Chappell Roan confronts photographer at Olivia Rodrigo’s film premiere for alleged rude behavior

Chappell Roan put your foot down.

On Friday, October 25, the “Bitter” singer, 26, had a red carpet showdown with a familiar face at Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour world premiere at nya EAST studios in Los Angeles.

However, it was far from a friendly reunion.

“You were so disrespectful to me at the Grammys,” the singer could be heard saying in one video shared on social media as he approached the photographer.

“You yelled at me at the Grammy party. Yes, I remember. You were so rude to me. And I deserve an apology for that. You must apologize to me,” said Roan.

It’s unclear from the video if the “Good Luck, Babe” artist received her apology, but another member of her team could be seen trying to intervene before the clip ended.

Friday’s incident comes just over a month after Roan had it another situation on the red carpet.

On September 11, she attended the VMAs red carpet pre-show at the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York, where she was MTV VMAs 2024 nominated.

Her special night soon turned into a spectacle when the videos were widely shared by fans X (formerly Twitter) showed the visibly upset pop star after someone on the carpet was heard to say “Shut the hell up”.

“You shut the hell up,” Roan replied, pointing in the person’s direction.

Variety he also shared the video, but from a different angle of the interaction and was able to identify the person he replied to as the photographer.

A few seconds later, Roan stepped back to gather himself and fix his outfit, adding, “No. Not me, bitch!”

The “My Kink Is Karma” singer took to the red carpet to address the incident, recounting Entertainment tonight her side of the story.

“This is pretty overwhelming and pretty scary. I think for someone who gets a lot of anxiety around people yelling at you, the carpet is terrifying,” Roan told the media. “And I yelled back. I yelled back! You can’t yell at me like that.”

“My apologies to those who have been waiting to see me in NYC and DC this weekend at All Things Go, but I can’t perform. Things have gotten overwhelming these past few weeks and I can really feel it,” Roan wrote on her Instagram stories at the time.

“I feel pressured to prioritize a lot of things right now and I need a few days to prioritize my health,” she continued. “I want to be present when I perform and give the best performances possible. Thank you for your understanding. Come back soon, xox.”
