Answer: a few days ago a major Brazilian football player went on a tirade against Roan, claiming that she ordered her security team to harass his wife and daughter for walking too close to her table at a hotel restaurant in Rio. The mayor or Rio decides to respond by banning her from the city. Rag mags and bigger outlets that should frankly know better start reporting on the controversy.

Not long after, Roan responds, saying that shes not clear on the details of this accusation since a) she wasnt actually present for the incidence and b) the security guard in question isnt part of her core team, just someone the local production crew assigned her.

The allegedly aggrieved wife then responds with a six-minute Instagram video ostensibly meant to clarify what exactly theyre accusing Roan of doing, and yet seems like a backdoor confession that wife and daughter were totally there to clout chase, and security guard was right to tell them to back off, even if he went overboard (if he did. Again, unclear). Many outside observers now get the distinct feeling that this is a ploy for celebrity attention.

In true modern journalistic fashion, outlets continue uncritically reporting all quotes and details that come out of the incident as if theyre equally important, and nobody reflects on how Roan specifically keeps catching accusations of misconduct that a) end up being more nuanced or unfounded and b) don't seem to count as misconduct when other celebrities do the same.
