Pop singer Chappell Roan is getting all kinds of backlash following an interview she did on the popular “Call Her Daddy” podcast with Alex Cooper.
The 27-year-old singer, who quickly rose to fame and is popular for her unique, drag queen aesthetic and prickly personality, is facing criticism for comments she made about parenting, and politics in particular.
First the Grammy-winning artist, whose real name is Kayleigh Amstutz, talked about going back to her hometown after getting famous and seeing everyone married with regular jobs and children.
“I don’t know when that’s gonna happen for me,” the singer said. “Like, I don’t know when that is realistic.”
“Do you want that?” Cooper asked.
“Like get married and … yeah, I don’t know,” she replied. “Part of me is like, is it even gonna be legal to marry, like, my wife one day, you know? I don’t know.”
“But kids? All my friends who have kids are in hell,” Amstutz continued. “I don’t know anyone – I actually don’t know anyone who’s like, happy and has children at this age,” she went on, rattling off ages of children five and under as examples. “I literally have not met anyone who’s happy, anyone who has like light in their eyes, anyone who has slept.”

Many commenters pointed out that Amstutz’s friends may have very young children, and could have just been voicing normal complaints.
“Chappell Roan going on call her daddy saying none of her friends with kids are happy is a prime example of why you cannot just vent to anyone,” one popular reply on X <a href="https://x.com/tallowmom/status/1905721349156544714">says</a>. “Because I guarantee she has this perspective because a few of her mom friends are going through it…. may a friendship like that never ever ever ever find me. May the friendships of narcissistic childless women with no sense of loyalty ever find me.”
“This is why you only vent about parenting to other mom friends who get it,” another person <a href="https://x.com/smalltown_wife/status/1906058559991009305">agreed</a>.
“Her viewpoint was SO out of touch and disappointing. Imagine being those friends that probably had a bad day and confided in her and hearing her spin on their situation on an international podcast. So wrong and so sad. We need to celebrate motherhood,” another person chimed in.
Amstutz also talked about her feelings on discussing politics after fans came after her during the 2024 election for not explicitly endorsing Kamala Harris.
The singer discussed how she doesn’t have time to care about politics. “Tour. Write. Perform. Interview. Sleep. Eat. And eat! And f***ing work out. How can they do it all? And lead the team, and be a boss, and pay people … and be like, f***ing so politically educated.”
“It’s exhausting,” Cooper agreed.
“And it’s also impossible,” Amstutz replied. “Also, why the f*** are you looking to me for some political answer? You think I have the f***ing answer? I&#8217;m a pop star. I wish I had the answers, I wish the president was a pop star, but she&#8217;s not,” the singer said.
The “Pink Pony Club” singer also reflected on her childhood. “I don’t even know if my young self would be able to register that as a part of me. That’s how removed … I was so, so, so opposite of me now,” she told Cooper. “It just wasn’t [awakened].”
“Young Kayleigh just felt so restricted because I was a problem child and so angry and so depressed and I felt like no one understood me,” Amstutz continued. “Now, that part of me is so alive … I just wanted to be free, but I didn’t think it would actually happen. Now that it has, it’s like she wouldn’t believe it at all. I don’t think she’d believe that this is what I do.”
