Chappell Roan found herself at the center of attention during a heated exchange with a photographer on the black carpet at the 2024 MTV VMAs in New York. Dressed in a bold Joan of Arc-inspired outfit, complete with a sword, Roan was having her ensemble adjusted when tensions flared. A photographer reportedly yelled, “Shut the f–k up,” prompting Roan to snap back, “You shut the f–k up!” and further added, “No! Not me, b—h!”
The incident quickly went viral on social media, sparking a wave of fan reactions. While some criticized her behavior, labeling her as “annoying” and “unprofessional,” others defended her, praising her for standing up for herself. One fan stated, “You could never make me hate her,” while another added, “Love seeing her defend herself.”
Katy Perry, who was present at the scene, even joked about “adopting” Chappell, which only fueled more fan reactions. Many expressed their protective instincts toward Roan, urging Perry to keep her distance.
Roan’s striking black and mesh dress, paired with gloves, a green cloak, and a bold cross necklace, turned heads as she walked the carpet. Her sleek ponytail and perfectly styled bangs completed the look, earning her applause from fans who admired her fashion choices.
The exchange, along with Roan’s eye-catching outfit, ensured she remained the talk of the night, cementing her status as a rising pop star to watch.
