelling at you, the carpet is horrifying, and I yelled back,“ she explained. “I yelled back. You don’t get to yell at me like that.“
Before earning praise for setting boundaries, Chappell first catapulted to mainstream superstardom following the release of her stand-alone queer anthem, ‘Good Luck, Babe!’

Her critically acclaimed 2023 debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, subsequently began to climb the worldwide charts – securing the number one spot in the UK, Ireland and New Zealand and peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 200.
While Chappell’s star has deservedly reached new heights, she has been an open book about the downfalls of her new high-profile status.
In September, the beloved talented revealed to The Guardian that she was diagnosed with severe depression, which she attributed to her meteoric rise.
“If I want to go thrifting, I have to book security and prepare myself that this is not going to be normal. Going to the park, pilates, yoga – how do I do this in a safe way where I’m not going to be stalked or harassed,“ she explained.
Despite the array of challenges, the openly queer talent shared some of the positive aspects of her newfound fame, like having the ability to say no to things, performing in front of packed crowds and some elements of “the pop star treatment.”
