'I hope you all know that everybody is worthy of compassion.'
Jewel speaks out on boundaries with fans after Chappell Roan's recent TikTok comments"I saw that she had to turn off her comments because of her recent posts about dissing being stalked and having people grab you in public," the "You Were Meant For Me" singer said. "It isn't OK as a celebrity."Jewel appears on"The Kelly Clarkson Show" on Dec. 2, 2022. | Chappell Roan performs during Lollapalooza at Grant Park, on Aug. 1, 2024, in Chicago.
Jewel echoed Roan's message and recalled moments in her career where she also felt unsafe in public. The first she recalled was when she was 21, which she said was her first experience with a stalker. "It was so scary," Jewel said. "This person was leaving firebombs outside my house. I was getting death threats saying I would be shot from stage."
She also spoke about a previous experience she had at an airport that involved a man yelling at her, which she said made her feel unsafe."I have a lot of trauma from my childhood, so fans grabbing me, touching me, turning me around, crowding me just wasn't good," she added.
"I hope you all know that everybody is worthy of compassion," she said. "Even if you're rich. Even if you're famous. We must show if that's a value of ours to have compassion, to be tolerant. We have to be willing to understand the joys and the struggles of other people's lives."
