For the past 10 years I’ve been going non-stop to build my project and it’s come to the point that I need to draw lines and set boundaries,” Roan shared in her heartfelt post on Instagram. Now, this isn’t the first time she’s spoken up about the dark side of fame.

Just last week, she called out these so-called “superfans” in a couple of TikTok videos for their downright “creepy behavior.” The situation has gotten so bad that Roan, who’s clearly had enough, stated: “I’ve been in too many nonconsensual physical and social interactions and I just need to lay it out and remind you, women don’t owe you sh*t.”

Roan’s message is clear — just because she chose a life in the spotlight doesn’t mean she’s open for harassment. “I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child,” she continued. “I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path, nor do I deserve it.”

The pop star went on to say that her stance has “nothing to do with the gratitude and love” she feels for her supportive fans. Nope, this is all about those who think their “superfan” status gives them a free pass to cross boundaries.

In fact, Roan believes that this kind of behavior has become so normalized because of how women, particularly well-known ones, have been treated in the past. Sound familiar? It’s the same old story of entitlement — just dressed up in a new, more disturbing outfit.

Roan’s statement is a powerful reminder that fame doesn’t erase a person’s right to feel safe and respected. “Understand this: I embrace the success of the project, the love I feel, and the gratitude that I have,” she said.

What I do not accept are creepy people, being touched, and being followed.” And, honestly, who could argue with that? All she wants is to “love [her] life, be outside, giggle with [her] friends, go to the movie theater, feel safe, and do all the things every single person deserves to do.
