A security guard has taken \u201cfull responsibility\u201d for an incident at a hotel in Brazil<\/a>, which left the stepdaughter of footballer Jorginho<\/a> in tears.<\/p>\n

Singer Catherine Harding<\/a>, who is married to the former Premier League<\/a> footballer, claimed the security guard \u201cberated\u201d her and her daughter<\/a> after an encounter with singer Chappell Roan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harding, also known as Cat Cavelli, shares a child with her ex-partner, actor Jude Law<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on Instagram<\/a>, celebrity bodyguard Pascal Duvier said he was working for another, unnamed individual at the time of the interaction \u2013 not the \u201cPink Pony Club\u201d singer<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cI do not normally address online rumours, but the accusations currently circulating are false and constitute defamation. I take full responsibility for the interactions on March 21st,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was at the hotel on behalf of another individual, and I was not part of the personal security team of Chappell Roan. The actions I took were not on behalf of Chappell Roan, her personal security team, her management, or any other individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roan has since said she was not aware of the incident <\/a>and the security guard in question was not part of her personal detail.<\/p>\n

Duvier added: \u201cI 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. My sole interaction with the mother was calm and with good intentions, and the outcome of the encounter is regretful.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a video shared on Instagram on Sunday, Harding said her daughter spotted Roan while having breakfast at the same hotel.<\/p>\n

She added that the child did not have her phone or approach Roan but smiled as she walked past her table.<\/p>\n

Harding said a security guard then approached them to \u201cberate and scold\u201d them and spoke in an \u201caggressive tone\u201d.<\/p>\n

Roan has since said she was not aware of the incident and the security guard was not part of her personal detail.<\/p>\n

\"CatherineCatherine Harding said the pair had tickets to see Roan at Lollapalooza festival in Sao Paolo but did not go (Getty)<\/p>\n

A statement from a representative for Roan on Monday said: \u201cChappell was not aware of any interaction between this mother\/daughter and a third-party security office.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe did not see them at breakfast in her hotel, as she said in her video. She did not direct her personal security or anyone on her team to interact with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cChappell holds her own teams to the highest standards and has zero tolerance for any kind of aggressive behaviour towards her or her fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harding has said the tickets to see Roan at Lollapalooza<\/a> festival in Sao Paolo had been a birthday gift for her daughter and the experience had been \u201cruined\u201d, resulting in them not attending the show.<\/p>\n

Jorginho, 34, previously said that after the incident, the little girl was left \u201cextremely shaken and cried a lot\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a previous video shared on Instagram, Roan said: \u201cThey did not come up to me. They weren\u2019t doing anything. It\u2019s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn\u2019t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe, because there\u2019s no action even taken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harding married former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Jorginho in Lake Como, Italy, last year. The singer and the footballer, who now plays for Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro, share a son.<\/p>\n

Jorginho has two children from a previous marriage to Natalia Leteri.<\/p>\n

Grammy-winning singer Roan, whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, previously hit out at \u201centitled\u201d fans for their \u201ccreepy\u201d behaviour<\/a> in a series of TikToks in 2024, where she emphasised the need for boundaries between celebrities and their fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":496397,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-496396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496396"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496396\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
