Chappell Roan is sharing her side of the story, following an alleged incident with soccer player Jorginho and his young daughter.
In a Saturday, March 21, Instagram Stories post, Jorginho, 34, alleged that the pop star, 28, sent a security guard to accuse his 11-year-old daughter of disrespecting and harassing the musician while they all dined at the same hotel in São Paulo. (He did not name the child, but appeared to be referring to 11-year-old Ada Law, whom his wife, Catherine Harding, welcomed with her ex, Jude Law.)
A day later, Roan reacted to the claims in her own Instagram Stories post, speaking out about the situation for the first time.
“I’m just going to 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,” she began the March 22 video.
“I didn’t even see a woman and a child. Like, I did not. No one came up to me, no one bothered me,” the “Pink Pony Club” singer continued. “Like, I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel, [and] I think these people were staying at the hotel as well.”

Roan then said, “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,” she added. “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.”
In another Instagram Stories post, Roan reacted to online commentary poking fun at the situation. “I do not hate people who are fans of my music. I do not hate children. Like, that is crazy,” she said.
“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,” continued the Grammy Award winner.

In Jorginho’s Instagram Stories post directed at Roan, he wrote, “My wife [Catherine Harding, who also goes by Cat Cavelli] is in São Paulo for Lollapalooza Brazil.”
“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,” he continued, referring to Roan ahead of her Lollapalooza Brazil set — where she later gave a shout out to her security team.
“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, recognized her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her,” Jorginho then wrote of the alleged interaction, highlighting, “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.”
After his daughter walked by, Jorginho alleged in the post, “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,” the soccer pro continued. He then claimed that the security guard “even said he would file a complaint against them with the hotel, while my 11-year-old daughter was sitting there in tears.”
“My daughter was extremely shaken and cried a lot,” Jorginho, born Jorge Luiz Frello Filho, added.
He continued, “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,” Jorginho concluded, then tagging Roan’s Instagram account as he wrote in all-caps: “WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING. AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION.”

Roan is in the country for Lollapalooza Brazil, which is taking place between March 20 and March 22 at the Autódromo de Interlagos in São Paulo.
Other performers include Cypress Hill, Katseye, Lola Young and Marina, among others.
Roan has long been an outspoken advocate for boundaries between herself and fans, as well as paparazzi.
Earlier this month, she made headlines for calling out a group of photographers and admirers who waited outside the restaurant where she was dining for “harassing” her.
Representatives for Roan and the Palácio Tangará have not responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
