After a very public and emotional incident last year, Chappell Roan and her team are implementing new guidelines for handling red carpet events to prevent a similar situation from happening again.
To avoid upsetting the Grammy-winning artist at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a staff member warned photographers to be mindful of their actions just before Roan arrived on the red carpet.
In the video, a woman says, “Chappell is on her way. Please don’t shout at her, or she’ll go. Everyone, be quiet, polite, and smile.”
Some photographers laughed at the instruction, but it appeared to have its intended effect.
As Roan walked onto the red carpet, she noticed something different – the reporters were unusually quiet and polite.
The pre-event warning came after Roan’s past red-carpet blowups went viral.
During the 2024 MTV VMAs, she had a heated exchange with a photographer. After he yelled an expletive at her, she strongly retorted with an equally explicit response, telling him to be quiet and directing a harsh insult at him.
At the opening night of Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour, she confronted a photographer, claiming he had been disrespectful to her at the Grammys.
She told him he had been very rude and that she deserved an apology. She asked him to apologize to her.
Knowing what happened in the past, fans quickly realized why her team was likely establishing some clear expectations this time.
One viewer pointed out how respectfully the players treated Chappell following the warning, suggesting it had the desired effect.
Still, the incident sparked an online firestorm, with many calling Roan’s new rules extreme.
Critics accused the rising star of becoming ‘insufferable.’
People had different opinions of her. Some accused her of being motivated by money and fame, while others dismissed her as unremarkable, suggesting she simply sought attention and understood that public scrutiny is part of being in the public eye.
Someone complained that the group wasn’t shouting at the woman, but were just trying to catch her eye for a photo, as there were already many photographers present.
One person dismissed her, saying she wasn’t on Madonna’s level, and others criticized her, claiming she’s overpaid and has a bad attitude.
Some people doubted she would remain popular for long, with one person commenting that she was ‘too much’ and wouldn’t stay famous for very long.
Many fans quickly supported Roan, praising her for standing up for herself in a notoriously chaotic and disrespectful setting.
One person commented on the situation, asking if others were seeing the result of someone advocating for themselves. Another user pointed out that the person clearly asked to be treated with respect, and that request was honored.
Those who defended Roan said she wasn’t acting demanding or difficult, but simply requesting respectful and humane treatment.
Honestly, it really bothers me when people try to paint someone as difficult for simply wanting basic respect. I’ve seen this happen a lot, and it’s usually just about someone asking to be treated like a human being – not yelled at or spoken down to. It’s not a diva move, it’s a perfectly normal request for common courtesy, and it’s frustrating to see it framed otherwise.
I’ve been seeing so much support for her, and it’s amazing. People are saying she’s really shown everyone how to demand the respect you deserve. It’s also a great reminder to photographers that being kind to the people they photograph – the ones who are essentially helping them earn a living – is just the right thing to do.
One commenter argued, ‘If they can’t be polite, they should have their credentials pulled.’
Fans also called for industry-wide change.
One person wondered why the company didn’t issue a general instruction to treat all customers with respect. They felt the recent situation with this particular customer should have prompted a policy change for everyone, instead of just receiving extra kindness towards her.
Someone else put it concisely: ‘Everyone should just be kind, but it’s good to see Chappell sticking up for themselves. You could have a much worse reputation.’
