Soccer star Jorginho Frello is very publicly slamming Chappell Roan.
On Saturday (March 21), the 34-year-old Brazilian pro soccer player, who plays as a defensive midfielder for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Flamengo, took to Instagram to rip into the 28-year-old “Pink Pony Club” singer over a rude encounter with his 11-year-old daughter at a hotel restaurant.

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, recognized her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her,” he continued. “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.”
He alleged, “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. Honestly, I don’t know at what point simply walking past a table and looking to see if someone is there can be considered harassment.”
“He even said he would file a complaint against the hotel, while my 11-year-old daughter was sitting there in tears,” Jorginho continued. “My daughter was extremely shaken and cried a lot. I’ve lived with football, public exposure, and well-known people for many years, and I understand very well what respect and boundaries are. What happened there was not that. It was just a child admiring someone.”
He went on, “It’s sad to see this kind of treatment coming from those who should understand the importance of fans. At the end of the day, they are the ones who build all of this. I sincerely hope this serves as a moment of reflection. No one should have to go through this, especially not a child. @chappellroan”
“WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING,” Jorginho concluded. “AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION.”
As of right not, Chappell has not publicly responded to Jorginho.
Jorginho‘s allegations against Chappell come after she got called out following a viral encounter with a photographer in Paris.
