A security guard has publicly apologized over Chappell Roan’s alleged drama with Jude Law’s 11-year-old daughter Ada.
“I take full responsibility for the interactions on March 21st. I was at the hotel on behalf of another individual, and I was not part of the personal security team of Chappell Roan,” security guard Pascal Duvier wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, March 25. “The actions I took were not on behalf of Chappell Roan, her personal security team, her management, or any other individuals.”
Controversy swirled over the weekend when soccer star Jorginho claimed his 11-year-old stepdaughter — whom he did not name but was presumed to be his wife Cat Cavelli’s daughter with ex Law — had an upsetting interaction with one of Roan’s security guards. Cavelli and her daughter Ada were seemingly staying at the same hotel as Roan, 28, ahead of her headline slot at Lollapalooza Brazil on Saturday, March 21.
“My daughter, like any child, recognized her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her,” Jorginho (real name Jorge Luiz Frello Filho) wrote via Instagram. “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.”
The athlete, 34, claimed that “a large security guard” allegedly approached Cavelli, 34, and Ada’s table 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.”
“My daughter was extremely shaken and cried a lot,” Jorginho wrote.
Duvier offered his own explanation for the alleged confrontation as part of his public apology on Monday.
“I made a judgment call based on information we obtained from the hotel, events I had witnessed in the days prior and the heightened overall security risk of our location,” he wrote. “My sole interaction with the mother was calm and with good intentions, and the outcome of the encounter is regretful.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Roan and Jorginho for comment.
Roan addressed the situation in multiple Instagram Stories on Sunday, March 22, where she denied any responsibility for the security guard’s alleged encounter with Ada and her mother.
“I did not ask the security guard to go up and talk to this mother and child. I did not,” Roan insisted. “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.”
She went on, “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. … If you felt uncomfortable, that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that.”
Cavelli broke her silence on Sunday, March 22, to address Roan’s denial.
“Chappell has responded saying that it wasn’t her security and that she didn’t do it,” she explained via Instagram. “So, 100 percent this security guard was not a security guard of the hotel — that is what I can say. He looks after artists, so I don’t know if it was her personal security guard but he was with her. That is all I know.”
Cavelli went on, “Did she send him to do it? Again, I don’t know. Look, I would like to hope not but at the same time, I think that you have a responsibility when you are a celebrity to make sure, I guess, that the people who work with you and act on your behalf are acting on your behalf.”
