Kelsea Ballerini Defends Her Privacy After Breakup With Chase Stokes

It must be hard to break up with someone if you are in the public eye. Everybody wants to know all the details. The media, the fans, and other interested parties don’t back off easily. So while celebs are nursing a shattered heart, they also have to ward off all the relentless, intrusive onlookers.

For example, Kelsea Ballerini just broke up with her romantic partner of nearly three years, Chase Stokes. She is probably trying to get back on her feet. But the nagging questions and rumors are busily swirling. So Kelsea made a video and posted it on TikTok in the hope that she can soon reclaim her peace and privacy.

Ballerini’s Video Is a Pained Plea for Privacy During This Rough Time

Per People via TikTok, Ballerini, 32, is wearing her hair in a bun and is clad in a sleeveless white jersey. She sips a beverage from a can and appears disconsolate. Her face is cradled in her hands as the apt soundtrack, “Shut Up” by Ariana Grande, plays.

The video is plaintively captioned like this. “cc speculators, ‘sources’ and hidden cameras outside the hair salon, let us be. please.”

Fans Felt Very Sad for Her

People left posts in the comments section that showed their concern and compassion.

“This confirmed it. Thinking of you girl and I hope the media gives you both the privacy you both deserve. Virtual hugs.”

“Girl you already told them. It’s as simple as we broke up. Now they should move on so you can got [go] out in peace.”

“our queen has spoken. let her be”

“Your hair salon?! that’s like the one place you should have peace besides your house. I’m so sorry.”

“I can’t even imagine having to deal with this when navigating the most fragile, sensitive, vulnerable and emotional parts of life…I wish you would be allowed that kind of privacy to process your feelings and heal.”

“Loving someone’s work does not entitle you to an explanation. Let her do what she does best and maybe she will tell you through her music one day if she wants to.”
