Kelly Rowland Gives Her Side Of Cannes ‘L’Affaire de Red Carpet’ Dust-Up

Kelly Rowland feels the French security rushed her time on the red carpet at Cannes, leading to a widely circulated confrontation.

The incident happened Tuesday as Rowland walked into the premiere of the French film Marcello Mio. There were words exchanged and Rowland raised her finger to emphasize her point.

“The woman knows what happened, I know what happened,” Rowland told the AP at the amfAR Cannes Gala on Thursday. “I have a boundary and I stand by those boundaries, and that is it. And there were other women that attended that carpet who did not quite look like me, and they didn’t get that scolding, or pushed off, or told to get off. I stood my ground, and she felt like she had to stand hers. But I stood my ground.”

Rowland reportedly was angered by being rushed along by ushers. One of the ushers stepped on her dress and repeatedly touched Rowland’s arm, leading to words.
