Chappell Roan Now@ChappellRoanNow
We don’t wish to spread personal details about Chappell’s life, but the public smear campaign occurring is too overwhelming to not highlight a few key things:
- People from all different walks of life live in trailer parks. Working people of all different backgrounds. Equating residency in a mobile home to poverty is implicitly classist, especially when you refer to it as “white trash.” It’s also not lost on us that many of you seem to think living in a trailer implies dysfunction or financial illiteracy. These are bigoted assumptions.
- It has been corroborated by Missouri locals that Chappell did, in fact, live in a trailer park when she was younger. See the photo below.
- Chappell has only ever referred to herself as “poor” when she is speaking about the point in her life when she was struggling to make it independently as an adult. During this time, she worked several odd jobs and moved back to Missouri from LA. Do those seem like the actions of someone who’s filthy rich to you? She has never tried to represent her upbringing as something that it wasn’t, and many of you are forgetting that she was 26 when she really blew up as an artist — it’s very unlikely that she was being financially supported by her parents that entire time…
- Obviously, her grandfather being wealthy does NOT speak to her immediate family’s wealth… which would be how she experienced life.
This is yet another flimsy attempt at manufacturing hate towards Chappell, and unfortunately many are going to fall for it, uncritically.
