Security guard Pascal Duvier has broken his silence regarding the incident that left Jude Law's daughter, Ada, in tears at a luxury hotel in São Paulo, Brazil. Duvier, who was initially believed to be working for Chappell Roan, clarified that he was actually employed by Sabrina Carpenter at the time of the confrontation. The incident occurred on March 21 when Duvier allegedly 'aggressively' confronted 11-year-old Ada Law for smiling at Roan during breakfast. Duvier issued a statement on Instagram, taking full responsibility for his actions and stating that his decision was based on heightened security concerns. Chappell Roan's spokesperson denied any involvement, asserting that Roan did not direct her security team to interact with Ada. The incident has sparked widespread discussion about celebrity security protocols and interactions with young fans.
Background and Context
The confrontation took place at the Tangara Palace hotel, where both Roan and Carpenter were staying while performing at the Lollapalooza festival in São Paulo. Footage and social media posts confirmed Duvier's presence with Carpenter, who had previously worked with high-profile clients, including Kim Kardashian. Duvier's statement emphasized that his actions were not on behalf of Roan but were influenced by prior events and security risks. Ada was staying with her mother, Catherine Harding, and stepfather, Brazilian footballer Jorginho, at the time of the incident. Harding later shared details of the encounter on social media, suggesting Duvier was part of Roan's security team, a claim Duvier has since refuted.
Multiple Perspectives
While Duvier has taken responsibility, the incident has led to differing narratives. Some reports highlight Roan's past statements about setting boundaries with fans, while others focus on the security guard's professional history and the potential overreach of his actions. The incident has also raised questions about the appropriateness of security measures in high-profile settings and the impact on young fans.
