Chappell Roan has chastised fans who feel "entitled" to harass and stalk her.

The Pink Pony Club star, real name Kayleigh Amstutz, took to TikTok on Monday to speak out against people who think they have the right to follow her every move just because she is in the public eye.

To begin, Chappell argued fans wouldn't pursue her the same way if she was a random person walking down the street.

"I need you to answer questions, just answer my questions for a second: If you saw a random woman on the street, would you yell at her from your car window? Would you harass her in public? Would you go up to a random lady and say, 'Can I take a photo with you?' and she says 'No, what the f**k?' and then you get mad at this random lady?" she asked. "Would you be offended if she says no to your time because she has her own time? 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 online about her is true? I'm a random b**ch, you're a random b**ch. Just think about that for a second, OK?"

Chappell went on to note that her message wasn't directed at someone specific.

And she insisted it's not acceptable for fans to corner her or her family members.

"I don't care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little famous, whatever. 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, that doesn't make it normal. That doesn't mean that I want it, that doesn't mean that I like it," the 26-year-old fired. "I don't want whatever the f**k you think you're supposed to be entitled to whenever you see a celebrity. I don't give a f**k if you think it's selfish of me to say no for a photo or for your time or 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 and you listen to the art they make. That's f**king weird! I'm allowed to say no to creepy behaviour, OK?"

Last month, Chappell opened up about her rise to fame following the release of her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess in September 2023.

In an interview for The Comment Section podcast, the star admitted she's now too "self-conscious" to "frolic" in public.

"(I miss) being in a Forever 21 and not being judged," she mused. "I'm in disguise most of the time. But like, I miss just walking around being by myself. I guess being by myself is (what) I miss."
