she is so stunning
Shes so real.
“i’ve been famous for one month, this is not how it’s gonna go.” 😭 she is so real for that.
chappell keeping on doing your thing, you are empowering so many people to do the simple action of asserting their needs & boundaries and in this life, so many people will truly run over you without a second thought unless you fight back. fuck demure, fuck mindful when it comes to basic human decency. people just get easily shook by feminine rage, get over it
tries for years to get famous on month into being famous complains that she hates ppl coming up to her, and acts incredibly ungrateful for her fans, and acts surprised fans come up to her even tho she worked for this for a decade
Zita Drives
she is horrible
Yh the photographers are always shouting at the artists it’s so disrespectful
Im so proud of chappel for standing up for herself paparazzi can be so cruel.
She's annoying.
Omg zero talent
no girl standup for yourself alwayyysssss
I bought her CD 💿 and have been playing it endlessly. As Lesbian woman in Queens, NYC, her songs and VERY relatable. I felt seen in her album 🎶🙋🏽♀️🎉💯🏳️🌈🤙🏽🎊
I’m not a big fan of her music but she really deserved the praise for her VMAs performance and also her live vocals – it was impressive
she's so endearing
i'm so glad she's doing better and getting harassed way less, she was brave for standing up to the creepy fans
Good interview
omg i could listen to her talk for hours
Only cuz it’s „common“ for paparazzi to do that does not mean she has to accept it. 🎉👏🏻
The fact that she told him "FXCK YOU!"
We Are So Proud Of You Girl!!!
go for all the drag queens
We all saw what happened to britney and all the other 90’s/2000’s artists that took all the abuse. It’s refreshing to see and artist stand up for themselves and not be forced to accept the status quo
Voting for the vmas and her actually winning takes the cake vs voting for who’s the next president of usa lol (USA USA)
But ayyy 🩵🖤🏴☠️
Who’s going to chapelle roan October 4th concert ! First entry 7th & Minneapolis !
“Poor little me, I got too famous” is getting a little tired dear…

Her award so well deserved. After being suffering and taking hardship to round her rent, she is the vivid demonstration that perseverance and hard work could make your American Dream true.

Yelling back at rude people and hitting traffic cones. She's so relatable
