The Mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Cavaliere, has officially banned pop star Chappell Roan from performing at the city’s major music events, including the “Todo Mundo no Rio” festival. The decision follows a viral incident at a São Paulo hotel that reportedly left an 11-year-old girl in tears.
The controversy began when professional soccer star Jorginho Frello, who currently plays for Flamengo, posted a detailed account of an interaction involving his wife, Catherine Harding, and his stepdaughter, Ada Law (the daughter of actor Jude Law). According to Jorginho, the family was having breakfast at the same hotel as Roan when Ada recognized the singer. Jorginho claimed that while the child merely looked and smiled at Roan without approaching her, a security guard, purportedly acting on behalf of the singer, confronted the family in an “extremely aggressive” manner.
