Photos from the event show Rowland smiling at the crowd as she walked up the red carpet steps to go into the theater — before she seemingly got into a heated exchange with a female security guard.

The former Destiny’s Child member looked upset and angry as she pointed her finger toward the woman.

Rowland seemed displeased with what had gone down as she eventually walked away from the woman.

The Post has reached out to Rowland’s rep for comment.

This isn’t the first incident of drama that Rowland has been involved in this year.

The “Mea Culpa” actress made headlines in February when she walked off the “Today” show because her dressing rooms reportedly “weren’t up to par.” 

Rowland and her team reportedly played “musical dressing rooms” before inquiring about a dressing room on a different floor. However, it was already occupied by Jennifer Lopez.

“Kelly and her team were not happy,” a source close to the incident told Page Six. “They did not like the dressing room, so they decided to pull her off the show, leaving Hoda without a guest host for the 10 a.m. hour.”

According to the source, the show offered Rowland several other options, including multiple talent dressing rooms and larger utility makeup and hair areas.

“They didn’t want that. [The show] basically offered up as much as possible, but they weren’t happy with it, so they walked and they left,” the insider said.

Rowland’s last-minute exit left Hoda Kotb scrambling to fill her guest-host spot. Luckily, British superstar Rita Ora stepped in at the last minute.

Rowland’s rep released a statement about the incident at the time.

“After 28 years of knowing her, Kelly Rowland remains one of the kindest, most amiable humans I have ever met and have had the blessing to represent,” the rep told “Entertainment Tonight.”
