Chappell Roan Responds to Jorginho’s Accusation of Security Guard’s Behavior Toward His Family

American pop artist Chappell Roan responded publicly after Brazilian soccer star Jorginho accused one of her security guards of acting aggressively toward his wife, Catherine Harding, and his 11‑year‑old stepdaughter at a São Paulo hotel. According to Jorginho’s Instagram post, the incident happened while his family was having breakfast at the same hotel where Roan was staying ahead of her Lollapalooza Brazil performance. He said his stepdaughter, reportedly Ada Law, daughter of actress Catherine Harding and actor Jude Law, simply walked near Roan’s table to catch a glimpse of the singer. Jorginho alleged that a man he believed to be Roan’s security guard confronted his family harshly, accusing the child and her mother of being disrespectful and threatening to file a complaint with hotel management.

In response, Roan took to Instagram stating that the security guard involved was not a member of her official team and that she did not witness any interaction. She apologized to Harding and her daughter, expressing sadness that they felt uncomfortable and emphasizing that no one deserves to be treated that way. The situation drew public attention when Rio de Janeiro mayor Eduardo Cavaliere reacted by declaring Roan would not be invited to perform at future city concerts, and he extended an invitation for Jorginho’s stepdaughter to be a guest of honor at an upcoming Shakira show. Roan, who has previously spoken about fan boundaries and invasive interactions, reiterated her stance on respect while expressing regret over the misunderstanding. The incident has sparked widespread reactions online, with opinions divided between support for Jorginho’s family and Roan’s accountability for her entourage’s actions.
