Kelly Rowland’s recent red-carpet outburst has quickly become a topic of conversation across various media outlets. On Tuesday, the blonde-haired Kelly Rowland graced the Cannes Film Festival for the French-Italian film Marcello Mio premiere. However, things quickly got heated on the red carpet as viral videos from the event showed the singer seemingly scolding an assistant. Hours after the exchange, insiders have revealed the reason behind the star’s shocking outburst.
On Tuesday, Kelly Rowland attended the 2024 Cannes Film Festival looking as radiant as ever. The actress dazzled in a busty, handless, red, flowing gown and a blonde bob wig. Like every other movie premiere, Rowland graced the red carpet for some photos. Pictures showed the icon smiling and waving at the crowd while making her way down the red carpet, striking pose after pose for the eager shutterbugs. However, things quickly took a different turn as Rowland made her way up a set of stairs. Videos capturing that moment showed a female security guard walking up to the former The Voice coach.
The woman, dressed in a black pantsuit, held her arm behind Rowland, seemingly guiding her away from the crowd and into the theater. She then said something which, from all indications, didn’t sit right with Rowland. Immediately, the 43-year-old turned to face the female staffer. Rowland scowled as she held up her left pointer finger and appeared to scold the woman in front of everyone. As she spoke back, the female security seemed frazzled, prompting Rowland to continue the outburst while going up the stairs.
Source Reveals the Reason for Kelly Rowland’s Red Carpet Outburst
Hours after the incident, insiders finally gave curious fans the details of what transpired. According to them, Rowland wasn’t the instigator in the incident. Speaking to Daily Mail, a source revealed Kelly Rowland’s red carpet outburst was because she was tired of dealing with the staff members’ aggressiveness.
“The people who are assigned to helping stars walk the red carpet were being aggressive and Kelly was trying to ignore it,” the source said. “By the time she got to the last woman she had had it because she scolded Kelly and told her to move when she was trying to wave to fans and help the paparazzi get their shot,” they added.
The insider also explained that Rowland didn’t care if she came across like a diva as long as she advocated for herself. “She isn’t fake and wanted to set a clear boundary,” the source revealed. Meanwhile, fans still hope to get an explanation from the horse’s mouth.
