Meeting Madelaine Petsch would be a freaking honour.
She’s basically the new Blair Waldorf of the world, in one of the biggest and most popular television shows, so it’s expected that fans may lose their chill in her presence.
But what this fan did was too far.
While talking to Entertainment Tonight, Madelaine revealed how, “A fan yelled my name, actually, ‘Cheryl Blossom’ at the top of her lungs, but it didn’t really register,” she said, before recalling that the fan ran at her “like a soldier” and jumped on her.
“I was so stressed out,” she added. Yikes. We feel stressed just picturing that encounter.
It may be overwhelming meeting somebody famous, especially if you’re a mega fan of theirs, but it’s always important to remember that they aren’t that character from the show. They aren’t a fictional being. They are a real human and they deserve respect.
As for being jumped on? That’s just horrendously rude. You can’t touch somebody without their consent. Ever.
Remember there are respectable and dignified ways to show your love for your fave stars!
