The bodyguard at the center of the Chappell Roan controversy has spoken out. Pascal Duvier confirms he takes full responsibility for making Jude Law's 11-year-old daughter cry but insists he wasn't working for the singer. The incident unfolded at a Sao Paulo hotel on March 21.
Oh honey, the tea is piping hot from Brazil! Pascal Duvier, the security guard who turned a little girl's hotel hallway peek into tears, just dropped his Instagram statement on March 25, setting the record straight amid the online frenzy. 💥 'I take full responsibility for the interactions on March 21st. I was at the hotel on behalf of another individual, and I was not part of the personal security team of Chappell Roan,' Duvier wrote. 'The actions I took were not on behalf of Chappell Roan, her personal security team, her management, or any other individuals.' He explained it was a 'judgment call based on information we obtained from the hotel, events I had witnessed in the days prior and the heightened overall security risk of our location.' Duvier added that his 'sole interaction with the mother was calm and with good intentions, and the outcome of the encounter is regretful.' He didn't hold back on the rumors either: 'The accusations currently circulating are false and constitute defamation.' Backstory? The 11-year-old daughter of Jude Law (whose stepfather is Brazilian soccer star Jorginho Frello and mom is Catherine Harding) was walking by Chappell Roan's breakfast table at their shared Sao Paulo hotel when Duvier reprimanded her and her mother, leaving the kid in tears. Jorginho called out Chappell online, prompting her apology video where she said she had no idea about the girl passing by and confirmed the guard wasn't hers. Chappell's rep followed up with a statement too. The drama even escalated to Rio de Janeiro's mayor preemptively banning Chappell from the Todo Mundo no Rio event. Pascal's not with her team—case closed? But with security risks cited, is this messy mix-up or more to spill? 👀
