Chappell Roan Hits Back at Jorginho's Criticism Over Security Incident in Brazil

American musician Chappell Roan has responded to criticism from former Chelsea footballer Jorginho after he accused her security guard of being aggressive towards his stepdaughter and wife at a hotel in Brazil.

Jorginho, 34, claimed that his 11-year-old stepdaughter was left crying after Roan's security guard spoke to her and his wife in an aggressive manner when they encountered Roan at a hotel in São Paulo. He accused Roan of not appreciating her fans, stating that they had been staying in the same hotel and his stepdaughter had simply smiled at Roan before walking back to her mother.

In response, Roan posted a video on Instagram, explaining that she had not instructed her security guard to approach Jorginho's stepdaughter and wife. She expressed sadness over the incident, saying that the stepdaughter "did not deserve that" and emphasized that she values her fans and does not hate children or people who admire her music.

The incident sparked online criticism of Roan, including from the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Cavaliere, who suggested that Roan was not welcome to perform at the city's annual Todo Mundo no Rio music festival. This criticism comes after Roan previously spoke out against "entitled" fans and their "creepy" behavior in a series of TikToks.
