Talking on Las Culturistas, Chappell addressed the discourse surrounding her. She confessed: "I had to stop reading [the comments]. I deleted Instagram and TikTok off my phone on Sunday. If I want to protect my creative psyche, because I'm writing right now, I have to build a forcefield around it."
Chappell explained: "If I want to for sure have a bad day, guarantee I read the comments. If you're gonna open these, you're not gonna feel good. It's never worth it. It just hurts my feelings. I thought I would grow out of it hurting my feelings. I thought I would become callous to it."
She then added: "Sometimes I hate that I'm not callous and other times I'm like, 'Thank God, I have feelings about people hurting my feelings'. Maybe I'll get there one day. Maybe I'll find a healthy medium."
Getting more specific, Chappell said: "It's not about my art anymore all of a sudden, it's about me and how I look and how I talk or my humour. That is the insufferable part all of a sudden and not my art. That's what hurts my feelings.
"With my art, even with 'The Giver', you are 100 percent allowed to judge it, hate it, love it, rip it apart, critique it. That is the point. That is fair game. It's art. Everything else, that's outside of my art or performance, when it comes to my personality or my mistakes that I make in public, it is ruthless."
Chappell also said that she constantly judges herself: "When it comes to my self confidence or comments or just saying something I didn't mean, that's when I'm really hard on myself."
