Kelly Rowland, 43, has broken her silence on the incident in Cannes – she was attending the premiere of the French film Marcello Mio on Tuesday, when she appeared to engage in a verbal dispute with a member of security.
What Happened?
The singer explained there were other women who did not look like her that were treated differently and insisted she was just standing her ground.
‘The woman knows what happened. I know what happened,’ she said. ‘And, I have a boundary. And I stand by those boundaries and that is it.’
‘There were other women who attended that carpet, who did not quite look like me, and they didn’t get scolded or pushed off or told to get off.’
The female security guard held up her arm to guide her into the venue and Kelly appeared furious.
Kelly held up her finger to admonish the woman in front of the crowd in attendance.
The security guard appeared to frantically respond to Kelly, who even turned back to continue her tirade as she made her way up the rest of the steps.
Experts Reveal What Kelly’s Words
A lip-reading expert revealed what Kelly really said during the heated interaction with the French woman.
Jacqui Press revealed that after the security guard appeared to step on her dress, she apologised and Kelly said: ‘It’s OK.’
However, the security guard then said something else, causing Kelly’s change in mood, as she responded: ‘Don’t talk to me like that.’
As the security guard continued to usher her up the stairs, Kelly turned around and repeated the phrase several times.
