Quantcast

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.

Following the Marcello Mio premiere, Kelly also attended the Le Comte De Monte-Cristo premiere and theamfAR Cannes Gala. Check out the looks below.

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.
