Chappel Roan is back making headlines for her behaviour...

An alleged incident involving a young fan and Chappell Roan on the eve of Lollapalooza Brazil has quickly escalated online.

Italian-Brazilian footballer Jorginho (a midfielder for Flamengo) shared his account with his 4.9 million Instagram followers, describing what he called a distressing situation involving his stepdaughter Ada Law, whom his wife Catherine Harding shares with actor Jude Law.

Jorginho explained that his family was staying at the same hotel as Chappel in São Paulo, where Harding had travelled for the festival. He said his 11-year-old stepdaughter had been excited to see an artist she admired.

I went through a very upsetting situation with my family earlier today. My wife is in São Paulo for Lollapalooza Brasil. This morning, my daughter woke up incredibly excited. She even made a sign because she was so happy to see an artist she really admires, or used to admire.”

By coincidence, they're staying at the same hotel as this artist. During breakfast, the artist walked past their table. My daughter, like any child, recognised her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her,”

And the worst part is she didn't even approach her. She simply walked past the singer's table, looked to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum. She didn't say anything, didn't ask for anything.”

According to Jorginho, the situation escalated shortly after.

But after she took her seat, a large security guard came over to their table while they were still having breakfast and began speaking in an extremely aggressive manner to both my wife and my daughter, saying that she shouldn't allow my daughter to ‘disrespect’ or ‘harass’ other people.”

Honestly, I don't know at what point simply walking past a table and looking to see if someone is there can be considered harassment," he added, claiming the guard "even said he would file a complaint against them with the hotel, while my 11-year-old daughter was sitting there in tears.”

I've lived with football, public exposure, and well-known people for many years, and I understand very well what respect and boundaries are. What happened there was not that. It was just a child admiring someone. It's sad to see this kind of treatment coming from those who should understand the importance of fans. At the end of the day, they are the ones who build all of this,”

I sincerely hope this serves as a moment of reflection. No one should have to go through this, especially not a child.”

He then tagged Roan and concluded:

“WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING. AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION."

The backlash online was immediate, with many rushing to defend his stepdaughter.

Roan later responded in a video shared to her Instagram stories, saying she was unaware of the incident.

I’m just gonna tell my half of the story of what happened today with a mother and child who were involved with a security guard who is not my personal security,”

I didn’t even see. I didn’t even see a woman and a child. Like, I did not. No one came up to me. No one bothered me.”

Like, I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel," she continued. "I think these people were staying at the hotel as well. I did not ask the security guard to go up and talk to this mother and child. I did not. They did not come up to me. They weren’t doing anything. It’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe because there’s no action even taken.”

And I do not hate people who are fans of my music,"

I do not hate children. Like, that is crazy. I’m sorry to the mother and child that someone was assuming something, that you would do something, and if you felt uncomfortable that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that.”

One thing’s for sure... this is probably not how anyone wanted their Lollapalooza weekend to start…
