Chappell Roan demands photographer ‘apologise’ during heated exchange on red carpet

Chappell Roan found herself in yet another heated red carpet exchange on Friday, just a month after her infamous MTV VMA altercation with a photographer.

The 26-year-old Pink Pony Club singer was angrily confronted by a photographer near the step-and-repeat during the world premiere of Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS film at NYA Studios EAST in Los Angeles.

In a viral clip of the incident, Roan can be heard shouting at the unidentified attendant, “You were so disrespectful to me at the Grammys.”

She continued, “You were so disrespectful to me at the Grammys. You yelled at me at the Grammy party. Yes. Yes… At the Universal afterparty. I remember. You were so rude to me, and I deserve an apology for that. Yes, yes, yes, you do. No no no. You need to apologize.”

Whether Chappell received an apology remains unknown, although a team member intervened as the video came to a close.

The incident didn’t seem to faze the rising pop phenomenon, who continued to pose effortlessly before taking some stunning photos with Olivia Rodrigo herself.

It comes after Chappell was praised by fans for ‘defending herself’ when she gave an expletive-laden response while posing for snaps ahead of the VMA ceremony in September.

In footage of the incident, a photographer was heard yelling, “Shut up,” Chappell turned and shouted back, “YOU shut up!”

She added, “No! Not me, b****!’ prompting whoops from some observers on the scene. “Tell him, girl,” said a woman watching the encounter.

The exchange began when a male photographer off-camera apparently shouted for someone to “turn around.”

Chappell looked away from the cameras at the time as she was getting her extravagant red carpet outfit adjusted.

The star has previously spoken out about her annoyance at ‘weird’ fans who made her ‘uncomfortable’ with their pushy behavior – prompting a backlash from social media users who felt she was ungrateful for her stardom.

However, fans have taken to social media to praise Chappell’s response, with messages on

‘I love seeing a woman defend herself; Ate him, as he should;

‘I like to see a woman stand up against disrespect; Finally a celebrity who stands up for himself.’

She went on to win the VMA for Best New Artist, saying during her speech, “Can you believe it? We’re at the VMAs! I’m going to read from – I’ve written a speech – from my diary.’

“Thank you, MTV and Island Records and my team and my family and friends. “I dedicate this to all the drag artists who inspire me, who inspire me, and I dedicate this to the queer and trans people who fuel pop, to the gay people who dedicate my songs to someone they love or hate,” she said .

Her red carpet outburst comes after she expressed her “frustration” that people are only now starting to take her seriously as an artist.

The Pink Pony Club singer — who recently landed in hot water after insulting fans for wanting photos — made the comments in a cover story for the outlet published Tuesday.

“What’s so infuriating is that people are only now taking me seriously,” she said. “Like, ‘You know what, motherfucker? I’ve done this and you’re just now catching up.”

“Part of me hopes I never have another hit because then no one will ever expect anything from me again,” the star told Rolling Stone.

But Chappell explained that music is her passion. ‘It’s my dream job. I never know if it will ever be like that again, and that’s kind of scary.”

However, some fans were once again unimpressed and jumped to X to share their thoughts, with one penning: ‘All she does is complain.’

Another typed: ‘I’m tired of hearing about this woman, all she does is complain,’ while someone shared: ‘Girl can you enjoy yourself for a moment? It’s quite annoying that you complain about everything.’

One social media user wrote: “Girl do you appreciate your fame or something,” while someone added: “It takes a while for fame to come baby calm down.”

“All she does is complain oh my god,” one fan wrote, while another shared, “Can she stop making a fool of herself.”

Others wrote, “One thing about her is that she’s going to complain about her job,” and also, “She should be grateful to her fans for her fame and recognition.”

However, some fans defended Chappell on X, with one adding: ‘Chappell Roan’s frustration is completely understandable. It’s difficult if your hard work is only recognized later.’

“Well, that’s the music industry for you; people like to jump on the bandwagon when you’re already exploding,” wrote another.

“Chappell Roan has been grinding for years, and now everyone wants to pretend they ‘discovered’ her. Classic.’

The star also opened up about dealing with her rapid success following the release of her album The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess – which notably landed the number two spot on the US Billboard 200 chart.

“They literally showed me some stats and all I could do was say, ‘No, no, no. It’s not like that.’ I couldn’t say, ‘I’m succeeding.’

‘I gained almost a hundred thousand followers a day. At first I was in serious denial,” Roan admitted.

During her interview with Rolling Stone, she talked about fans, saying, “I don’t want to be agoraphobic. That’s (how) most of my peers (feel). Every damn artist is on this page.”

“Everyone feels uncomfortable around fans. Some people just have more patience. I fucking don’t.’

And while speaking to Interview Magazine last month, she also admitted that she didn’t care about becoming a success in the music industry.

At one point she said: ‘For example, my career means nothing anymore now that I have a good album and song. If anything, I’m like, ‘F*** you guys for not seeing what really matters.’

‘A card is so fleeting. Everyone’s leaving the charts. I’m like, ‘This is a parting gift.'”

Chappell added, “But everyone graduates. The farewell celebration doesn’t really matter, and that’s about what I’m feeling like right now. I’m like, ‘Cool. Maybe I’m a valedictorian, but it’s weird that we’re graduating and everyone’s moving away, so….”

Elsewhere in the Rolling Stone interview, the singer opened up about her mental health and how therapy has helped her.

‘I realized that I can’t live like this. I can’t live being so depressed or feeling so lost that I want to kill myself.”

“I just got everything together… I couldn’t have done this today even a year ago. It just would have been too much.”
