the translator of Hyps don’t lie left a nightclub stage on Sunday, September 15 after noticing a fan filming under her dress. He has become the latest in a series of personalities who no longer hesitate to rebel against the intrusive behavior of their fans.
The scene deeply shocked the Internet users. at the beginning of September this year TMZ has revealed a video in which a fan lunges at Angelina Jolie for a hug, escaping the vigilance of the star’s bodyguards. Four months ago, actress Anya Taylor-Joy also found herself in an unfortunate situation. Having just arrived at Nice airport on the eve of the Cannes Film Festival, the heroine Furiosa was then criticized by fans and paparazzi alike. “Please, sir,” she said to one of them a little too insistently. Before getting into the taxi, her face was still unbearable.
Stubborn
Excesses that some celebrities are now choosing to rebel against. Like Shakira, who stormed off the stage at Miami’s LIV nightclub on Sunday, September 15. When he sang the song Solterrathe singer actually noticed the audience filming under her dress with her phone. A sequence revealed in X in which we don’t see the fan in question.

Another video of the previous day made a big noise on TikTok. In these pictures shared by @trini180528, Spanish singer Rosalia poses with a fan while out and about in New York. The latter puts his hand on the artist’s hip. When she discreetly tries to push him away, the man insists. And Rosalia moves it a second time, noticeably nervous.
“You shut up”
The observation is clear: celebrities no longer hesitate to set boundaries with their followers. Even if it means being especially tight. Such is the case with Chappelle Roan, the new queer pop star. Arriving on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday (September 11), the 26-year-old American cut off a photographer who was yelling at an unidentified person to “shut up.” “Shut up,” the musician replied, pointing a fingernail at the person in question.
The photographer then throws an inaudible rant at him, to which Chappell Roan replies, “No. I’m not, bitch.” New proof that when faced with rudeness from fans, personalities are willing to bare their claws, regardless of the consequences to their image. Three weeks ago, the singer also took to Instagram to criticize this kind of disrespectful exchange.
“Drawn Boundaries”
“I’ve spent the last ten years non-stop building my project, and I’m getting to the point where I have to draw boundaries and set boundaries (…”), he wrote at the time. I’ve experienced too much physical and social interaction. , and I just have to say and remind you that women don’t owe you anything.”
Condemning the “harassment”, which is “not deserved”, the singer added: “When I’m on stage, when I’m performing, when I’m in drag, when I’m at a professional event, when I’m talking to the press… I’m working. (…) I do not agree with the idea that I exchange energy, time or attention to people who owe me, whom I do not know, trust or fear, just because they express their admiration”.
And the young woman continued. “I welcome the success of this project, the love I feel and the gratitude I feel. What I don’t accept are shady people, being stalked or stalked. Please stop touching me. Stop being weird around my family and friends. Stop calling me Kaylee!’
“Cannon fodder for their Insta feed”
Recent abuses of rich and famous are truly legion. Like this fan who interrupts Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s party for a selfie, or the one who stalks Dua Lipa to take a picture of her before the bodyguard flies off her phone. Phoebe Bridgers has told how a follower publicly criticized her for refusing to take a selfie as she attended her father’s funeral. In short, the cup is full.
Fatigue that has not escaped the British media. “In 2024, we have forgotten how to communicate with celebrities,” he laments The Independent reminding us that stars are people too who “deserve attention, respect and privacy.” “Social media has blurred the lines between fans and celebrities, with troubling results,” he adds. Keeper convinced that fans today treat their idols as “cannon fodder for their Insta.”
Connection at risk
At risk, warns journalist Hannah Younes, of losing the precious “connection” between stars and their fans. In this way, the reporter envisions how individuals may interact with their community in the future. And they could decide to share everything. “If I had to make predictions about where this situation will go in the next ten years, I would say that the control system will be stricter towards artists,” he projects. They could ask not to be approached in public, and most of them would leave social media.
“Maybe some will adjust their habits in public, spending more time in high security places, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we just cancel meetings and other events where fans can meet their favorite artists (…).” A radical decision, which, according to him, will make it clear to the most demanding that their idols owe them absolutely nothing.
