“Maybe try ‘I regret making a public statement without all of the information that lead to a two week global hate campaign, and pile on of a young woman who was not in any way involved with the incident,’” wrote Jameela Jamil.

The alleged incident occurred at a hotel in São Paulo, where they were all staying for the Lollapalooza festival. Jorginho claimed that his stepdaughter walked past Chappell’s breakfast table, looked to confirm that she’d seen the singer, and smiled before returning to sit with her mom, when a “large security guard” approached their table and berated the child.

Jorginho said that the 11-year-old was left “extremely shaken” and in tears, before writing to Chappell directly: “WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING. AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION.”

“I am sorry to the mother and child that someone was assuming that you would do something, and if you felt uncomfortable. That makes me really sad. You did not deserve that,” she added.

Catherine then addressed Chappell’s response, stating in part, “I think that you have a responsibility when you are a celebrity to make sure that the people that work for you and that act on your behalf are acting on your behalf.” You can read a full breakdown of her statement here.

“The security guard himself has since confirmed publicly that he was representing another artist at the hotel at the time,” he wrote. “While we still do not know what prompted him to approach them, and do not believe an 11-year-old at breakfast could reasonably be seen as any kind of security threat, it is now clear that he was not acting on behalf of Chappell.”

The athlete concluded by thanking his fans for their support, before noting that he does not condone “hate speech or online attacks from any side.”
