Chappell Roan, who won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2025, has found herself the subject of intense online backlash after an encounter with a security guard at a hotel left a little girl in tears and her parents fuming.<\/p>\n
Now, the security guard at the center of the incident, Pascal Duvier<\/a>, is speaking out on what he says really happened.<\/p>\n The controversy, which took place in Brazil, involved the 11-year-old daughter of Catherine Harding and Jude Law. The little girl, whose name is Ada, also happens to be the stepdaughter of Brazilian soccer star Jorginho Frello.<\/p>\n Frello claims that Ada spotted Roan at the hotel, recognized her, and smiled at her, but did not approach her. A short time later, the little girl and her mother were aggressively approached by a security guard believed to be from Roan\u2019s team. The guard accused the child of \u201charassment\u201d and \u201cdisrespect,\u201d even threatening to file a complaint with the hotel.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.
