Chappell Roan Denies Ordering Guard After Jorginho Says Daughter Was Confronted at Hotel

The dispute has prompted a Rio mayoral threat to bar her from a city festival.

Overview

  • Jorginho, who posted Saturday, said a man he described as a Chappell Roan security guard spoke aggressively to his wife and 11-year-old at a São Paulo hotel breakfast and left the child in tears.
  • Roan responded Sunday on Instagram saying the guard was not on her personal team, that she never asked anyone to approach the family, and that she was sorry they felt mistreated.
  • Rio de Janeiro mayor Eduardo Cavaliere wrote on X that Roan will not perform at the city-run Todo Mundo no Rio series under his leadership and he offered the child a guest-of-honor invite for May.
  • Catherine Harding said on Instagram that her daughter chose to skip Roan’s Lollapalooza set because of how they were treated, and outlets note no independent confirmation of the guard’s employer or any formal complaint.
  • Coverage has stressed Roan’s recent pushback on intrusive fans and paparazzi, with some reports framing the mayor’s statement as a ban while others emphasize the conflicting accounts and unresolved facts.
