Pop singer Chappell Roan has said she “does not hate children” in response to former Chelsea and Arsenal player Jorginho‘s claim that his family suffered “a deeply upsetting situation” involving a security guard.

Jorginho, who plays for Flamengo in Brazil, posted an Instagram story Saturday explaining that his wife and daughter were in Sao Paulo for the Lollapalooza music festival to see the headlining Roan, whom his daughter is a big fan of.

The midfielder said his wife and daughter were having breakfast in a hotel when they spotted Roan eating at a nearby table and his excited daughter simply walked past her, smiled, and went back to her seat.

“A large security guard came over to their table while they were still having breakfast and began speaking in an extremely aggressive manner to both my wife [Catherine Harding] and my daughter, saying that she shouldn’t allow my daughter to ‘disrespect’ or ‘harass’ other people,” Jorginho wrote in Portuguese.

“He even said he would file a complaint against them with the hotel, while my 11-year-old daughter was sitting there in tears.

“My daughter was extremely shaken and cried a lot.”

The Italy international explained he, too, has received lots of attention in his career and understands respect and boundaries, but this was not an acceptable reaction.

“What happened there was not that. It was just a child admiring someone,” Jorginho said.

“It’s sad to see this kind of treatment coming from those who should understand the importance of fans.

“I sincerely hope this serves as a moment of reflection. No one should have to go through this, especially not a child.”

At the end of his Instagram post, Jorginho wrote: “WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING. AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION.”

Roan has since responded with a video explaining her “half of the story” after receiving backlash on social media.

“What happened today with a mother and child who were involved with a security guard who is not my personal security,” Roan said. “I didn’t even see. I didn’t even see a woman and a child. No one came up to me. No one bothered me.”

Roan said she did not ask a security to intervene.

“I do not hate people who are fans of my music,” she said. “I do not hate children. Like, that is crazy.

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

Rio de Janeiro’s mayor, Eduardo Cavaliere, has jumped to Jorginho’s defense, writing in a post on X that he intends to ban the singer from performing in his city.

England’s Matt Fitzpatrick bounced back from an agonising near miss at the Players Championship to win the Valspar Championship,

Fitzpatrick had led last week’s Players by one shot on the 17th tee but a par-bogey finish cost him as American Cameron Young closed birdie-par to snatch victory.

But Fitzpatrick earned redemption on Sunday at Palm Harbor, Florida, sinking a 14ft-putt to birdie the 18th hole and beat American David Lipsky by one shot.

The 31-year-old carded a three-under-par 68 to finish on 11 under and had to wait for two groups to complete their rounds before his third PGA Tour win was confirmed.

“To come away with a win this week is really special, considering last week’s performance as well,” said Fitzpatrick, who last won on the tour in 2023.

“I’ll be honest, it wasn’t an ideal putt [on 18]. I wouldn’t say I was overly keen on it considering my putting performance but to get it done was special.”

Fitzpatrick, who won the DP World Tour Championship in November, says he will have a two-week break before preparing for next month’s Masters.

“I’m obviously very confident in my game right now but what it takes to win a major is very different to what it takes to win on the PGA Tour,” added the 2022 US Open champion.

“Particularly the Masters, there’s extra pressure on the Masters, no matter who you are. It just has that standing above all the other events, as well as the majors.

“I’m coming away from this week delighted with where my game’s at but there’s stuff I want to improve.”

Fellow Englishman Jordan Smith, 33, was third on nine under – his best finish on the PGA Tour.

Smith’s compatriot Marco Penge, South Korea’s Sungjae Imm who had led for three rounds, and Ameircan Xander Schauffele were all tied for fourth on eight under.

March Madness has a new darling.

St. John’s Red Storm guard Dylan Darling found a lane and drove it. With four seconds left in the game, he blew past Kansas Jayhawks defender Elmarko Jackson and made the game-winning layup before time expired.

For the first time since 1999, the Red Storm will be headed to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.

“It was ugly, but we got it done,” Darling said.

The No. 4-seeded St. John’s struggled late in the second half as Kansas pressed up the floor. St. John’s held a 10-point lead with 6:36 left in the game. But a few missed shots and a couple of turnovers and the Jayhawks were right back in the game.

Kansas star Darryn Peterson made two free throws with 13 seconds left to tie the game. The Jayhawks, who were the No. 5 seed, had four fouls to give and used them all up to get the game down to about four seconds to go. The idea was to keep the Red Storm on their toes and to keep them from setting up a decent inbounds play.

But Darling got the last laugh with his two-point bucket – his only points of the game. He had four assists and two steals.

Red Storm’s Zuby Ejofor and Bryce Hopkins each had 18 points to lead St. John’s.

Peterson led Kansas with 21 points. Melvin Council Jr. had 15 points and Flory Bidunga had 12 points.
