Soon afterward, Chappell followed up with an Instagram post reiterating her stance, explaining that she is “not in work mode” when living her day-to-day life.
And in a new interview with Rolling Stone, Chappell provided some wider context to her statements as she detailed just how intense her fan interactions had become.
After that incident, a fan grabbed and kissed Chappell without her consent when she was out celebrating a friend’s birthday at a bar. That same night, she learned that her dad’s phone number had leaked online, and someone had called him.
Orville Peck, Troye Sivan, Noah Kahan, and Elton make up the smaller list of male artists to reach out and offer their support — with Elton almost being ghosted by Chappell when he called her from “a random iCloud number” 11 times in five days, with Chappell assuming that he was a fan who’d got hold of her details.
