Overview
- Benét posted an Instagram Reel on Tuesday, March 24, criticizing stars who brush off supporters and naming Chappell Roan as an example.
- He urged fans to stop buying from repeat offenders as a way to push for more respectful behavior toward the public.
- The debate stems from a March 22 hotel encounter in São Paulo, where Catherine Harding said a man believed to be linked to Roan spoke harshly to her 11-year-old, Ada Law, who had only smiled while walking past.
- Roan said she did not tell any security to engage and that she did not see the pair, and her representative told Billboard the guard was third-party and not acting on her instruction.
- Media coverage has widened the conversation about boundaries and security, with Billboard citing statements from both sides, Complex placing the video in a broader access debate, and The News International using sharply critical language toward Roan.
