Overview
- Larsson, in a Guardian interview published Friday, said Chappell Roan is being treated unfairly and argued that people bristle when a woman sets firm limits.
- After Jorginho said a guard scolded his wife and 11-year-old stepdaughter at a São Paulo hotel, Roan said she never saw them and the guard, Pascal Duvier, later took full responsibility, saying he did not work for her.
- Larsson’s defense follows a pattern of Roan enforcing personal space, including calling out photographers and autograph dealers in Paris and stopping a 2024 VMAs cameraman she said crossed a line.
- Several outlets noted that parts of the online pile-on over the Brazil incident were reportedly boosted by bot accounts, which can make backlash seem broader than it is.
- Larsson said she recently lost a $3 million sponsorship after an abortion joke on TikTok, highlighting the financial stakes artists face when they speak bluntly about boundaries and values.
