Overview
- Pascal Duvier, who posted a statement Wednesday, said he was not on Chappell Roan’s team and took full responsibility for the hotel encounter.
- Roan and her representative said she did not see the exchange or direct any action and she apologized to the mother and child.
- The episode took place in a São Paulo hotel lobby before Lollapalooza Brasil, where a guard confronted an 11-year-old and her mother, Catherine Harding, leaving the child in tears according to family accounts.
- The hotel said the situation was unrelated to its operations and online conversation moved toward holding the guard accountable after his post.
- No legal action has been reported and some outlets highlighted Duvier’s prior controversy tied to Kim Kardashian’s 2016 Paris robbery as context for how celebrity security work and accountability can blur.
