Chappell Roan has had enough.
The "Hot to Go!" singer, 26, spoke out in a two-part TikTok on Monday against abuse and harassment she says she has experienced from fans.
In the first of two clips, Roan asked viewers to consider if they would treat a "random woman on the street" the way people have been treating her recently. While posing a series of questions about how viewers would act toward a stranger, she indicated that fans have yelled at her from car windows, harassed her in public, bullied her, stalked her family and gotten mad at her for not wanting to take photos.
Roan urged these fans to remember she is just a "random" person despite her fame.
"I don't care that abuse and harassment, stalking, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous, or a little famous," she said. "I don't care that it's normal. I don't care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the job, the career field I've chosen. That does not make it OK."

The "Good Luck, Babe!" singer continued by slamming those who feel "entitled" to a celebrity's time, saying she doesn't care if fans think it's "selfish" for her to say no to a photo or a hug.
"That's not normal," she said. "That's weird. It's weird how people think that you know a person just because you see them online or you listen to the art they make."
She concluded, "I'm allowed to say no to creepy behavior."
Chappell Roanmay have made history at Lollapalooza with 'biggest set of all time'
The message comes as Roan's 2023 album "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" has been experiencing a surge in popularity this year, recently reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. After she performed at Lollapalooza this month, a spokesperson for the festival told USA TODAY it was the "biggest daytime set we've ever seen." Roan also performed at Coachella in April and opened for Olivia Rodrigo on her Guts tour.

But on the "Comment Section" podcast in July, the singer said she has eased up on trying to become more famous because certain fans have behaved like "freaks" by following her and tracking down where her parents live and where her sister works.
"This is the time when, a few years ago, that I said if (there were) stalker vibes, family was in danger, is when I would quit, and we're there," she said. "We're there. I've pumped the brakes on anything to make me more known."
In June, Roan got emotional during a performance by telling fans she felt "a little off" and was "having a hard time" because her career has "gone really fast, and it's really hard to keep up."
