Musician Noah Kahan<\/strong> has officially joined the Chappell Roan<\/strong> fan club, but not everyone is jumping in.\n<\/p>\n

After Chappell went viral for filming paparazzi and autograph resellers who followed her on the streets of Paris while she tried to go to dinner, Noah jumped on Instagram Stories to back her in a big way.<\/p>\n

In the video that kicked this all off, Chappell is seen beside a car, surrounded by people with cameras and glossy photos. She turns her phone on them and says, \u201cWhen you\u2019re disregarded as a human, this is what it\u2019s like. I\u2019m just trying to go to dinner, and I\u2019ve asked these people several times to get away from me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Panning across the crowd, she adds, \u201cThese are all the people who are completely disregarding all of my boundaries\u201d, and makes it clear she won\u2019t be signing anything.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where Noah steps in. Sharing a headline about the incident, he wrote on his Story: \u201cMaybe they should just idk leave her alone? Also those dudes saying \u2018I\u2019m a huge fan\u2019 following her around are scalpers and are as bad as the paparazzi. F*ck em all.\u201d <\/p>\n

In a follow-up video, he explains he\u2019s talking about professional autograph hunters who track celebrities\u2019 movements and pretend to be supporters. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese people literally find out where you\u2019re staying, where you\u2019re flying into, where your team, family, lover\u2019s staying, and they are clearly not your fans,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey just sit outside places and try to guilt you into signing shit so they can sell it\u2026 They\u2019re scummy, they\u2019re manipulative, they\u2019re parasitic, and yeah, f*ck \u2019em. Seriously, f*ck them\u2026 They\u2019re not fans. They\u2019re just businessmen trying to use human beings for profit and for their own gains. So they can get bent \u2014 eat f*cking nails.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not everyone in the industry is taking quite the same line, though. Boy George <\/strong>weighed in on X with a more old\u2011school take on fame after watching the same Paris clip. \u201cI watched @ChappellRoan filming the paps in Paris and I laughed because I have kicked off at them many times,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trick is to own your fame. Yes, it\u2019s annoying at times but so is being ignored and told your a \u2018has-been.\u201d <\/p>\n

He told her to \u201ccheer up girl\u201d, arguing that \u201cThe world is at your feet stop kicking it!\u201d and summed up his view with, \u201cIt takes so much more time to say no to a picture or a signature. Boundaries are boring. Break them with the magic of kindness!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s probably not helpful but I have been doing this fame thing for a while and you learn slowly and painfully that you don\u2019t get a free pass once you turn yourself into a bird of paradise. I watched @ChappellRoan<\/a> filming the paps in Paris and I laughed because I have kicked off\u2026<\/p>\n

The whole thing has reignited the usual discourse about what famous people \u201csign up for\u201d versus, you know, basic safety and respect. <\/p>\n

why is everyone so eager to tell women to just take unwanted attention<\/p>\n

But, it\u2019s clearly not just Chappell dealing with this kind of attention in Paris right now: Dua Lipa<\/strong> and Callum Turner<\/strong> were recently filmed asking paps to leave them alone outside a restaurant, with Dua saying \u201cwe\u2019re not doing this\u201d as they tried to dodge cameras on what was supposed to be a quiet night out.<\/p>\n

Chappell, for her part, has already shown she\u2019s willing to call this behaviour out in real time. At the 2024 VMAs, a photographer told her to \u201cshut the f*ck up\u201d <\/a>on the red carpet, and she immediately shot back, \u201cDon\u2019t. Not me, b*tch!\u201d in a moment that quickly went viral. <\/p>\n

She also confronted a photographer at Olivia Rodrigo<\/strong>\u2018s GUTS World Tour\u00a0film premiere in 2024 <\/a>and she said had been \u201cso rude\u201d to her at a Grammys after-party, telling him, \u201cYou yelled at me at the Grammy party\u2026 I remember. You were so rude to me, and I deserve an apology for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whatever side of the celebrity\u2013paparazzi debate people fall on, the message from this little corner of pop music feels pretty clear: a bit of space and basic boundaries shouldn\u2019t be a controversial ask.<\/p>\n
