  • Pop star Chappell Roan has faced significant online backlash following accusations that a security guard berated Jude Law's 11-year-old stepdaughter at a hotel.
  • The incident was reported by Brazilian footballer Jorginho, who claimed his wife and stepdaughter were left in tears after an encounter with a security guard near Roan at Lollapalooza Brasil.
  • Roan has denied that the security guard was part of her personal detail and stated she was unaware of the incident at the time.
  • New data from AI-driven behavioural intelligence platform Gudea suggests that a substantial portion of the online criticism against Roan was driven by bots and 'non-typical' users.
