Chappell Roan has bravely come forward to share a firm message to people and how they treat celebrities.
The 26-year-old American singer, best known for her incredible tracks 'Good Luck, Babe!' 'Femininomenon' and 'Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl', has taken to social media to blast her 'creepy' fans for 'harassing' both herself and her family.
Chappell shared two videos to her three million followers on TikTok explaining her experiences being 'bullied' online and challenged the assumption that this 'crazy' kind of 'abuse' is widely considered 'normal' in her career field.

The two videos have already reached up to 11 million views between them, with the first beginning: "If you saw a random woman on the street, would you yell at her from the car window?
"Would you harass her in public? Would you go up to a random lady and say, 'Can I get a photo with you?' And she's like, 'No, what the f*ck'."
The 'Casual' singer continued: "And then you get mad at this random lady? "Would you be offended if she says no to your time because she has her own time? Would you would you stalk her family?
"Would you follow her around? Would you try to dissect her life and bully her online?
"This is a lady you don't know and she doesn't know you at all. Would you assume that she's a good person? Assume she's a bad person? Would you assume everything you read about her online is true?"
She finished up: "I'm a random b*tch. You're a random b*tch. Just think about that for a second. Okay?"
In her second video, Chappell carried on: "I don't care that abuse and harassment, stalker, whatever is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little famous.
"I don't care that it's normal. I don't care that this crazy type of behaviour comes along with the job, the career field I've chosen. That does not make it OK."
Chappell stated: "That doesn't make it normal. It doesn't mean I want it, doesn't mean that I like it. I don't want whatever the f*ck you think you're supposed to be entitled to whenever you see a celebrity.
"I don't give a f*ck if you think it's selfish for me to say no for a photo or for your time or to for a hug. That's not normal. 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. That's f*cking weird. I'm allowed to say no to creepy behaviour. Okay?"
She captioned the second clip: "Do not assume this is directed at someone or a specific encounter. This is just my side of the story and my feelings."
