Justice for Chappell Roan! On Monday, Jorginho, the soccer star who alleged that the bestselling artist was responsible for a security guard making his stepdaughter cry—supposedly because the child stared at Roan—made an apology on his Instagram story: “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.”

The incident took place last month during the Lollapalooza music festival in São Paulo, Brazil, where Jorginho claimed in a social media post that a security guard “aggressively” confronted his wife Catherine and stepdaughter Ada and upset the child after she walked past Roan’s breakfast table. He tagged Roan at the end of that post: “@chappellroan WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING. AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION.”

The post went viral, leading to an ongoing online harassment campaign against Roan, and even led Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere to post on X that he intended to ban her from performing in the city’s highest-profile international music festival.

Despite Roan saying at the time that she “didn’t even see a woman and a child”........
