Previous Controversies
This red carpet altercation follows a recent controversy involving Kelly on the Today show in February. Reports claimed Kelly walked out during an appearance, with some sources alleging dissatisfaction with her dressing room.
However, insiders later suggested that Kelly Rowland left due to feeling disrespected by co-host Savannah Guthrie’s aggressive questioning about Beyoncé, rather than focusing on Kelly’s new film Mea Culpa.
Do you understand how out of pocket you have to be for Kelly Rowland to have to check you?!
