Insiders have revealed the reason why Kelly Rowland was in a verbal dispute with an assistant on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival – and claimed that she ‘doesn’t care’ if she comes across as a diva.
The singer, 43, had been attending the premiere of the French film Marcello Mio, and looked stunning in a busty red flowing gown.
How the Confrontation Started
As Kelly walked her way up the famous steps, she appeared to engage in a verbal dispute with a member of security after she held up her arm to guide her into the venue.
However, it has been revealed that the tiff came about because staff members at the iconic French festival were ‘being aggressive’ and Kelly had ‘had it’ with them.

‘The people who are assigned to helping stars walk the red carpet were being aggressive and Kelly was trying to ignore it,’ an insider revealed.
‘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 source also revealed: ‘She doesn’t care if she comes across like a diva if she knows that she is advocating for herself. She isn’t fake and wanted to set a clear boundary.’
Footage from the altercation shows a furious Kelly visibly scolding the staff member as she 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.
