Chappell Roan Calls Photographer on MTV VMA Red Carpet

Chappell Roan asserted herself at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards after a violent confrontation.

Roan, who makes his performance debut at the awards show tonight, posed on the red carpet in medieval-inspired attire. In a clip shared by Show tonighta photographer appeared to tell her to “shut the fuck up” after she turned away from the camera. The “Hot To Go” singer quickly responded, telling the photographer, “Shut the fuck up!” She added, “Don't do that! I don't, bitch!” Someone in the background could be heard cheering her on, commenting, “Say it, girl!”

When asked about the accident by a Show tonight reporter, Roan explained, “It's pretty overwhelming and pretty scary. I think for someone who has… a lot of… anxiety when people are yelling at you… the carpet is horrible.”

Roan added: “And I need to… I screamed back. I screamed back! You can't scream at me like that!”

Last month, the pop star asserted her boundaries on social media after experiencing alarming behavior from people claiming to be her fans. “I've been relentlessly building my project for the past 10 years and it's gotten to the point where I need to draw lines and set boundaries. I want to be an artist for a long, long time,” she wrote in a seven-slide post shared on Instagram.

She continued, “I have had too many non-consensual physical and social interactions and I just need to say that and remind you that women don't owe you anything. I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child, I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path, nor do I deserve it.”

In the caption, Roan noted, “If you see me as a bitch or ungrateful or if my whole statement is upsetting to you, baby, it's you… you need to look inside yourself and ask yourself 'wait, why am I so upset by this? Why is a girl expressing her fears and limitations so infuriating?'”
