Chappell Roan Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images Chappell Roan has shared “my half of the story” following an accusation that one of her security guards intimidated a young fan at a Sao Paulo hotel.
On Saturday, professional Brazilian soccer player Jorginho shared a story on social media that alleged that Roan sent her security guard to chastise his wife and daughter after the latter approached her briefly during breakfast in their shared hotel; however, on Sunday morning, Roan clarified that the security guard, who wasn’t a member of her personal team, was acting independently.
“My wife is in São Paulo for Lollapalooza Brazil. This morning, my daughter woke up incredibly excited. She even made a sign because she was so happy to see an artist she really admires, or used to admire,” Jorginho wrote in Portuguese and English to his 5 million followers on Instagram.

My daughter, like any child, recognized her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her. The worst part is she didn’t even approach her. She simply walked past the singer’s table, looked to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum. She didn’t say anything, didn’t ask for anything.”
Following that brief encounter, “A large security guard came over to their table while they were still having breakfast and began speaking in an extremely aggressive manner to both my wife and my daughter, saying that she shouldn’t allow my daughter to ‘disrespect’ or ‘harass’ other people,” Jorginho wrote.
“Honestly, I don’t know at what point simply walking past a table and looking to see if someone is there can be considered harassment,” the soccer star continued, adding that the security guard “even said he would file a complaint against them with the hotel, while my 11-year-old daughter was sitting there in tears.”
While Jorginho didn’t name his child, People reports that it was his stepdaughter Ada Law, the daughter of actor Jude Law and Catherine Harding, Jude’s ex and Jorginho’s current wife.

On Saturday night, Roan thanked her security team during her Lollapalooza Brazil set, “I’m so grateful, so thank you, and thank you to my crew and my security and my band, and everyone behind the scenes.”
However, on Sunday morning amid the growing controversy, the singer took to Instagram to clarify that she wasn’t responsible for the incident, as well as apologize to the mother and daughter.
“I’m just gonna tell my half of the story of what happened today with a mother and child who were involved with a security guard who is not my personal security,” Roan emphasized.
