The Good Luck Babe! singer was at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards red carpet but all eyes swiftly turned to her behavior - and not her quirky ensemble. She appeared to collide with her assistant before seemingly using her arm to push her away before walking off. While some online criticised the 'singer', others came out in support, with one fan writing: 'She literally just tapped her to let her know she’s there cause she’s looking the other way?'

While some online have debated the intent behind the gesture, the video shows a brief, physical nudge—likely just a practical move amid the chaotic red carpet scene.

The internet’s response has been swift and divided. Some users have criticised Roan’s actions, labelling them as rude or disrespectful. One commenter remarked: “She’s widely known to be unkind, superficial, and self-promoting. Not my cup of tea.”

However, alternate footage from a different angle shows that Roan’s arm made minimal, if any, contact, suggesting there was never an actual push. One user even added: “Crazy how angle changes everything, I was so mad at first.”

Upon examining different angles of the video, it becomes evident that Roan’s gesture was likely an attempt to navigate the tight space on the red carpet. The brief contact with her assistant appears to be incidental rather than intentional. Given the chaotic nature of red carpet events, such interactions are not uncommon.

While the video has undoubtedly captured public attention, it seems that the incident was a minor and unintentional moment amid a bustling event.

However, this isn’t the first time the singer has been in the spotlight for controversial reasons. Just a month ago, after being invited on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Roan faced intense backlash over comments that touched on political issues and motherhood.
