FORMER Chelsea star Jorginho has slammed Chappell Roan for making his 11-year-old daughter cry after the singer’s security team allegedly screamed at the girl for smiling.
The Brazilian midfielder accused the pop star’s guards for reducing his daughter to tears after allegedly berating the child at a hotel in Sao Paulo.
The ex-Chelsea and Arsenal ace blasted the “Pink Pony Club” singer in a seething Instagram post over her team’s behaviour towards his child.
The girl is understood to Jorginho’s step-daughter Ava Law, the daughter of former couple Catherine Harding and Jude Law.
His family was staying at the hotel ahead of 28-year-old Roan’s headlining Lollapalooza set in Brazil.
Jorginho, 34, said: “I went through a very upsetting situation with my family earlier today.
“My wife (@catcavelli) is in Sao Paulo for @lollapaloozabr. 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: “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.
“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.
“What happened next was completely disproportionate.”
The stat went on to explain: “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.
“He 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.
“I’ve lived with football, public exposure, and well-known people for many years, and I understand very well what respect and boundaries are.
“What happened there was not that. It was just a child admiring someone.
“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 added: “@chappellroan WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING. AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION.”
