“I feel ambitious about doing this sustainably. That’s my biggest goal right now. I tell myself: quit now, quit next year,” she said.
Roan raised concerns about the culture of burnout and excessive workload that is prevalent in the industry, saying, “This f—— industry and art thrives on mental illness, burnout, overwork, overexertion, no sleep. The older you get, the more unhealthy you are. Is that bad?”
The “HOT TO GO!” singer recounted a disturbing incident involving a fan at the airport who aggressively demanded an autograph and yelled at her when she refused to sign it, telling the magazine, “I knew they weren’t fans. I said no. I said, ‘I don’t sign anything at the airport, I’m sorry.'”
Roan later revealed that the fan followed her to the TSA area and started yelling at her and people started looking at her.
In fact, the fan “He was like, ‘You should really be more humble. Do you know where you’re from? Don’t forget where you came from.’ I was just like, ‘What the hell is going on? ‘”
She swore that if things got dangerous, she would give up all her success.
“I told myself, if this gets dangerous, I can quit. Now it’s dangerous, and I’m still going to keep going. But that’s not what I signed up for.”

Roan also touched on the negative aspects of being in the spotlight, likening it to being abused.
“The feeling of this — stalking, online gossip, [people who] Not leaving you alone, yelling at you in public — that’s the hallmark of an abusive ex-husband.”
“That’s how I feel. I didn’t know it could feel this bad.”
From the very beginning, the trend of complaining about Roan’s popularity was noticed by many social media users.

However, it seems many of them have now begun to grasp the essence of her message.
According to X user @Actrezarchives, “Chappell Roan’s perspective on fame highlights a profound but often overlooked aspect of celebrity life.”
“Fame can indeed come with its own cruel and invasive nature, just like an abusive relationship. The constant scrutiny and harassment can be overwhelming and isolating, which makes it important for us to recognize and address these challenges that public figures face.”
@arttavana also said, “She’s not wrong – everyone knows this post – #FreeBritney – so why bother touching it? If fame is your abuser, why do everything you can – for almost a decade – to stick with something that ‘feels like an abusive ex-husband?'”
“She’s absolutely right! Some celebrities take that abuse quicker than others, but that doesn’t take away from her feelings!” @EILISHTHECRTR added, while @IamAshendra wrote, “It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed by the negative side of fame. It can definitely be invasive and harsh.”
