Chappell Roan thanked her security team hours after a member allegedly made Jude Law’s 11-year-old daughter cry.
“So this is our 33rd show of the Damels tour. I do not know when I will be going on tour again, so this is hte last one — so grateful it’s here. I’m so grateful, so thank you,” Roan, 28, said on stage to a hoard of fans at her Saturday, March 21, Lollapalooza show in Brazil, per social media footage.
“And thank you to my crew and my security and my band and all the — everyone behind the scenes,” the singer continued. “This take a lot of people, so thank you.”
That same day, soccer star Jorginho (real name Jorge Luiz Frello Filho) claimed an alleged member of the “Pink Pony Club” singer’s security team accused his stepdaughter, Ada, of harassment. (Jorginho is married to Catherine Harding, who shares Ada with Law, 53.)

“I went through a very upsetting situation with my family earlier today. My wife is in São Paulo for Lollapalooza Brasil,” the soccer star, 34, wrote via his Instagram Stories on Saturday. “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.”
He continued, “By coincidence, they’re staying at the same hotel as this artist. 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. 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.”
According to Jorginho, a “large security guard” allegedly approached Cavelli and Ada’s table and “began speaking in an extremely aggressive manner.” He further alleged that the guard told his wife that “she shouldn’t allow my daughter to ‘disrespect’ or ‘harass’ other people.”
“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,” he added.
The security guard allegedly threatened to “file a complaint against them with the hotel” while the young girl “was sitting there in tears.”
“My daughter was extremely shaken and cried a lot,” Jorginho alleged.
Chappell Roan Slams ‘Entitled’ Fans for ‘Creepy Behavior’
On Sunday, March 22, Roan addressed the alleged incident via her Instagram Stories.
“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 wrote. “I didn’t even see a woman and a child, like, no one came up to me. No one bothered me. I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel. I think these people were staying at the hotel, as well.”
She continued, “I did not, they did not come up to me. They weren’t doing anything. It’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe because there’s no action even taken, like, that’s so not what I stand behind.”
The singer went on to assure her followers that she does “not hate people who are fans of my music.”
“I do not hate children, like, that is crazy,” she continued on Sunday. “I’m sorry to that mother and child that someone was assuming something that you would do something and that if you felt uncomfortable, that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that.”
