Chappell Roan DOUBLES DOWN on election comments after backlash over 'not endorsing' Kamala Harris

As a seasoned observer of the dynamic world of entertainment, I find myself deeply moved by the poignant narrative of Chappell, the up-and-coming singer grappling with her sudden rise to fame. Her journey mirrors that of many who’ve tasted stardom unexpectedly – the thrill of adoration, the weight of expectations, and the struggle to maintain a semblance of normalcy amidst an ever-spinning whirlwind of attention.


After receiving criticism for failing to publicly support a particular candidate, Chappell Roan reiterated her previous statements regarding the election.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, allow me to share my recent insights. Yesterday morning, I hopped on TikTok to set the record straight about my political views. Though I’ve decided to cast my vote for Kamala Harris, I want to make it clear that this isn’t an official endorsement. To put it plainly, if you find my stance confusing, then perhaps we have a communication gap that needs addressing.

She added: ‘Endorsing and voting are completely different and I don’t agree with a lot of what is going on with policies, like obviously f*** the policies on the right… but also f*** some of the policies on the left.

I’m unable to support it entirely, as I can’t associate my full identity or my complete work with something that I can’t wholeheartedly back up due to its blatantly transphobic and genocidal stances. Both sides have significant issues.

Later on, the popular music artist voiced disappointment towards both Donald Trump and specific moves made by the Democratic Party, claiming that they’ve failed to deliver for individuals similar to herself.

I won’t accept the current choices; instead, I’ll cast my vote for Kamala Harris because I find her appealing, but I won’t compromise or settle for anything that seems dubious.

‘I’m critiquing both sides ’cause they’re both so f***** up.’

She captioned the clip, ‘And im not forcing you to agree with me. This is my statement. Have a good day.’

The article was published within 24 hours of her explaining on TikTok that the statements about elections in her recent conversation with The Guardian had been misrepresented.

As a lifestyle guide, I find myself often reflecting on the complexities of today’s choices. Recently, I found myself in a position where I chose not to openly endorse a particular candidate, and instead acknowledged that there are issues on both sides. This decision was met with criticism from some fans, but it’s important for me to maintain my personal integrity while navigating the political landscape.

In the course of the approximately three-minute long video, Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, also known as Roan, clarified, ‘If you’re still uncertain, listen directly to me: I am not supporting Trump in the election.’

Absolutely, I’ll never hesitate to challenge leaders and decision-makers affecting others, standing firm on principles and values that matter most. These ideals are always at the heart of every project I undertake.

Besides clarifying her point, she added, “I’ve always advocated for the application of critical thinking, understanding the propositions to vote on, knowing the candidates, and asking queries. However, as expected, this message is being misconstrued again.

In my interviews, there are subtleties in what I express, and I believe it’s crucial for individuals to apply careful analysis when interpreting my statements.

Chappell stated, “I believe it’s crucial for me to challenge established power, scrutinize global leaders, examine my own beliefs, analyze my algorithm, and verify the authenticity of information shared on social media.

‘It’s important to question because that’s how I think we move forward,’ the performer continued. 

This marks my third time participating in an election, as the world undergoes swift transformations at an unprecedented pace. My desire is to be a member of the generation that brings about positive change.

Later on, Roan expressed to his audience, “If you attend my performances, delve into my comprehensive interviews, or simply have a basic understanding of my beliefs, it’s clear that what I’m expressing isn’t just empty words.

“I’m not just showing off by saying this, but the choices I’ve made throughout my career have directly contributed to the success of my projects, and those close to me are well aware of this.

She further explained, ‘Actions speak louder than words and actions speak louder than an endorsement.’

The viral TikTok video, now watched by 2.2 million people, was posted following a wave of fan disapproval towards the singer, who refused to support any presidential candidate during an interview with The Guardian that went public last Friday.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, allow me to express my sentiments candidly: I find myself grappling with numerous concerns regarding our current governance system from various aspects. It’s essential for me to voice that I yearn for a multitude of changes in the way our government functions and serves its citizens.

She added she ‘doesn’t feel pressured to endorse someone’ because ‘there’s problems on both sides.’

As a fervent admirer, let me passionately implore you all: Exercise your sharp intellect and critical faculties! Don’t forget the power you hold; cast your vote – make it count, support local issues, vote for what resonates within your city.

She added her top issue is trans rights, because ‘they cannot have cis people making decisions for trans people, period.’ 

Supporters expressed their displeasure about her choice through X, stating: “I’m a big fan of Chapel, but this one is hard to accept due to its lack of intellectual depth.

Another wrote: ‘every time Chappell opens her mouth again she gets worse and worse.’

‘how can you be part of the LGBTQ+ community and have tone deaf s**t like this to say so loudly.’

“If Chappell had chosen different words, it would have significantly strengthened her argument.

I wholeheartedly stand by Chappell, as I passionately believe that she hasn’t done anything to warrant such criticism. I can’t help but exclaim: “The online community needs to cease harassing Chappell! Oh my goodness, she didn’t even say anything controversial!” In fact, I find myself growing weary of the negativity surrounding her, expressing my sentiments with: “I’m absolutely fed up with the Chappell backlash.

Previously, Harris demonstrated her fondness for Roan by incorporating her song, “Femininomenon,” into a promotional video she created.

In June, Roan announced to the audience at a Governor’s Ball festival in New York that she had chosen not to accept an invitation for a performance at a White House Pride celebration.

She said, ‘We want liberty, justice and freedom for all. When you do that, that’s when I’ll come.’

Last week, musical duo Billie Eilish and her sibling collaborator Finneas O’Connell publicly endorsed Kamala Harris as their preferred candidate for the 2024 U.S. presidency.

Meanwhile Trump has received a controversial endorsement from NFL WAG, Brittany Mahomes. And most recently, motor sports legend, Danica Patrick, also revealed her endorsement for Trump.

Roan recently threated to quit the industry over unwanted attention. 

Chappell, who attends therapy sessions two times a week due to handling her recent fame, confessed that her diagnosis of depression took her by surprise since she doesn’t experience feelings of sadness in the traditional sense.

As a conscientious individual, I openly share that I attend therapy sessions not once but twice a week. Last week, I found myself seeking the guidance of a psychiatrist, expressing my feelings of confusion and uncertainty about my current state.

As a devoted admirer, I was shocked to learn that I’d been identified as suffering from severe depression – something I never suspected given my lack of constant sorrow. Yet, upon reflection, I realized that each symptom I exhibit aligns strikingly with those of someone grappling with deep-rooted depression.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d share my personal experience by saying: “I’ve been grappling with some challenging symptoms lately – brain fog, memory lapses, and struggling to maintain focus. Additionally, I find myself viewing things with less enthusiasm than usual.

She commented, “I believe the reason is that my entire life has undergone a transformation. The things I cherish most require extra considerations now. For instance, if I wish to visit a thrift store, I must arrange for security and accept that this won’t feel ordinary anymore.

I want to go to the park for some exercise like Pilates or Yoga. How can I do this safely without worrying about being stalked or harassed?

The singer elaborated, expressing her belief that the drastic shifts in her life recently have been the source of her troubles.

Her recent interview follows an incident during last week’s VMAs red carpet, where she responded to a photographer who had shouted inappropriate remarks while she was adjusting her clothes. The photographer said “shut the f*** up.

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 also took to TikTok to slam fans who cross her boundaries.
