Chappell Roan has been banned from performing at a the Todo Mundo festival in Rio de Janeiro by the Mayor of the city, following reports that she made an 11 year old girl cry
The Mayor of Rio de Janeiro has banned singer Chappell Roan from performing at a the Todo Mundo festival in the city. The Mayor, Eduardo Cavaliere, shared a statement online and revealed she will ‘never perform’ there ‘as long as he’s in charge’.
Eduardo shared the statement following reports that Roan’s security guard made former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Jorginho’s step-daughter, Ada, cry. The Italian ace claims that the singer’s security guard interrupted his wife and daughter’s breakfast in an aggressive manner after his 11-year-old had walked past Roan to check if it was her. Jorginho is married to Catherine Harding, who shares daughter, Ada, with actor Jude Law.
Mayor Eduardo wrote online: “I mean that as long as I’m in charge of our city – this young lady @ChappellRoan will never perform at Todo Mundo no Rio! I doubt that Shakira @shakira @Shakira_Brasil would do that! By the way, @FrelloJorginho your little one is already the guest of honor from the organization in May!”

Premier League ace Jorginho claimed that young Ada saw Chappell at their hotel and walked past the star and smiled to work out if it was actually her. But moments after, a security guard, who claimed to work with Chappell, spoke to Cat and Ada in “an extremely aggressive manner,” before Chappell’s performance at Lollapalooza in Sao Paulo, Brazil
Roan, 28, rose to extreme fame in 2023 with breakout hits ‘Hot to Go’ and ‘Good Luck, Babe’ and is known for bold, drag-inspired performances. The Grammy-winner is a major name on the festival scene, but it looks like she will not be attending the Todo Mundo festival.
Following the incident, Chappell Roan took to social media to share her side of the story. She said in a video where she was lying on a bed with her head on a pillow: “I’m just going to tell my half of the story of what happened today with a mother and child who were involved with a security guard who is not my personal security”.
The Pink Pony Club singer added: “I didn’t even see, I didn’t even see a woman and a child like… No one came up to me, no one bothered me like I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel. I think these people were staying at the hotel as well.
“So, the fact that, like a security guard, who was – I did not ask the security guard to go up and talk to this mother and child, I did not. They did not come up to me. They weren’t doing anything; it’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe, because there’s no action even taken.”
Chappell went on to say that she does ‘not hate people’ who are fans of her music and that she does “not hate children.” “I’m sorry to the mother and child that someone was assuming something, that you would do something, and that… if you felt uncomfortable, that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that.”
Jorginho said on Instagram: “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. @chappellroan.
“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, recognised 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. 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.”
He went on to write: “He [security] 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.”
