Kelly Rowland has been shutting down the Cannes Film Festival red carpet with her beauty and jaw-dropping dresses. However, on Tuesday, she unfortunately found herself in an unpleasant situation with a security guard. As she was walking the red carpet for the Marcello Mio premiere on the Palais des Festivals staircase, she was seen being rushed off the carpet by a security guard who also said something to the singer, which led to the confrontation. The clip went viral and had everyone ready to ride for the child of destiny.
Now, the "Coffee" singer is speaking out following the incident. On Thursday, during her amfAR Cannes Gala red carpet appearance, she held back tears as she explained what went down while talking to the Associated Press.
"The woman knows what happened. I know what happened," she said. "I have a boundary, and I stand by those boundaries, and that is it."
She continued, "And there were other women that attended that carpet who did not quite look like me, and they didn’t get scolded or pushed off or told to get off. I stood my ground, and she felt like she had to stand hers, but I stood my ground."
IKTR! Kelly's incident with the security guard is a lesson that no matter what, as Black women, it is important to stand up for ourselves even in the face of adversity. The mother of two continued her Cannes tour, giving us look after look, and fans have been eating it up.
