Chappell Roan bodyguard Pascal Duvier says what?

Pascal Duvier says he takes full responsibility

Pascal Duvier, the security guard at the center of the Chappell Roan controversy, has broken his silence with a clear message: he was not working for Roan when the incident occurred and he “takes full responsibility.” The latest account backs up Roan’s version that she wasn’t behind the guard’s actions, while Duvier positions himself as the accountable party.

What the dispute was about

The controversy erupted after Roan’s security situation became the subject of claims involving Jude Law’s daughter, Ada Law. Multiple reports describe a moment in a Brazil hotel lobby in which Ada Law was left in tears, and the story quickly turned into a debate over who employed the guard and what exactly happened.

Why this matters

For high-profile performers, security controversies have two immediate impacts: they can create reputational damage and also raise questions about how fan management is handled during travel and hotel stays.

Duvier’s comments also attempt to clarify the chain of responsibility—whether Roan’s team was involved at the time and whether the guard was acting on her behalf.

What’s included in the statements

• Duvier says he was not working for Roan at the time of the incident
• He says he is responsible for what happened
• His statements are meant to align with Roan’s account that she wasn’t connected to the guard’s role

No additional operational details were provided about hotel procedures or how the situation began beyond the public-facing description of the incident and its aftermath.
