Jorginho apologises for false accusation against pop singer Chappell Roan

Ex-Chelsea and Arsenal player Jorginho has admitted he was wrong after initially accusing Chappell Roan of being involved in an incident with his stepdaughter, calling the situation a misunderstanding and expressing regret.
nThe controversy began during a festival weekend in Brazil, when Jorginho claimed that a security guard linked to Roan had approached and frightened his 11-year-old stepdaughter.
nThe allegation quickly spread online, drawing criticism toward the singer.
nHowever, after reviewing new information, Jorginho reversed his position. In his statement, he acknowledged that his earlier claim was based on incomplete details.
nAs reported by BBC Sport on Tuesday, Jorginho said, “After learning more about what actually happened, I realize I made a mistake,” he said. “The person involved was not part of Chappell Roan’s team.”
nHe explained that his initial reaction came from concern as a parent:
n“In the moment, I was trying to protect my family, but I spoke too soon without having all the facts.”
nJorginho went on to apologize directly for the impact of his comments:
n“I regret what was said and any negativity it brought. This was a misunderstanding, and I want to make that clear.”
nFor her part, Chappell Roan had already denied any involvement and expressed sympathy over the situation, noting that she had no knowledge of the encounter at the time.
nJorginho concluded by urging people to move on from the incident:
n“There’s no need for hate toward anyone. Now that everything is clear, we can put this behind us.”
nThe episode, which briefly fueled online backlash, has now been resolved, with both sides emphasizing that the confusion stemmed from mistaken assumptions rather than any deliberate action.
