Chappell Roan Speaks Out After Security Guard Allegedly Made 11-Year-Old Fan Cry

Chappell Roan is speaking out after Brazilian soccer player Jorginho Frello accused the singer’s security team of making his 11-year-old stepdaughter cry. On Saturday, March 21, Frello, who is married to Catherine Harding, took to his Instagram story to claim that his daughter, a fan of Roan’s, was “shaken” after the pop star’s security chastised her for walking by Roan’s table at as they dined at the same hotel in São Paulo amid Lollapalooza. “During breakfast, the artist walked past their table. My daughter, like any child, recognized her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her,” he alleged, adding, “And 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.” He went on to claim that a “large security guard” then came up and began speaking to his daughter and wife in a “extremely aggressive manner.” “He even said he would file a complaint against them with the hotel, while my 11-year-old daughter was sitting there in tears,” Frello additionally claimed. On Sunday, March 22, the pop star responded to the accusations in videos posted to her Instagram stories, claiming she did “not ask the security guard to go up and talk to this mother and child.” “I do not hate people who are fans of my music. I do not hate children, like that is crazy. I’m sorry to the mother and child that someone was assuming something,” she added in part.
