Kelly Rowland had to assert her identity to a security guard on the 2024 Cannes Film Festival red carpet on Tuesday.
The Destiny’s Child member was attending the premiere of the French-Italian comedy Marcello Mio when tensions flared between her and a red carpet staffer. In a video from the event, Rowland is seen posing for photographers while being escorted, before a security guard signaled for her to move up the stairs.
Rowland appeared to say something to the woman, even gently grabbing her arm. The woman’s response seemed to upset Rowland, prompting her to point a finger in the woman’s face while continuing to speak. The security guard appeared taken aback and conferred with team members around Rowland, who shot back another comment at her.
This incident marks the second time this year that Rowland has had a confrontation with a production team member. In February, the Mea Culpa star reportedly left the Today show due to dissatisfaction with her dressing room, according to Page Six.
When later asked about the conflict on WGN News, Rowland declined to comment, instead expressing her “love” for Today and co-anchor Hoda Kotb.
