Pop singer Chappell Roan has come under fire from conservative commentator Charlie Kirk for remarks she made about happiness and parenthood on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Roan, new to fame with hits like Good Luck, Babe! and Pink Pony Club, suggested in the interview that women with children are often unhappy — a comment Kirk slammed as a "dumb opinion" in a fiery tweet.
On March 26, 2025, Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, professionally known as Chappell Roan, appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast hosted by Alex Cooper. While discussing her views on relationships and parenthood, Roan made the statement on her personal views:
"All of my friends who have kids are in hell."
Roan explains her point of view, stating that all of her peers who are parents always seem to be unhappy and sleep-deprived.

"I actually don't know anyone who's, like, happy and has children at this age... I've literally not met anyone who's happy, anyone who has light in their eyes, who has slept."
Charlie Kirk, a prominent right-wing speaker, did not hold back on his criticism. On April 1, he posted a video of Roan's remarks to X, captioning it:
"You should not be surprised that a person as obviously deranged as Chappell Roan, with the types of friends she probably keeps, would have such a dumb opinion."
Kirk doubled down on his disapproval, providing an apparent statistical fact that the happiest women in America are married with children.

"I'm dating the same person that I was dating before I got, like, blew up."
Roan talks about the trust issues she now has with her newfound fame, revealing that she is always doubtful about any new person she speaks with, assuming they have an ulterior motive.
"I'm scared. I don't trust anyone. I just think in my head, I'm like, any new person that I'm texting, I'm like, I'm assuming they will screenshot this and send it to someone else."
Roan also calls herself "pro-single," encouraging people to be content with themselves before getting into a relationship.
