Chappell Roan denied explosive allegations that she made Jude Law’s minor daughter cry during an interaction in Brazil.
“I’m just gonna tell my half of the story of what happened today with a mother and child who were involved with a security guard, who is not my personal security,” the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer said on her Instagram Stories Sunday.
“I didn’t even see a woman and a child, like, no one came up to me. No one bothered me. I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel. I think these people were staying at the hotel, as well,” she added.

Roan, born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, said she did not instruct the security official to “go up and talk” to the mother and daughter, who were revealed to be Law’s ex Catherine Harding and their 11-year-old daughter, Ada.
“I did not, [and] they did not come up to me. They weren’t doing anything,” Roan, 28, clarified.
“It’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe because there’s no action even taken, like, that’s so not what I stand behind,” she added.
The pop star then stated that she does not “hate” people who are fans of her music.
“I do not hate children, like, that is crazy,” she added.

Roan concluded her video message by apologizing to Harding and Ada for the interaction with the security guard.
“I’m sorry to that mother and child that someone was assuming something that you would do something and that if you felt uncomfortable, that makes me really sad,” Roan said.
“You did not deserve that.”
Roan’s response came hours after Harding’s husband, Brazilian soccer star Jorginho Frello, blasted the singer and her security for causing his stepdaughter, Ada, to break down in tears at a hotel in São Paulo, Brazil.
“My daughter woke up extremely excited, she even made a sign because she was so happy to see an artist she really admires, or used to admire @chappellroan,” Frello wrote on Instagram Saturday hours ahead of Roan’s performance at Lollapalooza Brazil.

The athlete claimed Ada saw the “Pink Pony Club” songstress at breakfast but did not approach her.
“She just passed by the singer’s table, looked over to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to the table with her mom,” Frello claimed. “She didn’t say anything, didn’t ask for anything.”
Moments later, Frello claimed his wife and daughter were approached by Roan’s “large” security guard, who allegedly began “speaking in an extremely aggressive manner” to them.
Frello alleged that the guard accused the young child of “disrespect” and “harassment” and threatened to file a complaint with the hotel.

“My daughter got super scared and cried a lot,” Frello wrote. “Honestly, I don’t know in what world just passing by a table and looking … can be considered harassment.”
The soccer star concluded his statement with a direct message to Roan.
“Without your fans you would be nobody. And to the fans, she does not deserve your affection,” he wrote.
Jude, 53, and Harding welcomed Ada in March 2015 after the couple had already split.
