Kelly Rowland has broken her silence on the Cannes red carpet moment that had social media buzzing.
In the now viral clip, the GRAMMY winner was seen admonishing security at the event which appeared to be unfairly rushing her along on the red carpet.
Now, in an interview with the Associated Press, Ms. Kelly has addressed the drama and insisted “I stood my ground.”
Full story below…
When quizzed on the matter, the singer/actress said:
“The woman knows what happened. I know what happened. And I have a boundary and I stand by those boundaries. And that is it.”
Continuing, Rowland importantly pointed out:
“There were other women on that carpet that did not quite look like me – and they didn’t get scolded or pushed off. Or told to get off. And I stood my ground.”
Watch the full interview:
More power to Ms. Kelly for standing her ground.

The red carpet team certainly hasn’t said anything to Heidi Klum doing her thing right in the middle of the steps.
Kelly did nothing wrong it’s disrespectful. Shame on them.

as she should
The blonde is a downgrade. I wish my sistas would get over this mess.
Your ignorance is showing, their are indigenous african tribes with blonde hair and blue eyes. Show respect to QUEEN KELLY.
Screaming! Kelly, so you think this is your Rosa Park moment?? 🤣💀I’m weak! They were rushing you because you ain’t Beyoncé hunnie💅🏻 also, this is not your sign & greet event so she needs to respect the ceremony and keeps moving.
Dumb black person even if it woul be Rihanna, Nickki or Beyonce they would treat them like that we all know you never saw europe ghetto head so dont talk about countries you never visit because people over her dont like black so stay in your ghetto,
Proud of you kelly. Well done 😍
YESS MEA! CULPT THEM All THE WAY TOGETHA
Angry black b!tchh
My understanding was she didn’t get a chance to speak to a lot of press and pose for photographers cuz the event handlers were ushering her to move quickly. They prob felt not many reporters wanted to ask her anything..which is sad…
cmon u guys dont turn this incident into racism . they did that with a lot of white ppl too , hence i totally understand kelly s reaction and kudos to her standing her grounds
