Women do not owe you a reason why they don’t want to be touched or talked to.”
The “Femininomenon” singer clarified that she remains grateful for her supporters.
The singerpreviously expressedthe overwhelming nature of her whirlwind success at a concert in Raleigh, N.C., in June.
“I just want to be honest with the crowd,” she announced on stage.
I’m just being honest that I’m just having a hard time today.
I’m not trying to give you a lesser show, it’s just, there’s a lot.
Thank you for understanding.
This is all I’ve ever wanted.
It’s just heavy sometimes.”
“What I do not accept are creepy people, being touched, and being followed.”
She then likened her circumstances to those of women who’ve been targets of sexual harassment.
Roan lamented the everyday activities that she feels are now out of reach.
“c’mon stop touching me.
like stop being weird to my family and friends.
just stop assuming things about me.
There is always more to the story.
I am scared and tired.
And c’mon don’t call me Kayleigh.
I feel more love than I ever have in my life.
I feel the most unsafe I have ever felt in my life.”
“This isn’t a group conversation.”
“I’m not afraid of the consequences for demanding respect.
Just to let you know, every woman is feeling or has felt similar to what I’m experiencing.
This isn’t a new situation.
Why is a girl expressing her fears and boundaries so infuriating?'
That is all.”
Roan previously made waves for expressing similar sentimentsin a TikTokearlier this week.
“I’m allowed to say no to creepy behavior.”
