R&B musician Eric Benét has criticized celebrities, particularly Chappell Roan, for their disrespecting behavior towards their fans. Benét stated that he cannot stand celebrities who shame people who admire them. He suggested that fans should stop consuming music and buying products from the artists in question. This comes amid controversy surrounding an incident where a security guard allegedly yelled at an 11-year-old girl for walking past Roan and smiling at him. Roan's rep denied the incident, stating that she did not direct her personal security or anyone on her team to interact with them.
