The thing about Chapel Rome that bugs me is that she is pretending like nothing is supposed to change when her level of

0:22.0

fame changes. Yes, people encroach upon your space and that's bad, but people have been

0:27.7

speculating about celebs for over a century. I actually think it's super sane and sleigh of

0:34.4

Chapel Roan to repeatedly put her foot down about stalkers and explicitly

0:38.2

outline the way she would like to be treated by fans in order to do her best artistic work

0:43.1

and preserve her health. I hope people respect her boundaries.

0:47.4

You are all starting to treat Chapel Rome like you did Mitzky and soon we'll never hear from

0:52.5

her again and it's all your fault.

0:54.9

Chapel's been famous for 10 minutes and she's moaning about her fans wanting a picture with her.

famous. Also, like, the level in which she rose to super pop stardom was literally unheard of

1:33.6

for the most part. I like her music a lot, but I fear she's, like, chosen the wrong career. I'm

1:40.8

not blaming her at all, and the way that people stalk celebrities is insane and shouldn't be tolerated.

1:47.2

However, like, hating on the regular fans who happen to run into you and simply ask for a picture, or just to say hi?

1:56.1

A reminder, since many seem to forget, the amount of psychological damage fame had on Gaga,

2:01.9

Chapel may not be at the level of fame Gaga was during her peak, but she has every right to draw

2:06.6

the hard line for fans so that she can preserve her own sanity.

2:10.9

Excuse me. Everyone has to realize Chapel Rhone has been cursed with a fan base of teenage
