Kelly Rowland spoke out about her heated exchange on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, May 21. The 43-year-old singer and member of Destiny’s Child shared her thoughts in an interview with The Associated Press, published on Thursday, May 23. Although she did not directly say what happened, Kelly hinted at discrimination against her, talking about her feelings.
When asked about the incident, Kelly briefly explained what happened from her point of view. «The woman knows what happened. I know what happened, and I have boundaries, and I stick to those boundaries», - she told AP. «I held my position, and she felt she needed to hold hers, and I held mine, and that’s that».
During the interview, Kelly also claimed that discrimination was taking place, but did not reveal many other details. She hinted that the woman was «scolding» her as she walked the red carpet. «There were other women who showed up on that carpet who didn’t quite look like me, and they didn’t get scolded, pushed away, or told to move», - she told the publication.
Kelly attracted a lot of attention when a video of her heated exchange with a staff member at the Cannes Film Festival went viral. The singer was wearing a red strapless dress for the premiere of the film Marcello Mio, but during her walk on the red carpet, she could be seen arguing with the staff member. At one point, she pointed her finger at the staff member’s face and appeared to be arguing with him.
After the incident, a source shed light on what happened in a report from Daily Mail. «The people assigned to help the stars on the red carpet were aggressive», - they said. «By the time she got to the last woman, she was exhausted because she was scolding Kelly and telling her to move when she was trying to wave to fans and help paparazzi take their pictures»
