Jorginho Says Chappell Roan Wasn’t Responsible For Security Incident

Last month, Jorghino incited a media frenzy when he shared a post on his Instagram story, claiming that while his wife and her daughter were staying at a hotel, they experienced a “very upsetting situation”, which he alleged was caused when Chappell sent her security guard to confront the 11-year-old for walking past her table while she ate breakfast.

As details of this alleged confrontation became more widespread, the Pink Pony Club singer spoke out to insist she had no knowledge of what had transpired, and that the security guard in question did not work for her.

This security guard later shared his own statement, confirming that he didn’t work for Chappell and taking “full responsibility” for what transpired at the hotel.

“I 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,” he said. “My sole interaction with the mother was calm and with good intentions, and the outcome of the encounter is regretful.”

On Monday evening, Jorghino shared a lengthy post on his story, accepting this version of events.

“We have been seeing and hearing a lot over the past few weeks and felt it was important to clarify everything now that new information has come to light,” he said.

“I made my initial statement in the heat of the moment, after hearing that my child and wife had been approached by an adult male security guard in an intimidating way. I reacted as any father would. My priority is, and always will be, protecting my family, and that is exactly what I did.”

He continued: “I also want to make clear that the situation did occur as it was originally described. At the time, we acted on the information that was available to us.

“Since then, I have become aware of new information that has changed my understanding of parts of what happened. Chappell Roan made a public statement, reached out privately to Catherine, and our teams also spoke directly. It became clear that she had no knowledge of what took place at breakfast and had not asked anyone to approach them. She was understanding and sympathetic to what had happened to our child.

“The security guard himself has since confirmed publicly that he was representing another artist at the hotel at the time. While we still do not know what prompted him to approach them, and do not believe an 11-year-old at breakfast could reasonably be seen as any kind of security threat, it is now clear that he was not acting on behalf of Chappell.

“It was, ultimately, a misunderstanding in that respect, and I am glad to set the record straight. It’s important to me that this is clarified fairly and accurately.”

He concluded: “I regret the impact this situation has had on Chappell Roan, Catherine, Ada, and our family.

“I will always stand up for my family. But I also know how to recognise when things were not quite what they seemed at first.

“Thank you for the support we received during this sensitive moment. I do, however, want to make one thing very clear: I do not support or encourage hate speech or online attacks from any side. Respect, empathy, and humility are values I carry and teach my family every single day. As far as I am concerned, this matter is closed.”

A spokesperson for the Grammy-winning performer previously insisted to Page Six that Chappell “holds her own teams to the highest standards” and has “zero tolerance for aggressive behaviour toward her or her fans”.
