Entertainer and singer-songwriter Chappell Roan is getting an earful for seriously dissing on motherhood. Roan was raised in a committed Christian home in Missouri but has adopted a public voice very much at odds with her upbringing.
Roan recently explained “Call Her Daddy” podcast that “all [her] friends who have kids are in hell” and “she doesn’t know anyone who’s happy with children at her age.”
