Bodyguard Pascal Duvier has come forward to support Chappell Roan, confirming that he was not on duty for the singer and that she should not be held accountable for an incident involving an 11-year-old girl in tears.
The controversy arose after reports claimed that Ada Law, the daughter of actor Jude Law, was allegedly scolded by a security guard in a hotel lobby in Brazil after encountering the 28-year-old musician.
Ada’s stepfather, Jorginho Frello, took to social media following the incident, stating that the guard approached them at their breakfast table after his daughter smiled at Chappell as they passed by, leaving the girl upset on her birthday. However, the guard responsible for the incident has clarified that he was not part of Chappell Roan’s security team.
In an Instagram Story, the guard addressed the rumors, asserting that the accusations circulating were false and amounted to defamation. He explained that he was at the hotel on behalf of another individual and that his actions were not endorsed by Chappell Roan or her team.
Pascal emphasized that his decision was based on information from the hotel and security concerns, and that he had a calm interaction with the girl’s mother. He also mentioned that he was not working directly for Chappell Roan, absolving her of any responsibility in the matter.
Chappell also shared her side of the story on Instagram, clarifying that she did not witness the incident involving the mother and child. She stated that she did not interact with them and had simply been having breakfast at the hotel.
The singer mentioned that she asked the security guard to address the situation with the mother and child, emphasizing that they did not disturb her in any way. She expressed regret over any discomfort caused to the mother and child due to the assumptions made.
In conclusion, both Pascal and Chappell have distanced the singer from the incident, with Pascal highlighting that his actions were not tied to Chappell or her team, and Chappell reiterating that she did not harbor any ill feelings towards her fans or children.
