In a lengthy Instagram post, Roan shared her experiences with fans who have crossed the line, engaging in "nonconsensual physical and social interactions" that have left her feeling uncomfortable and unsafe. The singer clarified that while she appreciates her fans' support, she does not accept any form of harassment or predatory behavior that she has witnessed while working or in public settings.
Roan emphasized that her choice to pursue a career in music does not entitle fans to engage in inappropriate behavior towards her or her loved ones. She stated, "I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child, I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path, nor do I deserve it."

The 26-year-old singer explained that when she is on stage, in drag, or at a press event, she is "at work" and interacts with fans in that capacity. However, outside of those circumstances, she considers herself "clocked out" and expects to be treated with the same respect as any other individual.
"In any other circumstance, I am not in work mode and I'm clocked out," Roan stated. "I don't agree with the notion that I owe a mutual exchange of energy, time, or attention to people I do not know, do not trust, or who creep me out — just because they're expressing admiration."

Roan also addressed the issue of "predatory behavior," which she believes is often disguised as "superfan" behavior. She drew a parallel to an incident involving a woman wearing a short skirt who is subsequently harassed, emphasizing that the responsibility for such behavior lies with the harasser and not with the individual who is being targeted.
"Please stop touching me. Please stop being weird to my family and friends. Please stop assuming things about me," Roan pleaded. "There is always more to the story & I am scared and tired. And please don't call me Kayleigh," she added, referring to her legal first name. "I feel more love than I ever have in my life. I feel the most unsafe I have ever felt in my life."

She explained that there is a part of herself that she reserves solely for her project and her audience, but she wants to ensure that she has a separate space for herself that remains protected.
Roan's decision to set clear boundaries has drawn support from many fans who recognize the importance of respecting artists' personal space. Several celebrities, including Carly Pearce, have also spoken out against fan harassment and expressed solidarity with Roan.
