Doja Cat has publicly supported Chappell Roan following a viral confrontation with paparazzi in Paris. In a TikTok video, Doja shared her admiration for Roan's honesty and linked it to her own experiences with borderline personality disorder. She also criticized the paparazzi culture and fake fans.
Doja Cat posted a TikTok video on March 13, 2026, defending Chappell Roan after the pop singer's uncomfortable interaction with paparazzi in Paris went viral. Doja expressed appreciation for Roan's ability to show discomfort openly without harming others. "I love that she can be uncomfortable comfortably in front of people and protect herself and be honest," Doja said.
Doja connected the public reaction to Roan's behavior with her own challenges managing borderline personality disorder (BPD). She noted similarities in how people respond to Roan's discomfort and her own feelings related to the condition. "I had to learn how to be honest," Doja added. "I love that she can do that without hurting people. She hasn’t hurt one person by being herself, and that shows that I can do the same."
Doja endorsed Roan's strong response to the paparazzi, stating, "To be like ‘fuck the paparazzi’ is the best way to be because fuck them." She highlighted issues with individuals who pretend to be fans to obtain signatures for resale, explaining that such encounters contribute to artists' wariness. "I’m a person in this profession, I do this, there are people who are not fans that show up and they want you to sign stuff, and they go and they sell it wherever," she said. Doja emphasized that artists do not ignore people out of arrogance.
Concluding her video, Doja urged others to allow Roan her attitude and admitted the incident motivated her. "I would love to have one as well, and I fucking will, hopefully in the future."
Doja is among several celebrities supporting Roan. Songwriter Noah Kahan shared a social media video earlier that week, saying, "Maybe they should just leave her alone? Also those dudes saying, ‘I’m a huge fan,’ following her around are scalpers and are as bad as the paparazzi. Fuck ’em all."
