Chappell Roan Apologizes After Hotel Run-In With Jorginho’s Family as Wife Disputes Her Account

Conflicting accounts persist over whether the guard was linked to the artist.

Overview

  • At a São Paulo hotel on Saturday during Lollapalooza, a security guard confronted Catherine Harding and her 11-year-old daughter, which Jorginho described as an 'extremely aggressive' approach that left the child crying.
  • On Sunday, Chappell Roan said in Instagram videos that she never saw the pair, did not ask any security to approach them, and apologized to the mother and child.
  • Harding later posted her own video insisting the guard was not from the hotel and was with the singer, urging Roan to ensure people acting in her name reflect her standards.
  • The family said the girl chose to skip Roan’s show and later shared photos with Lewis Capaldi, publicly thanking him for his kindness.
  • The incident spurred a wave of online backlash from Flamengo supporters, drew criticism from Rio’s mayor, and prompted a taunting post from Flamengo’s official account, with no hotel statement confirming either account.
