CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

September 21, 2024 JMG Community, Open Thread

Deadline reports:

Singer Chappell Roan has revealed she’s been diagnosed with severe depression and is in therapy, after receiving a backlash from some fans about her attitude towards her growing profile.

Roan currently has six songs in the US Hot 100, three in UK Top 40 music chart following the release of her debut album last year, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. She received this year’s award for Best New Artist at the MTV VMA Awards, but has received criticism for her complaints about her lack of privacy as she becomes ever more well-known.

She told The Guardian newspaper she now took twice-weekly therapy sessions, and was diagnosed last week with severe depression.

If you’re unfamiliar with Roan, some of her songs feature frank depictions of lesbian sex – including the use of sex toys – and tens of thousands of teenage girls joyously sing along to every word.

Pink Pony Club, in particular has been adopted as an LGBTQ anthem and is often covered on TikTok by other queer artists, including by the New York Gay Men’s Chorus.

Hot To Go comes with its own YMCA-style dance and Roan gives a tutorial on the dance in her live shows.
