On March 20, Jorge Luiz Frello Filho, more famously known as Jorginho, shared a lengthy post on Instagram Stories, writing that his wife, Catherine Harding, also known as Cat Cavelli, and her daughter, 11-year-old Ada, had an “upsetting” experience in São Paulo, Brazil.

Ada, Harding’s daughter with actor Jude Law, was in São Paulo to attend the Lollapalooza. According to the soccer player, Ada was excited to see Roan, “an artist she really admires.” Jorgino even shared an image of the little girl holding up a homemade sign that read, “H-O-T-T-O-G-O I am watching Chappell Roan!”

Coincidentally, Harding and Ada were at the same hotel as Roan, and while having breakfast, Ada saw Roan walk by their table.

As Jorginho said, his daughter was excited and “just wanted to make sure it was really her.” Based on his account, Ada didn’t approach Roan. Instead, she walked by her table to have a better look at her. When she saw that it was, indeed, Roan, she smiled and walked back to her mother. “She didn’t say anything, didn’t ask for anything,” Jorginho wrote.

“What happened next was completely disproportionate,” he continued. A member of Roan’s security allegedly approached Harding and her daughter’s table and spoke in an “aggressive” way, telling Harding that she shouldn’t have let her daughter “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,” Jorginho noted.

Jorginho said the encounter left Ada “extremely shaken,” adding, “He even said he would file a complaint against them with the hotel, while my 11-year-old daughter was sitting there in tears.”

The soccer player, who previously played for Chelsea and Arsenal and now plays for the Brazilian club Flamengo, said he knows all about “public exposure” and has been around well-known people for years, adding, “I understand very well what respect and boundaries are.” However, he believes what his daughter did didn’t cross any boundaries. “It was just a child admiring someone,” he noted.

He ended his lengthy post by addressing Roan and tagging her, writing, “Without your fans, you would be nothing.”

Rio De Janeiro’s Mayor Banned Chappell Roan From Music Festival

Jorginho’s post gained online attention, and even the mayor of Rio De Janeiro responded. In a post on X, Eduardo Cavaliere wrote in Portuguese that as long as he remains in office as Rio de Janeiro’s mayor, Roan will never be allowed to perform at Todo Mundo no Rio, a series of music megashows backed by the city of Rio de Janeiro.

Todo Mundo no Rio takes place at the Copacabana Beach and draws large crowds. Some artists who have performed at the festival include Madonna and Lady Gaga, and Shakira will be headlining the event in May.

In his tweet, Cavaliere said he doubts Shakira would do the same to Jorginho’s daughter and tagged the soccer star, inviting Ada as a guest of honor at Todo Mundo no Rio in May.

The Alleged Incident Happened Weeks After The Singer’s Run-In With Papparazzi

In March, Roan had a public confrontation with the paparazzi while she was in Paris. In one video, the singer could be heard saying that she had repeatedly asked the paparazzi to leave her alone and let her go to dinner, but they wouldn’t listen to her. At one point, she refused to sign an autograph for a fan.

As The Blast previously reported, singer Boy George shared his opinion on social media and gave Roan a piece of advice. “The trick is to own your fame,” the singer noted, adding that he understands that being famous can be annoying. However, he said it was better than “being ignored” and called a “has-been.”

“It takes so much more time to say no to a picture or a signature. Boundaries are boring. Break them with the magic of kindness!” Boy George said.
