Chappell Roan had a big night at the MTV VMAs and made a bold statement on the red carpet with a fiery exchange with a photographer. Chappell made her MTV VMA debut on Wednesday night, but things got crazy before the show even began, and it was all caught on video. While posing for photos on the red carpet, a photographer seemingly said, “shut the f–k up,” which prompted the star to turn around and deliver an unfiltered response. While it’s unclear whether the photographer was speaking to her or not, Chappell spoke about the incident during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
