Chappell Roan, a pop star, has responded to former Arsenal and Flamengo player Jorginho Frello, who said that the singer’s team was mean to his 11-year-old stepdaughter at a hotel in São Paulo during Lollapalooza Brazil. After Jorginho posted a long statement on social media, the drama started. It caused a worldwide backlash and a quick response from the Grammy-winning singer.
Jorginho said that his wife, Catherine Harding, and their daughter were staying at the same fancy hotel in São Paulo as Chappell Roan during the festival. He said that his 11-year-old stepdaughter, who recognized the singer at breakfast, was “in tears” after a security guard came up to their table in what he called a “extremely aggressive” way and accused the child of harassment. Brazilian footballer Jorginho Frello has accused the team of pop singer Chappell Roan of mistreating his 11-year-old daughter.
Brazilian-Italian footballer Jorginho, better known as Jorginho, called the incident a “very sad situation” for his family and said that the singer didn’t deserve her fans’ love if she let this kind of behavior happen.
Chappell Roan replied on Instagram by posting what she called her “half of the story,” which directly contradicted the story. She made it clear in her statement that the security guard in question was not her personal security and that she did not see the woman and child at the hotel that morning.
Roan also made it clear that she doesn’t hate kids and fought back against claims that she or her team had been mean or rude to the girl. People on the internet have had different reactions to what she said. Some fans liked how honest she was, while others agreed with Jorginho’s worries about how kids are treated around famous people.
The fight between a famous pop star and a famous soccer player has made the São Paulo hotel incident one of the most talked-about celebrity news stories of 2026. The story has attracted both sports and entertainment fans because it includes Lollapalooza Brazil, Jorginho’s connections to England’s football scene, and Jude Law’s daughter.
