- Brazilian soccer player Jorginho said his 11-year-old stepdaughter recognized Roan at breakfast on March 21, after which a large guard confronted the table, threatened a hotel complaint, and left the child in tears.
- Roan said she neither saw the family nor sent anyone to them and apologized for their distress, while her representative said Duvier was not her security in South America.
