Jewel Supports Chappell Roan’s Call for Fan Boundaries Amid Harassment

Singer-songwriter Jewel has come forward in support of Chappell Roan after the rising pop star shared her concerns about invasive fan behavior.
Roan, who recently hit No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Good Luck, Babe!,” opened up about her experiences with “predatory behavior” from some fans in a lengthy social media post. She explained that after years of dedicated work to build her music career, she’s had to draw clear boundaries to protect herself from uncomfortable and often creepy interactions.
“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 s—,” Roan wrote on Instagram.
Jewel, best known for her ’90s hit “You Were Meant for Me,” expressed her support for the “Hot To Go!” singer in a TikTok video, where she shared her own experiences with overzealous fans.
“I am weighing in on Chappell Roan, the drama of it all. I saw that she had to turn off her comments because of her recent post just saying being stalked and having people grab you in public isn’t OK as a celebrity,” Jewel said.
“I learned with time that I could talk to my fans and say ‘you can’t come within six feet of me.’”
Jewel noted importance of compassion and understanding, regardless of someone’s fame. “I’m proud of what you’re doing. And everybody, I hope you all know that everybody is worthy of compassion. Even if you’re rich. Even if you’re famous,” she added.
Roan’s original post also seemed to resonate with Paramore’s Hayley Williams, who shared it on her own Instagram Story, stating, “This happens to every woman I know from this business, myself included. Social media has made this worse. I’m really thankful Chappell is willing to address it in a real way, in real time. It’s brave and unfortunately necessary.”
Roan, whose debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess recently peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, further urged fans to respect her privacy in her posts, “Please stop touching me. Please stop being weird to my family and friends. Please stop assuming things about me.”
Alongside her current success on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Good Luck, Babe!,” Roan has multiple singles charting, including “Pink Pony Club” and “Casual.” Jewel, meanwhile, saw “Foolish Games” and “You Were Meant for Me” both reach No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1997.
