The footballer reported via social media what his wife Catherine Harding and little Ava told, but he was not present at the time of the incident

March 22 – 2.19pm – MILAN

Controversy via social media for the former midfielder of the Italian national team Jorginhonow at Flamengo after two years at Arsenal.

Jorginho attacks pop star Chappell Roan

“Today I experienced a very unpleasant situation with my family. My wife, Catherine Harding, is in Sao Paulo for Lollapalooza Brasil”, thus began Jorginho’s long social outburst, not present at the time of the facts: “This morning my daughter woke up excited. She even made a sign because she was so happy to see an artist she admires a lot, or who she used to admire.”

Catherine Harding and daughter Adaborn eleven years ago from the relationship between the woman and the actor Jude Law, were staying in the same hotel chosen by Chappell Roan and his staff. “During breakfast,” Jorginho continued in Portuguese and English, “the artist passed by their table. My daughter, like any child, recognized her, got excited and just wanted to make sure it was really her.”

The little girl, according to Jorginho’s story, she would have headed towards the table of the star of Pink Pony Club, Red Wine Supernova And The Subwayaccording to him without disturbing: “She didn’t even come close. She simply passed by the singer’s table, looked to confirm that it was her, smiled and went back to sit with her mother. She didn’t say anything, she didn’t ask anything.”

At that point, “a large security guard approached while they were still eating breakfast and began speaking extremely aggressively to both my wife and daughter, saying that he should not allow my daughter to ‘disrespect’ or ‘harass’ other people.” Honestly, I don’t understand how passing by a table and looking to see if a person is there could be considered harassment. He even said he would file a complaint against them at the hotel, while my 11 year old daughter sat there crying. My daughter was deeply shocked and cried,” the 34-year-old continued in his long social outburstbefore attacking Chappell Roan directly.

“I have lived in the world of football, public exposure and famous people for many years, and I know well what respect and limits are. What happened there was not. She was just a little girl who admired someone. It is sad to see such treatment by those who should understand the importance of fans. In the end, they are the ones who built all this. I sincerely hope that this serves as a moment of reflection. No one should go through something like this, especially not a child,” concluded Jorginho tagging Chappell Roan’s Instagram profile and launching a final thrust: “Without your fans you would be nobody.”

Despite the virality of Jorginho’s social attack, neither the singer-songwriter nor her staff they responded publicly or provided their own version of what happened.
