  • 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.
