Chappell Roan Confronts Paris Paparazzi as Noah Kahan Defends and Boy George Tells Her to 'Cheer Up'

A viral onlooker video has renewed debate over celebrity boundaries and professional autograph resellers, and Roan has not posted her own footage or commented.

Overview

  • Outside a Paris restaurant during Fashion Week, Roan filmed photographers and autograph seekers she said were following her, telling them to stop harassing her and refusing to sign.
  • Noah Kahan backed Roan on Instagram, labeling the autograph hunters as profit-driven “scalpers” and urging people not to mistake them for fans.
  • Boy George posted that Roan should “own your fame” and “cheer up,” calling boundaries “boring,” which drew swift criticism from social media users.
  • Coverage notes Roan’s established stance on privacy and consent, citing her 2024 statements against harassment and past red-carpet confrontations that won support from peers such as Miley Cyrus and Daniel Craig.
  • Reports indicate Roan has not shared the video she recorded or issued a statement, as online reactions remain split over what celebrities owe in public spaces.
