Harding\u2019s husband, soccer star Jorginho, was the first to slam Roan for the incident in a heated Instagram Story, after which the singer clarified she hadn\u2019t noticed the child or asked the bodyguard to scold her. But Harding still followed up with a video saying the star should \u201ctake responsibility\u201d for all personnel working on her behalf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLarsson also knows what it\u2019s like to experience backlash for something she\u2019s said.
