Jude Law’s ex hits back at Chappell Roan’s denials and hopes singer ‘learns a lesson’ as she shares further details about star’s ‘aggressive’ security leaving her 11-year-old daughter ‘in tears’

Chappell Roan’s response to claims his personal security guard reduced Jude Law’s daughter to tears has been criticized by the young fan’s mother.

Football player Jorginho, who is married to Catherine Harding, claimed on his Instagram account on Saturday that Ada, the daughter of his wife with actor Jude, was threatened by the singer’s bodyguard after the 11-year-old star saw the star at the same hotel in Brazil.

Following a massive backlash, the singer responded to Jorginho’s post in a video shared on Instagam on Sunday; Jorginho insisted it was not for his personal safety and that he did not want anyone to approach the child.

Catherine shared her side of the story later on Sunday, uploading a series of Instagram videos to explain what she saw having breakfast with her daughter, Ada.

“I know Chappell responded by saying, ‘This wasn’t his safety and he didn’t do this,’ 100 percent he wasn’t the security guard at this hotel, I can tell you that, he deals with the artists,” Cat said in her video.

‘Now I don’t know if he was her personal security guard or not but he was with her so that’s all I know, is that why he sent her? Again, I don’t know, I hope it’s not like that.

‘But you also have a responsibility when you’re famous to ensure that the people who work for you and act on your behalf act on your behalf.’

‘Would he have done this if he had no authority? I don’t know. If so, that’s a big problem. because then it represents him in a way that he does not want to be represented’.

Following a massive backlash, the singer responded to Jorginho’s post in a video shared on Instagam on Sunday; Jorginho insisted it was not for his personal safety and that he did not want anyone to approach the child.

Catherine added that Chappell was right to say she “didn’t notice anything” because nothing happened, and claimed that all her daughter did was tiptoe past the shooter’s desk.

‘[My daughter] He didn’t have his phone with him, he didn’t try to take a photo, he didn’t do anything, he just stared [Chappell] and smiled’.

Catherine recalled how a security guard, whom she described as ‘pushy and intimidating’, soon came to their table and ‘scolded’ her for being a bad parent.

‘He said we shouldn’t harass people and things, and I tried to explain to him that he was a kid and was excited to see an artist he liked.’

She said her daughter, who has a famous father and stepfather, understood the ‘limits’ of what was acceptable in the public eye, but the security guard didn’t listen.

‘I hope [Chappell] I didn’t know, I hope he didn’t send his security for that. I think he is a really talented artist, we loved him so much, we came all the way to São Paulo to see his show.

‘It was a birthday present, he wanted tickets, he was a bit devastated that we didn’t go to the show last night but that’s the way it is.’

Before adding: ‘I hope maybe if it wasn’t for him he would have learned not to let people who work for him treat people that way.’

Meanwhile, Catherine thanked Lewis Capaldi for his ‘kindness’ after posing for a photo with the actor’s daughter on Sunday.

The Daily Mail has contacted Chappell Roan’s representatives for comment.

In his video on his Instagram Story, Chappell said: ‘Today I will tell half the story of what happened with a mother and child who got involved with a security guard who was not my personal security…

‘I didn’t even see it. I didn’t even see a woman and a child. Nobody came to me, nobody bothered me. I was sitting at breakfast in my hotel. I think these people were also staying at the hotel. So he’s actually a security guard…

‘I didn’t ask the security guard to go up and talk to this mother and child. I didn’t. They didn’t come to me. I didn’t do anything. It’s not fair from a security standpoint to assume someone is not in good faith when they have no reason to believe so because no action was taken.

‘I don’t hate people who are fans of my music. I don’t hate kids, it’s crazy. I’m sorry for the mother and child that someone assumed something.

‘It really makes me sad if you’re uncomfortable. You didn’t deserve this.’

Meanwhile, Catherine thanked Lewis Capaldi for his ‘kindness’ after posing for a photo with the actor’s daughter on Sunday.

She posted a photo of the breakout smiling alongside the Scottish singer following the Lollapalooza 2026 concert in São Paulo, which Chappell was headlining.

While Lewis gave the camera a thumbs up, Catherine jumped under the photo and shared: ‘Thank you for your kindness.’

The drama began when Catherne’s husband, former Chelsea and Arsenal footballer Jorginho, posted a lengthy statement on Instagram on Saturday, openly criticizing Chappell’s security for threatening his stepdaughter.

In a post that quickly went viral, she wrote: ‘I had a very sad 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: ‘Coincidentally, they are staying in the same hotel as this artist. During breakfast, he passed the artists’ tables. My daughter, like any child, recognized him, got excited and wanted to make sure it was really him.

‘And the worst part was he didn’t even come close to it. He walked past the singer’s table, looked to confirm it was him, smiled and sat down next to his mother. He didn’t say anything, he didn’t ask for anything.

‘What happened next was completely disproportionate. While they were still having breakfast, a large security guard came to their table and began speaking extremely aggressively to both my wife and daughter, telling me that my daughter should not be allowed to “disrespect” or “harass” others.

The drama began when Catherne’s husband, former Chelsea and Arsenal player Jorginho, posted a lengthy statement on Instagram openly criticizing Chappell’s security.

‘Honestly, I don’t know at what point walking past a table to see if anyone is there could be considered harassment. My 11-year-old daughter even said she was going to complain to the hotel while she was sitting there in tears. My daughter was very shaken and cried a lot.

‘I have lived with football, public exposure and public figures for many years and I understand very well what respect and boundaries are. That’s not what happened there. This was just a kid admiring someone.

‘It’s sad to see this kind of treatment coming from people who should understand the importance of fans. After all, they are the ones who built all this. I sincerely hope this is a moment of reflection. ‘No one, especially a child, should have to go through this.’

Jorginho concluded: ‘@chappellroan WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD NOT BE ANYTHING. AND TO FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR LOVE.’

Representatives for Chappell Roan did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment.

Chappell had an occasionally contentious relationship with his fans; The artist had previously spoken out about behavior that he described as ‘creepy’ and ‘invasive’ in previous social media posts.

In August 2024, when his popularity suddenly increased, He published a video on TikTok ‘I don’t care if harassment and harassment, stalking and whatever, is a normal thing that happens to people who are famous or somewhat famous,’ he said.

‘It’s weird how people think you know someone because you’ve seen them online and heard their art… I have the right to say no to creepy behavior, okay?’

followed this In a long post on Instagram, ‘I’ve wanted to be an artist for a very long time,’ he says. ‘I’ve had too many non-consensual physical and social interactions and I need to explain and remind you that women don’t owe you shit.’

Chappell was recently criticized by Boy George for the limits he places on his fans, insisting the singer “embraces the fame and owns it”. Cheer up.’

The Culture Club frontman responded to a viral video that showed Chappell filming himself confronting a group of fans who were allegedly following him around Paris.

In video taken by a viewer, Chappell can be seen saying into his camera: He feels ‘ignored as a human being’.

Boy George offered some advice to Chappell, writing: ‘Yes, it’s annoying sometimes but it’s ignored and you’re told ‘it is’. Life is always now and I think Chappell looks great but cheer up girl.’

‘The world is at your feet, stop kicking it! It takes a lot longer to say no to a picture or a signature. Boundaries are boring. Break them with the kindness spell!’
