Kelly Rowland 'scolds security guard' on red carpet - 'she doesn't care if she looks like a diva'

Kelly Rowland is going viral for her ‘heated exchange’ with a security guard on the Cannes Red Carpet. The singer looked happy as she smiled and posed for pictures, but all that changed in an instant when one security guard said something to ‘upset her’.

The music star attended the premiere of the French movie Marcello Mio, in a stunning red gown that matched the carpet. However, things took a turn when she appeared to ‘scold’ one of the guards on the famous stairs.

Kelly Rowland ‘scolds’ security guard at Cannes Red Carpet

Stunning in her red dress and blonde bob, the former Destiny’s Child star walked up the stairs, filled with many guards, with a smile on her face.

One security guard in particular stretched her arm out behind the mom of two, to guide her into the venue while she was smiling and posing, which later turned into a ‘heated exchange’.

Kelly appeared to raise her finger at the guard, as her facial expression drastically changed. The security member then appeared to respond to the star, although it is unclear what the ‘dispute’ was about at the time.

However, insiders at the event have now given an insight into what may have happened. “The people who are assigned to helping stars walk the red carpet were being aggressive and Kelly was trying to ignore it,” a source told The Daily Mail.

“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 said.

The insider also told the publication that Kelly ‘didn’t care’ if she came across as a ‘diva’. “She isn’t fake and wanted to set a clear boundary.”

Fans are on the singer’s side

It looks like Kelly doesn’t need to worry about ‘looking like a diva’ as fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to fight her corner.

“As she should the security was all over her and being weird she was respectful at first but the security kept going,” wrote one.

Another fan attempted to lip-read the exchange: “All I can make out is Kelly saying “’don’t talk to me like that!!’”

“One of the few celebs where I’m like yeah, be disrespectful. You’ve earned it. Esp bc it looks like that security guard stepped on her dress and was not nice to her,” a third penned.
