Jorginho publicly blasted the singer in an Instagram post over the security guard's aggressive speech toward Ada (pictured)

Responding to her comments, Harding said: 'Look, I would like to hope not, but at the same time, I think that you have a responsibility when you are a celebrity to make sure, I guess, that the people who work for you and that act on your behalf are acting on your behalf.'

She added: 'Would he do that if he didn't have her authority to do so? I don't know. If he does, then, obviously, that's a big problem because then he's representing her in a way that she doesn't want to be represented.'

According to Harding, the incident 'ruined' Ada's birthday treat after Duvier chose to 'berate and scold' the mother-daughter pair with a 'very aggressive tone'.

Harding added: 'For me, I feel like if she [Roan] really didn't send him, [the security guard] overstepped a boundary because he is quite an intimidating [man].'

The mom-of-two also claimed Duvier had told her that her daughter was 'badly educated' and had threatened to file a complaint with the hotel.
