Chappell Roan has slammed The Voice while recounting the painful audition experience she had for the competition show.

The 27-year-pop star rocketed to fame thanks to her 2023 album The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, which emerged last year as a sleeper hit.

Along with being captivated by her songs, her fans have also praised the Missouri-born songstress for her forthright attitude – though her behavior fell under scrutiny last week when she was accused of pushing her assistant on the red carpet.

She was as blunt as ever in her latest interview, in which she recalled trying out for The Voice when she was just 15 years old.

Her 15th birthday landed in February 2013, the year The Voice aired its fifth season, with Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green as judges.

Although Chappell did not say she appeared before the celebrity panel, she shared the brutally dismissive treatment she received at the hands of ‘the producer or whoever the f*** was watching ‘ her audition, in a cover interview with W.

‘When I auditioned for The Voice, I was 15 and I sang Stay, by Rihanna,’ said Chappell, referring to a 2012 song by the Umbrella hitmaker.

‘That was when the Bruno Mars song When I Was Your Man was really big, and I thought I was so unique in switching it around and singing “When you were my man” and making it about gender. But every girl was like: “I’m switching it around.”’

She added: ‘By the way, when I did the Voice audition, the producer or whoever the f*** was watching did not even look up from his phone. He was like, “Okay, next.”’

Chappell remembered: ‘And I went up there and sang a cappella, the scariest thing ever. He never really looked at me.’

In the same interview, she shared that The Voice was not the only reality competition series that she tried out for when she was a teenager.

‘With America’s Got Talent, I was 13, and we flew to Austin, Texas, and waited in line with thousands of people at 4 a.m. I sang True Colors, by Cyndi Lauper. Did not make it either,’ dished the Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl singer.

Days ago, fans accused Chappell of pushing her assistant on a red carpet, in a clip that went viral of her at the 2025 Fashion Los Angeles Awards.

The footage initially showed her waving at fans while standing next to two other people – but at one stage the Good Luck, Babe! singer appeared to softly collide with her assistant and gently push her away with her arm.

Social media users scathingly denounced Chappell for her ‘rude and disrespectful act’ and her ‘nasty evil spirit,’ with one remarking: ‘it was an emotional and psychological push, with her hand there to infer of a push… truly sinister.’ 

Chappell made headlines this past September for furiously snapping back at a red carpet photographer at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The exchange began when a male photographer off-camera was heard apparently shouting that someone needed to ‘turn.’

At some point, a photographer was heard shouting: ‘Shut the f*** up,’ to which Chappell turned and bellowed back: ‘YOU shut the f*** up!’ 

She added: ‘No! Not me, b****!’ prompting whoops from some of the observers on the scene. ‘Tell him, girl,’ said one woman who was watching the encounter.

Chappell was previously vocal about her exasperation over ‘weird’ fans making her ‘uncomfortable’ with their intrusive behavior – prompting a backlash from social media users who felt she was being ungrateful for her stardom.   

‘I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little famous, whatever,’ she said on TikTok last August.

‘I don’t care that it’s normal. I don’t care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the job, the career field I’ve chosen.’ 

Chappell continued: ‘That does not make it okay that doesn’t make it normal. That doesn’t mean that I want it, that doesn’t mean that I like it….’ 

She defiantly declared she did not ‘give a f***’ about being regarded as ‘selfish’ for saying ”no for a photo or for your time or for a hug. That’s not normal, that’s weird.’
