Jorginho attacks Chapelle Rouen’s security guard because he made his daughter cry

Former Chelsea and Arsenal player Jorginho may be known as a defensive midfielder – but he has gone viral on social media for his attack on pop singer Chapelle Rowan, claiming her security guard made his 11-year-old daughter cry.

The 34-year-old Italian international, who holds dual Brazilian citizenship and now plays for Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro, said in an Instagram post., external That his family experienced a “very disturbing situation” while having breakfast in a hotel in São Paulo, Brazil.

The former Premier League midfielder said his daughter was a big fan of Chappelle Rowan and had made a mark to go to the Lollapalooza music festival in Sao Paulo, which the singer was headlining.

He says that his daughter recognized the star while she was eating at a nearby table, passed by her, smiled, and then returned to her seat without saying anything or asking anything from the “Pink Pony Club” singer.

“What happened next was completely disproportionate,” he wrote.

“A senior security guard came to their table while they were still eating breakfast and started speaking in a very aggressive manner to my wife. [Catherine Harding] And my daughter, saying she should not allow my daughter to “disrespect” or “harass” others.”

He added: “He even said that he would file a complaint against them at the hotel, while my 11-year-old daughter was sitting there crying. My daughter was very shaken and cried a lot.”

Chappelle Rowan did not respond to his allegations.

Jorginho said he well understands the pressures of public exposure having played 57 times for Italy, helping them win the European title in 2021 by beating England at Wembley.

He has also played for elite clubs across Europe and Brazil, winning the Champions League and Europa League with Chelsea and silverware in Italy with Napoli.

But he added: “I understand very well what respect and boundaries are. What happened there was not that. It was just a kid who had a crush on someone.”

“It’s sad to see this kind of treatment coming from those who should understand the importance of fans. Ultimately, they are the ones building all of this.

“I sincerely hope this serves as a moment of reflection. No one should have to go through this, especially children.”

Jorginho ended his passionate post with a direct message to Chappelle-Rouane, written in capital letters: “Without your fans, you are nothing. And for the fans, they don’t deserve your love.”

The “unexpected incident”, as some commentators described it, led to a flood of responses on social media in support of Jorginho and his family – some serious, some sarcastic.

Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere wrote that he intends to ban Chappelle Ruan from performing in his city, adding that Jorginho’s daughter will be invited as a guest of honor at the city’s Todo Mundo music festival in May.
