A footballer is claiming singer Chappell Roan intimidated his daughter after she reportedly “harassed” the star.
Jorginho, real name Jorge Luiz Frello Filho, who plays as a defensive midfielder for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Flamengo posted the “upsetting” claims on Instagram stories.
The 34-year-old shared “I went through a very upsetting situation with my family earlier today. My wife [singer Catherine Harding] is in São Paulo for Lollapalooza Brasil,” where Roan will be performing

“By coincidence, they’re staying at the same hotel as this artist,” he said.
“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,” he said, referring to Harding’s daughter Ada Law, 11, with ex, the actor Jude Law.
He claimed she even hand-made a sign to cheer on Roan in anticipation of seeing her perform.
He said she “walked past” the Pink Pony Club singers table.
“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,” he claimed.

“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.”
The soccer star claimed the security guard said he would “file a complaint against them with the hotel” saying his daughter was “sitting there in tears.”
“My daughter was extremely shaken and cried a lot,” he added.

Jorginho cited his own experience as a footballer when claiming his daughter’s behaviour was not violating Roan’s “boundaries”.
“It’s sad to see this kind of treatment coming from those who should understand the importance of fans,” he said.
“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 said to Roan.
“WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING. AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION,” he wrote.
Roan and her team have yet to comment on the claims.
Following the claims, Roan has been barred from performing at Todo Mundo no Rio festival by the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Cavaliere.
He posted on X sharing Frello’s story, saying: ”I mean that as long as I’m in charge of our city – this young lady @ChappellRoan will never perform at Todo Mundo no Rio!
“I doubt that Shakira @shakira @Shakira_Brasil would do that! By the way, @FrelloJorginho your little one is already the guest of honor from the organization in May!”
